Dear list: I am looking for a good way to create an S4 class that would extend numeric, but would allow NULL instead of data as well. As far as I can see there is no way at the moment to do that, but please correct me if I am wrong. The best solution I came up with so far was the following (it also indicates a problem of using setClassUnion with numeric as one of the classes): I define a class

I'm using R 1.8.1 (Win32, Linux) and have some difficulties using validation functions for S4 classes. The problem is if I specify a validation function with setValidity("myclass", validate.myclass) object validation is only performed when I create an instance using new("myclass"), or when I explicitly call validObject(x) where x is of class "myclass", of

Hi all, I came across an issue in using the Matrix package which made it that I could only subset Matrices using the numeric class, but could not using integers. Steps to reproduce the problem: library(Matrix) # this class has *nothing* to do with Matrix setClass("MyClass", representation(myvalue = "numeric"), prototype(myvalue = NA_real_)) # this class also has

Hello everyone, I'm working on a package using S4 classes and methods and I ran into the following "problem" when I tried to create an "apply" method for objects of one of my new classes. I've found a way around the problem but I wonder if I did not paint myself into the corner. I'd like your opinion about that. So I have an object "myObj" of class

I am porting llvm-gcc frontend. We have ported GCC4.2 for our target. So I move *.h *.md and *.c to llvm-gcc.  I do not implement any LLVM MACRO, and use default action of llvm-gcc.  I get a new llvm-gcc for our target. But I get a bug. /******************************/ //#include <stdio.h> union MYunion {   unsigned char uc ;   int ui; } myunion; void vfu1(union MYunion  u) {     u.ui =

Hi 任坤, > void vfu1(union MYunion u) { > u.ui = 99; > } here u is passed by copy, so vfu1 has no externally visible effect. I think you meant: union MYunion *u > define void @vfu1(%struct.MYunion* byval align 4 %u) nounwind { Here "byval" means that a pointer to a temporary copy of u is being passed, not u itself. Thus any writes to the %u parameter have no effect

Dear colleagues, there is a behaviour with S4 (virtual) classes that I find very hard to understand: Depending on the position of setAs(), the tree of inheritance changes. This is my baseline example that defines the classes "grandma", "mother", "daughter" and a virtual class "mr_x". For a new instance if "daughter", "mr_x" is betweeen

I do lots of analyses on large microarray data sets so memory use and speed and both important issues for me. I have been trying to estimate the overheads associated with using formal S4 data objects instead of ordinary lists for large data objects. In some simple experiments (using R 1.7.1 in Windows 2000) with large but simple objects it seems that giving a data object a formal class

Hi! Here a simple example. setClass("myclass" ,representation(info="character") ,contains="matrix" ) rownames(dd)<-c("a","b") tt<-new("myclass",dd) #the source of pain. as(tt,"matrix")<-matrix(1,3,3) Error: length of dimnames [1] not equal to array extent Is there a different way to do what I would like to do (I

Dear listmembers, I would like to define a class with a slot that takes either an object of class aov or NULL. I have been reading "S4 Classes in 15 pages more or less" and "Lecture: S4 classes and methods" #First I tried with list and NULL setClass(listOrNULL") setIs("list", "listOrNULL") setIs("NULL", "listOrNULL") #doesn't

Hi, Short story ----------- setClassUnion("ArrayLike", "array") showClass("ArrayLike") # no slot setClass("MyArrayLikeConcreteSubclass", contains="ArrayLike", representation(stuff="ANY") ) showClass("MyArrayLikeConcreteSubclass") # 2 slots!! That doesn't seem right. Long story ----------

Dear all, Since my package is based on S4 classes, I would like to know how to add a slot to an existing S4 class without breaking the code of users of my package. Assume the following S4 class: setClass("MyClass", representation(name = "character", type = "character", data = "data.frame" ), prototype(name =

Dear all, I have a question regarding setIs and method dispatch in S4 classes: Consider the following example: ##################################################### ## A02 "contains" A01 by setIs: setClass("A01", representation(a="numeric",b="numeric")) setClass("A02", representation(a="numeric",d="numeric"))

Dear all, I have created a new S4 class with name "MyClass". Please see below for it's definition. Now I want to create a method for the show() function for this class. In defining this method, what I want is, once user would like see an object of this class some values will be displayed. Then R will ask for **press Enter**. Once user presses enter then, remaining values will be

Hi, I'm developing in S4 and I wanted to see the methods for a specific class using showMethods but I didn't succed. Can someone help ? See the example below. setClass("myclass", representation( name ="character" ) ) setGeneric("mymeth", function(obj, ...){ standardGeneric("mymeth") } ) setMethod("mymeth",

Hi R-helper! I have problem with setMethods for "[". Here is example : setClass("myClass", representation(ID.r = "numeric", ID.c = "character", DAT = "matrix")) to.myClass <- function(ID.r, ID.c, DAT) {     out <- new("myClass", ID.r = ID.r, ID.c = ID.c, DAT = DAT)     return(out)       }       setMethod("[",
