restorepoint 0.1.7 (2015-08-29)

2015-08-29
A few updates in the last two years. Here is just some excerpt
break.point: call restore point and immedatialy stop execution (suggested by @landroni)
display.restore.point: if set TRUE (can also be globally set TRUE with restore.point.options) the console cats a short message whenever restore.point is called inside a function. If a lot of your functions call restore point, this can yield a trace of your called functions. I find this feature useful when debugging shiny apps, because I have not yet figured out another way to get a sensible traceback to locate an error inside a shiny app.

Set default deep.copy = FALSE. Runs quicker. Furthermore, deep.copy is limited, e.g. it does not work correctly if an environment has pointers outside the stored arguments. Sometimes it is therefore preferable not to deep.copy environments.
Change in clone.environment: clone gets the same enclosing environment as the original environment. Before it was an empty environment. Improves restoring with deep.copy = TRUE

Changed order of arguments in restore.point, to.global is now second argument (thanks to Liviu Andronic for the suggestion)
Added a simple function assert to check code via assertions
Allow to set deep.copy globally as a restore.point.option

In the restorepoint console, the restored variables will be directly copied into the local environment in which expressions are evaluated. Before they were just copied into an enclosing environment. One effect: ls() shows now also the restored variables.

First version of restorepoint to be put on the CRAN. The project is hosted on git hub under: https://github.com/skranz/restorepoint
