Really, we have three levels of behavior related to dispatch: not loaded, loaded and attached. The loaded state is the most fragile - it does change some behavior (like the one below) but not others (when the package defines a new version of a generic). So it is true that the dispatch is the most problematic, in some sense you'd want it to be local to the package code when the package is not

A package should probably never register a S3 method unless it owns either the generic or the class. Here `formula.tools` owns neither. Instead of registering the method, it should export it like a regular function. This way S3 dispatch is based on lexical scoping rather than session-wide side effect.

Lionel, Thanks for your response. I understand that method overriding can be a serious issue, but as you say, this is not something that the user can act upon. Yet the message lands at the user?s feet. In my case, the messages are cluttering my package vignettes, and may or may not represent what users see if they themselves run the vignette code, depending on what version of ggplot2, etc. they

I've converted the bdsmatrix package (used by coxme) to the newer style of S4, and uploaded it. It is in the pkg directory of survival, on r-forge. I'm stuck on something that is almost certainly a namespace issue. I've borrowed liberally from Matrix (a big help) and read the documentation, and just upgraded to 2.8.1 - but still stuck. All the tests work when I run them "by

Dear Russ, I had the same problem in my vignettes and setting both message and warning to FALSE seems to remove all unwanted output: ```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} library("afex") library("ggplot2") library("cowplot") theme_set(theme_grey()) ``` Result: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/afex/vignettes/afex_plot_introduction.html Best, Henrik Am Di.,

R-exts.pdf discribes S3method a little bit. But I want to understand more on how it is called, implemented and when to use it. I don't find it in an R session. But I see S3method() in some NAMESPACE files. > S3method Error: object 'S3method' not found > ?S3method No documentation for 'S3method' in specified packages and libraries: you could try '??S3method' I

Hi, from the man page ?methods, I expected to be able to build pairs (class,package) for a given S3 method, e.g., print, using attr(methods(print), 'info'). However all the methods, except the ones defined in base or S4 methods, get the 'from' value "registered S3method for print", instead of the actual package name (see below for the first rows). Is this normal

Dear R-devel, Consider the following clip (in R version 3.6.0, Windows): > requireNamespace("ggplot2", quietly = TRUE) Registered S3 methods overwritten by 'ggplot2': method from [.quosures rlang c.quosures rlang print.quosures rlang It seems to me that if one specifies 'quietly = TRUE', then messages about S3 method

I am writing my first R package, and I have been getting the following series of errors when I run R CMD check: * checking S3 generic/method consistency ...

I am cleaning up the rms package to not export functions not to be called directly by users. rms uses generic functions defined in other packages. For example there is a latex method in the Hmisc package, and rms has a latex method for objects of class "anova.rms" so there are anova.rms and latex.anova.rms functions in rms. I use:

Hello, I try to set up namespaces for packages. It is fine for several of them, except one whose compilation fails (under Windows XP & R 2.0.0): ---------- Making package svViews ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 21 Execution halted make[2]: *** [nmspace] Error 1 make[1]: ***

[Env: R 2.11.1, Win Xp, using Eclipse/StatET] In a package I'm working on, I want to create as.matrix() and as.array() methods for a particular kind of object (log odds ratios). These are returned in a loddsratio object as the $coefficients component, a vector, but really reflect an underlying (R-1)x(C-1)xstrata array, whose attributes are contained in other components. I define coef,

Dear all, I have defined a generic as.ff(x, ...) and a method as.ff.function(x, ...) which converts a standard R function x into a chunked version operating on large ff objects. Everything works fine, but when registering S3method("as.ff",function) in NAMESPACE, the installation fails with some kind of parsing error: adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file

I posted on this topic to r-help, but never got a sufficient answer, so I'm reposting here.

Hi In NEWS, it says R CMD check now tests that the package can be loaded, and that the package and namespace (if there is one) can each be loaded in startup code (before the standard packages are loaded). For package "onion", I think I have followed all of sections 1.6.1 - 1.6.6 of R-exts, and it passes R CMD check for R-2.3.1. However, using R version 2.4.0 Under

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]

I have updated the rms package to extensively use NAMESPACE. I cannot get certain S3 methods to dispatch. For example I have in NAMESPACE S3method(anova, rms) S3method(latex, anova.rms) anova.rms produces an object of class "anova.rms" and there is a latex.anova.rms function in rms. But when I do latex(anova(fit)) I get an invocation of latex.default. I have tried using
