Hi

I just read this announcement about integretion of debugging in vim, and in
emacs. This feature sounds VERY interesting, but I do not know enough about
emacs and lisp to help in the implementation for emacs.

Is here anybody who could help?


Thanks,

Rainer

Subject: [R] Announce: edtdbg, integrating R's debug() with your text editor
To: r-help@r-project.org


I've just developed edtdbg, a small package that integrates R's debug()
with one's text editor.

Excerpt from the README file:

  Goal

  The debug() function in R is primitive.   My goal was to make it more
  usable by integrating it with one's text editor.  Hence I wrote the
  package here, edtdbg.  Its features include:

      * As one steps from line to line of code using the debugger, the
        cursor in the editor will always follow, i.e. it will alway be on
        whatever line the debugger is on.
      * One can enable automatic display of user-specified variables.
      * One can quickly and conveniently set "breakpoints."

  Currently the package is implemented only for Vim.  In addition, the
  second and third features require the vim-r plugin for Vim.  Emacs/ESS
  users should easily be able to convert the code; some of the machinery
  is already in the code and in the instructions below.

I'm placing the current version of the package at:

http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/R/edtdbg/edtdbg.tar.gz<http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Ematloff/R/edtdbg/edtdbg.tar.gz>

http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/R/edtdbg/edtdbg.zip<http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Ematloff/R/edtdbg/edtdbg.zip>

Please give me your comments.  I probably will upload to CRAN at some
point, possibly after an ESS guru contributes the ESS code. :-)

A note on my Rdsm package for parallel R:  The new, much improved
version is just about ready.  I'll be uploading Rdsm to CRAN very soon.
