Re:Big Book of R by wdkrnls on Friday April 11, 2025 @03:01PM (#43657274)
Is there a way to trace an attribute to a function? I couldn't find one, but curious if it exists. I seemed blocked by the fact that trace seemed to expect a name as a character string. Some functions in base R have functions in their attributes which modify their behavior (e.g. selfStart). I ended up just copying the whole code locally and then naming it, but for a better interactive experience I really wish there was a way to pass a function object as I can with debug.
