Hello,

Consider this file (/tmp/test.R) :

<file>
f <- function( x, y = 2 ){
   z <- x + y
   print( z )
}
</file>

I get this in R 2.7.2 :

 > p <- parse( "/tmp/test.R" )
 > str( attr( p, "srcref" ) )
List of 1
$ :Class 'srcref'  atomic [1:4] 1 1 4 1
 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Class 'srcfile' length 4 <environment>

and this in R-devel :

 > p <- parse( "/tmp/test.R" )
 > str( attr(p, "srcref") )
List of 1
$ :Class 'srcref'  atomic [1:6] 1 1 4 1 1 1
 .. ..- attr(*, "srcfile")=Class 'srcfile' <environment: 0x946b944>

What are the two last numbers ?

Romain
