.isOpen(srcfile)encoding argument of parse.srcfilecopy known to come from a file system file? srcfile object. srcfile to obtain the
text of a srcref. srcfile returns a srcfile object.srcfilecopy returns a srcfilecopy object.getSrcLines returns a character vector of source code lines.srcref returns a srcref object.
The srcfile function produces an object of class
srcfile, which contains the name and directory of a source code
file, along with its timestamp, for use in source level debugging (not
yet implemented) and source echoing. The encoding of the file is
saved; see file for a discussion of encodings, and
iconvlist for a list of allowable encodings on your platform.
The srcfilecopy function produces an object of the descendant
class srcfilecopy, which saves the source lines in a character
vector. It copies the value of the isFile argument, to help
debuggers identify whether this text comes from a real file in the
file system.
The srcfilealias function produces an object of the descendant
class srcfilealias, which gives an alternate name to another
srcfile. This is produced by the parser when a #line directive
is used.
The getSrcLines function reads the specified lines from
srcfile.
The srcref function produces an object of class
srcref, which describes a range of characters in a
srcfile. The lloc value gives the following values:
c(first_line, first_byte, last_line, last_byte, first_column, last_column, first_parsed, last_parsed). Bytes (elements 2, 4) and columns (elements 5, 6) may be different due to multibyte characters. If only four values are given, the columns and bytes are assumed to match. Lines (elements 1, 3) and parsed lines ( elements 7, 8) may differ if a
#line directive is used in
code: the former will respect the directive, the latter will just
count lines. If only 4 or 6 elements are given, the parsed lines
will be assumed to match the lines. Methods are defined for print, summary, open,
and close for classes srcfile and srcfilecopy.
The open method opens its internal file connection at
a particular line; if it was already open, it will be repositioned
to that line.
Methods are defined for print, summary and
as.character for class srcref. The as.character
method will read the associated source file to obtain the text
corresponding to the reference. The exact behaviour depends on the
class of the source file. If the source file inherits from
class "srcfilecopy", the lines are taken from the saved copy
using the "parsed" line counts. If not, an attempt
is made to read the file, and the original line numbers of the
srcref record (i.e. elements 1 and 3) are used. If an error
occurs (e.g. the file no longer exists), text like
line:column ranges of the first and last
character. The summary method defaults to this type of
display.
Lists of srcref objects may be attached to expressions as the
"srcref" attribute. (The list of srcref objects should be the same
length as the expression.) By default, expressions are printed by
print.default using the associated srcref. To
see deparsed code instead, call print with argument
useSource = FALSE. If a srcref object
is printed with useSource = FALSE, the
.isOpen is intended for internal use: it checks whether the
connection associated with a srcfile object is open.
getSrcFilename for extracting information from a source reference.
