Subject: [Rd] Avoid entering {} evaluation in debugger
Message-ID: <87fvy1ms8l.fsf@gmail.com>



Hi, 
   
   f1 <- function(){
       browser()
       print("aaa")
   }
   
   f2 <- function(){
       a <- 12
       eval(envir = parent.frame(),
            bquote({
           b <- .(a)
       }))
   }
   

Now do, 

 f1()

and enter n RET  and then {1+2}:

Browse[2]> {1 + 2}
debug at #1: 1 + 2
Browse[3]>  


{} is now being debugged. This was never bothering me till I got into
unexpected behavior with functions that evaluate in the current
environment. 

For example calling f2() starts debugging b <- 12:

Browse[2]> f2()
debug: b <- 12
Browse[4]> 

Is there some sort of dont-debug-me flag that I can set in f2 to avoid
this behavior?

Thanks, 
    Vitalie
