similar to: potential setClass bug (with user-defined environment)

i think these two code snippets exhibit a bug. they are identical but for the inclusion of an initial line in snippet [2] [1] setMethod("Math", signature(x = "numeric"), function(x) "Works") getGeneric("sqrt")(4) [2] getGeneric("sqrt")(4) setMethod("Math", signature(x = "numeric"), function(x) "Works")

please see the code below. foo2 fails to dispatch correctly, but foo does fine. i have tried 'cacheMetaData(1)' and a number of different variants of 'cacheGenericsMetaData', on the possibility there is a caching issue. but i still can't sort it out. also one general question: does it really matter what's in the body of the function definition in a

the code below has me confused: setClassUnion("index", c("numeric", "character", "logical")) extends("numeric") # i don't see the class union library(Matrix) extends("numeric") # now i see the class union i am aware that the "Matrix" package separately defines the "index" class union. is it the case that

self-sanity check prior to filing a bug report: attempted replacement that generates an error leaves a '*tmp*' variable in the global environment. test <- 1:10 test[2:4] <- expression(e) ls() i've read section 3.4.4 of the "R Language Definition" which discusses the mechanism for replacement, and it is not clear to me whether this was intended, but i suspect

Hello. This question concerns the Methods package. I have created a new class and am trying to set a method for it for S4 group generic "Summary". I have run into some signature problems. An example: > setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="character")) [1] "track" > setGeneric("max", group="Summary")

Dear all, I just found that some of the packages are not able to load any more, after I installed R2.0.1 in my Mac, it even affects my old R1.8 installs. It gives me errors when I load packages that contains "myEnv" settings. such as: RMySQL, DBI, Rggobi, etc. But others that does not require "myENV" is all right, like tcltk that only calls the c functions. The errors

Dear all, I'd appreciate any help to rectify what must be a misconception of mine how environments work: ########################## myEnv <- new.env() myEnv$a.env <- 1 myEnv$symbols.env <- "a.env" a.global <- 2 symbols.global <- "a.global" myFun <- function(symbols){do.call("print", lapply(symbols, FUN=as.name))} do.call("myFun",

On the help page "DateTimeClasses {base}" it says: "One can add or subtract a number of seconds or a difftime object from a date-time object, but not add two date-time objects." However, > x<-Sys.time(); y<-Sys.time()+3600 > diff<-y-x > x; y; diff [1] "2005-11-23 19:58:20 GMT" [1] "2005-11-23 20:58:20 GMT" Time difference of 1 hours

Dear All, In R 3.6.3 (and earlier), method dispatch used to work for methods stored in local environments that are attached to the search path. For example: myfun <- function(y) { out <- list(y=y) class(out) <- "myclass" return(out) } print.myclass <- function(x, ...) print(formatC(x$y, format="f", digits=5)) myfun(1:4) # prints: [1]

Dear Developers, A lot has been changed in the R12.0 with respect to behavior of "environment" subclasses. Many thanks for that. One small irregularity, though; new.env does not allow the parent to be from S4 subclass. > setClass("myenv", contains="environment") [1] "myenv" > new.env(parent=new("myenv")) Error in new.env(parent =

Hi all, I ran into a strange error: I am trying to create a package skeleton for a new source package from within a function. Objects that are created in this function are to be included in my package, but for some reason, I get an error message saying that these objects cannot be found. Here is the code: ###### myfun <- function(pkgName,x){ myenv <- new.env() apply(x, 1,

Hi I used write() the other day to save some results. It seems that write() does not record the full precision of the objects being written: > write(pi,file="~/f",ncolumns=1) > pi.saved <- scan("~/f") Read 1 item > dput(pi) 3.14159265358979 > dput(pi.saved) 3.141593 > pi-pi.saved [1] -3.464102e-07 > This difficulty was particularly difficult to

Hi I thought I'd pass one of my package through R CMD check with R-2.4.0 with the following result (it's clean under R-2.3.1): [snip] > > # histogram of the fourth power: > hist(out^4, col="gray") *** caught bus error *** address 0x12, cause 'invalid alignment' Traceback: 1: sort(x, partial = c(half, half + 1)) 2: sum(sort(x, partial = c(half, half +

I have observed the following behavior, wondering if it is a bug before I submit a report. I am using the plot function with call: plot(X, Y, col="red", . . . ) where X is an object that inherits from classes 'dates' and 'times' (created with the 'dates' function from package 'chron') and y is a numeric vector. The color red is applied to the

I am having some trouble creating a hierarchy of virtual classes (akin to the class structure in the 'Matrix' package). I think they arise from my not understanding the best way to specify virtual subclasses of a virtual class. please see questions below code. setClass("mom") setClass("kid1", representation("mom", "VIRTUAL"))

I am having a bit of a struggle deciding when to use attributes with S4 objects. Clearly the 'class' attribute will always be present. But it is not clear to me whether the architects of the methods package intend that other attributes, such as 'names', will still be used when the S4 implementation is complete. I notice that, when you create a formal object from an

i believe the following is true but would appreciate confirmation that it is intended behavior and will continue: if a default argument is employed in the definition of a generic function, and the generic is called with the argument in question (call it 'ARG') missing, then the method for signature (..., ARG = "missing", ...) will be called by 'standardGeneric'

'methods' package feature request / discussion starter: perhaps a call to 'validObject' should occur at part of any slot replacement operation (and the operation not be carried out if it would invalidate the object)? this may prevent the need for prophylactic 'validObject' calls in other user-defined functions. in the example below, the slot assignment occurs
