The following example in ?dump.frames
options(error = quote({dump.frames(to.file = TRUE); q()}))
is useful for teaching the user how to save a frame dump when R
encounters an error during non-interactive sessions. This command
however causes an additional change that on encountering an error R
exits with a 0 error status. Although it's just an example, it's an
important one as it's referenced in the 'Details' section of the help
file. I think it would be better to encourage exiting with a nonzero
error status:
options(error = quote({dump.frames(to.file = TRUE); q(status = 1)}))
