Dear R-devel,I am now at a debugging phase, and would like to inspect the (individual) values in an arbitrary R vector. It should be simple, but after hours of reading I am simply unable to find the right information. A possible C code is: ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± # include<R.h> # include<Rinternals.h> # include<R_ext/Rdynload.h> SEXP foo(SEXP x) // where x is a vector passed by an R function double *px; int i; px = REAL(x); for (i = 0; i< length(x); i++) { printf("%d\n", px[i]); // not good } } ±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±± That doesn't do the trick, because it only prints the pointer itself. What I'd like to do is to inspect is the actual vector value in the position i, that the pointer px[i] points to. I read about PrintVector() in Rinternals.h, but that prints the whole R vector, while for debugging purposes I need to inspect individual values, one at at time.
You seeing the value, not a pointer, but you are using an integer format to display a real. You need the %f or related format.
I would also recommend using Rprintf() rather than printf(). The latter will only work on some platforms, while Rprintf() should work everywhere.
