Wrap fn, so it will save arguments on failure.

DebugFnW(saveDest, fn)

Arguments

saveDest

where to write captured state (determined by type): NULL random temp file, character temp file, name globalenv() variable, and function triggers callback.

fn

function to call

Value

wrapped function that saves state on error.
