Greetings -
Does CRAN or someone similar make a splint / lint-like syntax checker
for R? I realize that both ESS and the debug package and similar tools
have debugging and error analysis features, but those appear to require
running the code through the R buffer. I'd like something that did basic
syntax and object-name verification for code that was to run in batch,
as a precursor to doing trial runs. Apologies if this already exists and
I missed it, but nothing showed up on Google, CRAN, or r-help that I
could find.
The package check code does a lot of this. It makes use of the
codetools package for some of the checks.
I don't know if anyone has packaged up the tests to work on a script
outside of a package; it seems like it would be easier to turn your
scripts into a package and turn off the tests you don't want.
