Printing a tibble: Tracking control flow

What happens when a tibble is printed? This vignette shows the actual control flow, powered by the debugme package. See vignette("printing") for a detailed description of the control and data flows.

To activate debugging, we need to set an environment variable before loading the pillar package. As a result, debug strings in pillar’s code are replaced with calls to a logging function.

By default, debugme also shows timestamps. This is disabled to keep the output stable.

Sys.setenv(DEBUGME = "!!!!pillar")
Sys.setenv(DEBUGME_SHOW_TIMESTAMP = "no")
