names_defined: Symbols Defined by an Expression

Symbols Defined by an Expression

Description

This function returns a character vector of the symbols defined by an expression.

Usage

names_defined(x, ...)

Arguments

x	A language object, ASTNode object, or SymbolSets object.
...	Further arguments to methods.

Details

If you need both the symbols defined and the symbols used by an expression, it is more efficient to first call get_symbols() on the expression and then call names_defined() and names_used() on the result.

Value

A character vector.

See Also

names_used(), get_symbols(), CodeDepends::getInputs()

Examples

expr = quote(x = x + y)
names_defined(expr)

# If defined symbols and used symbols are both needed:
symbols = get_symbols(expr)
names_defined(symbols)
names_used(symbols)
