srcpkgs (version 0.2)

hack_r_loaders: instruments the R loaders to make them aware of source packages

Description

hacks library() and loadNamespace() using the base R tracer function trace(). library(pkg) will basically call pkg_load(pkg) if the source package pkg is managed by srcpkgs

Usage

hack_r_loaders()

Value

no return value, called for side-effects

Package startup

At package startup (actually .OnAttach()), hack_r_loaders() will be automatically called to hack the R loaders, UNLESS this is inhibited via the option srcpkgs.inhibit_r_loaders_hack or the environment variable SRCPKGS.INHIBIT_R_LOADERS_HACK. You may set any value like TRUE, "TRUE", 1 or "1".

Details

N.B: usually you do not need to call that function explicitly. The function is reentrant.
