Are you able to create a reproducible example, somehow?

The methods package ?cbind2 includes the instruction to use via methods:::bind_activation(TRUE). This changes the default definition of cbind globally, disrupting proper evaluation in packages not using cbind2. Is cbind2 a hold-over from a time when ... could not be used for dispatch? What is a safe way for a package to use cbind2? This came up in the context of complex package dependencies

I've implemented the proposed changes in R-devel. Minimally tested, so please try it. It should delegate to r/cbind2 when there is at least one S4 argument and S3 dispatch fails (so you'll probably want to add an S3 method for your class to introduce a conflict, otherwise it will dispatch to cbind.data.frame if one of the args is a data.frame). There may no longer be a need for cBind() and

sorry - I just got irritated by my different R-versions. The behaviour I described in the previous mail was discovered using R 3.1.2 without bind_activation(TRUE). In r67773 all calls are delegated to r/cbind.matrix and not r/cbind2. As a workaround I have now implemented an S3 method for my S4 class which correctly dispatches for both versions (3.1.2 and r67699+) - see also the commit for the h5

Hi Michael, I've tested your change in r67699 (using r67773) and the function now correctly dispatches to r/cbind2 within the R-session without bind_activation(TRUE). However, running unit tests using R CMD check I figured out that the same function call delegates to r/cbind.matrix (function uses S4 class as first- and matrix as second argument). Is this a bug and/or how can I get function

As some of you may have seen / heard in the past, it is not possible to make cbind() and rbind() into proper S4 generic functions, since their first formal argument is '...'. [ BTW: S3-methods for these of course only dispatch on the first argument which is also not really satisfactory in the context of many possible matrix classes.] For this reason, after quite some discussion on

Dear List, I'm struggling with the signature writing cbind/rbind functions for a S4 class. First of all, I'm very happy that it is now possible to dispatch on ... I follow the example for "paste" in ?dotMethods, which works as far as this: ### start example setClass ("cbtest", representation = representation (data = "data.frame"),

Dear all, As far as I understand, the number of arguments in methods:::cbind is limited by the "self recursive" construction of the function which generates nested loops. A workaround could be to use the internal cbind function on blocks of non S4 objects. The limitation would then be reduced to the number of consecutive S4 objects. ##### R code ##### dfr <- data.frame(matrix(0,

This was originally a bug report about Matrix, https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=294&aid=6325&group_id=61 but the bug is rather a "design" bug in R, or a limitation. This e-mail is a report of the status quo as I see it, and call for comments, sugguests, help/hints for workarounds, or even a suggestion for a programming task helping R core to amend

In a newly downloaded version (today) of R-2-4-0alpha, with all packages from CRAN also installed today, I get: > library(Matrix) Erro en loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source = keep.source) : in 'Matrix' methods specified for export, but none defined: BIC, anova, coef, confint, deviance, fitted, fixef, formula, head, lmer, logLik, mcmcsamp, plot,

Dear list, It seems that S4 methods defined for an S3 'base' generic are not used in 'base' functions. This can be problematic when 'base' functions start with something like 'as.matrix'. ### START R code setClass("classA", contains = "matrix", representation(realData = "numeric")) setMethod("as.matrix",

Hi, I think this is a bug (even though I can't find documentation explicitly saying that it should work). Basically, Rf_PrintValue(obj) fails when 'obj' is an S4 object that should be printed using show() rather than print(). From the error message I'm guessing that the need to use show is detected correctly but then show is not found. "cbind2" in the code below is just

>From a small thread over at the 'R-package-devel' mailing list, this now goes to the R-devel mailing list (CC'ing the original R-package-devel very exceptionally). Note that I, as maintainer("Matrix") had introduced rBind() and cBind() to be used for Matrix package matrices as substitute for rbind() and cbind() because back then it was not reasonably possible to

Dear list, It seems that a package (pkgB) using another package (pkgA) with S4 generics formed by taking existing functions (for example 'plot') must not import the existing functions ('plot') in its namespace to avoid the warning "replacing previous import: plot". Suppose we use the simple 'import' directive in the name space of pkgB. pkgA and pkgB files would

Hi, I have sparse (tridiagonal) matrices, and I use the Matrix package for handling them. For certain computations, I need to either set the first row to zero, or double the last row. I find that neither operation preserves sparsity, eg > m <- Diagonal(5) > m 5 x 5 diagonal matrix of class "ddiMatrix" [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 1 . . . . [2,] . 1

A general goal for the next version of R is to make S4 and S3 play better together. As mentioned in a previous thread, one limitation has been that S3 generic functions, specifically the UseMethod() call, did not make use of S4 inheritance when dispatching on general S4 objects. This has been fixed in a version committed today (updated to rev 52267). The code change is not large, but it
