similar to: stopifnot() suggestion

My points: - The 'withCallingHandlers' construct that is used in current 'stopifnot' code has no effect. Without it, the warning message is the same. The overridden warning is not raised. The original warning stays. - Overriding call in error and warning to 'cl.i' doesn't always give better outcome. The original call may be "narrower" than 'cl.i'. I

A private reply by Martin made me realize that I was wrong about stopifnot(exprs=TRUE) . It actually works fine. I apologize. What I tried and was failed was stopifnot(exprs=T) . Error in exprs[[1]] : object of type 'symbol' is not subsettable The shortcut assert <- function(exprs) stopifnot(exprs = exprs) mentioned in "Warning" section of the documentation similarly fails

Even though I use aseert np.all(m1 == m2) when working with NumPy, I got accustomed to the "handy shortcut" that I can omit all() with R vectors and matrices. Then I got trapped with the thing I reported. On a second thought,

Another possible shortcut definition: assert <- function(exprs) do.call("stopifnot", list(exprs = substitute(exprs), local = parent.frame())) After thinking again, I propose to use ??? ? ? stop(simpleError(msg, call = if(p <- sys.parent()) sys.call(p))) - It seems that the call is the call of the frame where stopifnot(...) is evaluated. Because that is the correct context, I

I see in the archives that the attachment cannot pass. So, here is the code: 8<---- stopifnot_new <- function (...) { mc <- match.call() n <- length(mc)-1 if (n == 0L) return(invisible()) Dparse <- function(call, cutoff = 60L) { ch <- deparse(call, width.cutoff = cutoff) if (length(ch) > 1L) paste(ch[1L],

I am using a variant of stopifnot a lot. can I suggest that base R extends its functionality? I know how to do this for myself. this is a suggestion for beginners and students. I don't think it would break anything. first, I think it would be more useful if it had an optional character string, so users could write stopifnot( is.matrix(m), "m is not a matrix" ) this would

I think this is mostly a matter of taste, but I liked your version using eval()

While you are fiddling with stopifnot(), please consider changing the form of the error thrown so that it includes the caller's call. The change would be from something like stop( <<the message>> ) to stop(simpleError( <<the message>>, sys.call(-1))) For the following code f <- function(x, y) { stopifnot(x > y) x - y } g <- function(x,

Instead of if(!is.null(names(cl))) names(cl) <- NULL , just names(cl) <- NULL looks simpler and the memory usage and speed is not bad in my little experiment. -------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: [Rd] stopifnot To: r-devel at r-project.org Date: Saturday, 2 March, 2019, 3:28 PM [...] A revised patch (also with simpler 'cl'): --- stop.R 2019-02-27

I now realize that sys.call() doesn't expand '...' when the function is called with '...'. It just returns the call as is. If 'stopifnot' uses sys.call() instead of match.call() , the

switch(i, ...) extracts 'i'-th argument in '...'. It is like eval(as.name(paste0("..", i))) .

I think Herv?'s idea was just that if switch can evaluate arguments selectively, so can stopifnot(). But switch() is .Primitive, so does it from C. I think it is almost a no-brainer to implement a sequential stopifnot if dropping to C code is allowed. In R it gets trickier, but how about this: Stopifnot <- function(...) { n <- length(match.call()) - 1 for (i in 1:n) { nm

Hello. I am trying to write an S4 method for rbind(). I have a class of objects called 'mdm', and I want to be able to rbind() them to one another. I do not want the method for rbind() to coerce anything to an mdm object. I want rbind(x1,x2,x1,x2) to work as expected [ie rbind() should take any number of arguments]. This is what I have so far: setGeneric(".rbind_pair",

Why don't you use stopifnot( all(m1 == m2) ) ?

Hello, I stumbled over a problem: stopifnot(m1 == m2) It works with vector or matrix, but does not work for classes from Matrix package. In the source of stopifnot(), there is all(m1 == m2) that would just work, but there is also is.logical(m1 == m2) that id FALSE. Would it be possible if Matrix package redefined stopifnot() ? (If there is a bug tracking database for package Matrix, I would

Hi, It's surprising that stopifnot() keeps evaluating its arguments after it reaches the first one that is not TRUE: > stopifnot(3 == 5, as.integer(2^32), a <- 12) Error: 3 == 5 is not TRUE In addition: Warning message: In stopifnot(3 == 5, as.integer(2^32), a <- 12) : NAs introduced by coercion to integer range > a [1] 12 The details section in its man
