similar to: Why is srcref of length 6 and not 4 ?

First, why does this expression have a 'srcref' element: > exprA <- substitute(function(x) a*x, list(a=2)) > print(exprA) function(x) 2 * x > str(as.list(exprA)) List of 4 $ : symbol function $ :Dotted pair list of 1 ..$ x: symbol $ : language 2 * x $ :Class 'srcref' atomic [1:8] 1 20 1 34 20 34 1 1 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Classes

I noticed the following file descriptor leak when I couldn't remove a package unless I shut down the R session that had loaded and used it. The function that triggered the problem printed the output of a call to parse(). Each time one prints a srcref a connection is opened and not closed. It looks like it happens in as.character.srcref's call to getSrcLines, which has some logic I

I have just committed some changes to R-devel (which will become R 2.5.0 next spring) to add source references to parsed R code. Here's a description of the scheme: The design is done through 2 old-style classes. "srcfile" corresponds to a source file: it contains a filename, the working directory in which that filename is to be interpreted, the last modified timestamp of the

Specifically, the srcfile attribute of the srcref attribute of the two instances of the functions contain different environments, AFAICT. Environments are compared only by exact pointer, so this forces return FALSE.

Hello, I submit a patch for review that implements code coverage tracing in the R interpreter. It records the lines that are actually executed and their associated frequency for which srcref information is available. I perfectly understands that this patch will not make its way inside R as it is, that they are many concerns of stability, compatibility, maintenance and so on. I would like to have

Just checking in to see whether it is intended or not that assigning new formals to a function/closure causes any attributes to be dropped: EXAMPLE: > fcn <- structure(function() {}, foo="foo", class=c("foo")) > str(fcn) function () - attr(*, "srcref")=Class 'srcref' atomic [1:8] 1 18 1 30 18 30 1 1 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Classes

Dear R-devel, In a package of mine, I use removeSource on expression objects in order to make expressions that are semantically the same serialize to the same byte sequences: https://github.com/cran/depcache/blob/854d68a/R/fixup.R#L8-L34 Today I learned that expressions containing function definitions also contain the source references for the functions, not as an attribute, but as a separate

If you can afford a dependency on rlang, `rlang::zap_srcref()` deals with this. It's recursive over expression vectors, calls (including calls to `function` and their hidden srcref arg), and function objects. It's implemented in C for efficiency as we found it to be a bottleneck in some applications (IIRC caching). I'd be happy to upstream this in base if R core is interested. Best,

Dear R-Core Team, I found an unexpected behaviour in utils::removeSource (also present in r-devel as of today). --- # create a function which accepts NULL argument foo <- function(x, y) { if (is.null(y)) y <- "default foo" attr(x, "foo") <- y x } # create a function which utilizes 'foo' testSrc <- function() { x <- 1:3 x <- foo(x,

Dear R developers, Print method for function now tries to open the source file associated with srcref of the function. It outputs only the warning, if file cannot be open, and forgets to print the function definition. Example: eval(parse(text = "tf <- function(a){ b <- a^4 b }", srcfile = srcfile("xxx at 17"))) > tf <srcref: file "xxx at 17"

In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the current directory in the main R window title bar, and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I can always tell where I am in the file system. cd <- function(dir) { base::setwd(dir) utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) ) } short.path <- function(dir, len=2) { np

It happens in the token function in gram.c:     c = SkipSpace();     if (c == '#') c = SkipComment(); and then SkipComment goes like that: static int SkipComment(void) {     int c;     while ((c = xxgetc()) != '\n' && c != R_EOF) ;     if (c == R_EOF) EndOfFile = 2;     return c; } which effectively drops comments. Would it be possible to keep the information

Hello, I've tried several times yesterday to build R-devel and I consistently get this error when I "make" : mkdir -p -- ../../../library/base/R make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/profile' make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base' building package 'base' make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base' mkdir -p --

Hi, The result of as,character() on 'srcref' objects doesn't have the closing ')' in some cases involving 'quote': > e4 <- quote({2+2}) > class(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "srcref" > as.character(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "e4 <- quote({2+2}" As a result printing the object also lacks it and gives an

When large calls cause errors R may stall for extended periods.? This is particularly likely to happen with `do.call`, as in this example with a 24 second stall: ??? x <- runif(1e7) ??? system.time(do.call(paste0, list(abs, x)))? # intentional error ??? ## Error in (function (..., collapse = NULL)? : ??? ##?? cannot coerce type 'builtin' to vector of type 'character' ??? ##

Hello, It seems that the parsing information attached to expressions parsed by the parse() function when keep.source=TRUE is not provided to the eval() function. Please consider this code: path <- tempfile() code <- '(function() print( str( sys.calls() ) ))()' writeLines(code, path) sys.source(path, envir=globalenv(), keep.source=TRUE) > OUTPUT: Dotted pair list of 4 $ :

Hi, on R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) (Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)) sourced functions have srcref attached as an attribute. Are such data also available for S4 generics and methods? How? (See sample code below) Thank you. Bests, Renaud f <- textConnection( " f <- function(){} setGeneric('myfun', function(x, ...) standardGeneric('myfun'))

For documentation we use a system that generates Rd files from special comments in the code. (inlinedocs). It is crucial to be able to get the defining source code for objects like methods to extract the comments from it. Here is an R session that shows how this works for several kinds of methods and (at the end of the session) how if fails for methods of "initialize" >

Hello all I'm coming late to this discussion, and my comments may now be beside the point-- but I have been intending to ask what people think of the pros & cons of internal and external (e.g. 'debug' package) debuggers. When I wrote 'debug', the internal debugger just didn't do what I wanted, but maybe things have changed-- hence this email, to find out. The
