[Rd] methods package: A _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2_=true error
**Maybe this bug needs to be understood further before applying the
patch because patch is most likely also wrong**
Because, from just looking at the expressions, I think neither the R
3.6.0 version:
omittedSig <- omittedSig && (signature[omittedSig] !=
"missing")
nor the patched version (I proposed):
omittedSig <- omittedSig & (signature[omittedSig] != "missing")
can be correct. For a starter, 'omittedSig' is a logical vector. We
see that 'omittedSig' is used to subset 'signature'. In other
words,
the length of 'signature[omittedSig]' and hence the length of
'(signature[omittedSig] != "missing")' will equal
sum(omittedSig),
i.e. the length will be in {0,1,...,length(omittedSig)}.
The R 3.6.0 version with '&&' is not correct because
'&&' requires
length(omittedSig) == 1L and sum(omittedSig) == 1L, which is unlikely
to be the original intention.
The patched version with '&' is most likely not correct either
because
'LHS & RHS' assume length(LHS) == length(RHS), unless it relies on
the
auto-expansion of either vector. So, for the '&' version to be
correct, it basically requires that length(omittedSig) = length(LHS) length(RHS)
= sum(omittedSig), which also sounds unlikely to be the
original intention.
Disclaimer: Please note that I have not at all studied the rest of the
function, so the above is just based on that single line plus
debugging that 'omittedSig' is a logical vector.
Martin, I don't have the time to dive into this further. Though I did
try to see if it happened when one of oligo's dependencies were
loaded, but that was not the case. It kicks in when oligo is loaded.
FYI, I can also replicate your non-replicatation on another R 3.6.0
version. I'll see if I can narrow down what's different, e.g.
comparing sessionInfo():s, etc. However, I want to reply with
findings above asap due to the R 3.6.1 release and you might roll back
the patch (since it might introduce other bugs as Peter mentioned).

Argh! Yes you are right, the "fix" doesn't. And I fell into the same "hey it's a vector so && has to be wrong"-trap. So this has to be reverted to something that has at least failed unconspicuously for a decade.... Will do. Thanks to Martin for remaining suspicious! [This code was originally from 2009, by John Chambers. It is not too likely that he'll remember what the intention actually was... The logic does escape me: An omitted signature is only an omitted signature if the signature of the omitted signature is not "missing"?

Ah, not quite: The logic is that if something has omittedSig and "missing" is not the signature, those signatures get _set_ to missing. There's just a bit of tap-dancing around to find exactly which they are so that there can be a message about changing them. -pd> On 25 Jun 2019, at 09:44 , peter dalgaard <pdalgd at gmail.com> wrote: > > Argh!

[Rd] methods package: A _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2_=true error
Henrik,
If a minimal reprex is hard to construct, could you perhaps instrument your
version of R to include a browser() call at the start of the
else if(!all(signature[omittedSig] == "missing")) {
branch, run the code that triggers the issue for you (and must hit that branch)
and tell us what the "signature" and "omittedSig" objects
look like at that point?
Bonus points for figuring out why it is needed to use numerical indexing in
omittedSig <- seq_along(omittedSig)[omittedSig]
signature[omittedSig] <- "missing" # logical index will
extend signature!
(I'm sure there is a valid reason, I just don't get it...)
