instrumentr

Overview

instrumentr is an instrumentation framework for R that helps you address common dynamic analysis problems. It exposes hooks for the following program execution events :

  • Application
    • Load
    • Unload
    • Attach
    • Detach
  • Package
    • Load
    • Unload
    • Attach
    • Detach
  • Function
    • Attach
    • Detach
  • Call
    • Entry
    • Exit

These hooks invoke user defined callbacks that receive the state of the running program in the form of model objects. Model object properties can be queried using a comprehensive API at both R and C++ level.
