Hello r-devel, could someone share the tools and practices they use to
debug the core R sources in Windows?
For instance, I would like to set a breakpoint in `gl_loadhistory` and
troubleshoot from there.
You're talking about debugging the C code rather than the R code, I think.
These days I mostly avoid debugging in Windows, but when I have to do
it, I use gdb. There used to be a front end for it (Insight) that
worked in Windows, but I don't think it works with our current gdb
build. Google names lots of other front ends, but I haven't tried any
of them in Windows.
The other choice is the old fashioned method: add lots of Rprintf()
statements to the source and recompile.
