Hi, I wonder if the following (apparent) inconsistency is a bug or feature. Since scalars are simply vectors of length one I would think that a and a:a produce the same result. For example, > identical(4.01,4.01:4.01) [1] TRUE However, identical(4,4:4) [1] FALSE and > identical(4.0,4.0:4.0) [1] FALSE A closer look reveals that the colon operator produces objects

While on the topic of Rd macro arguments, it seems that if a multiline argument is supplied, the lines after the first are silently ignored: f <- tempfile() mac6 <- "\\newcommand{\\mac6}{mac6: #1}" cat(mac6, "\\mac6{2*3 2+2 sin(pi) }\n", file = f) rd <- tools::parse_Rd(f) > rd mac6: 2*3 --- Georgi Boshnakov -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Kalibera

After library(quantreg), ls("package:quantreg") will list all the names you currently export. So cat(ls("package:quantreg"), sep = ", ") will print the list in a form suitable for including

Hi, The result of as,character() on 'srcref' objects doesn't have the closing ')' in some cases involving 'quote': > e4 <- quote({2+2}) > class(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "srcref" > as.character(attr(e4, "wholeSrcref")) [1] "e4 <- quote({2+2}" As a result printing the object also lacks it and gives an

Hi, The R input/output after the following paragraph is from a session with version.string R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-11-23 r39958). The last element, x$c, of x has no value and after the assignment of x to the formals of f, x$c does not become a formal argument of f. The second assignment does the job. It seems that x$c actually becomes the body of f after the first assignment. There is no

> ... reports that the fortran names of all the registered fortran functions are ?undocumented objects?... Those symbols should not be exported. In quantreg v5.33, NAMESPACE has 'exportPattern(".")'. Maybe it is a good time to remove that and export explicitly the symbols that are meant for export. Georgi Boshnakov ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Fri, 28

Bug or feature? I get the following error from parse_Rd() when a user Rd macro (including system ones) is invoked with empty argument {}, eg \mymacro{}: Error in tools::parse_Rd(fn) : Value of SET_STRING_ELT() must be a 'CHARSXP' not a 'NULL' A full example is further below with the system macro \CRANpkg{}. In this example it doesn't make sense to use empty argument but

Is it possible to consider adding .emacs.desktop and .emacs.desktop.lock to files ignored by R CMD build?

Recent changes in R-devel seem to change the HTML rendering of text returned by Rd macros, in that now empty lines do not cause paragraphs to end (the empty lines are kept but <p> tags are not set). As a result, multiple paragraphs are output as a single one. A complete example Rd file is at: https://github.com/GeoBosh/reprexes/blob/master/disappearingParagraphs/a.Rd rendered (2018-10-28)

R's checks seem to be failing to notice a redundant '...' argument described in the documentation of a function. Consider a function: fun_3 <- function(arg1, arg2, arg3) { "I am fun_3" } If its documentation describes an argument, say 'dummy', R check reports something like: * checking Rd \usage sections ... WARNING Documented arguments not in \usage in

I cloned therneau/survival and the installation failed since there is no definition for exported function survfit(). A file seems to be missing - there is survfit0() and survfit0.R but, compared to CRAN, no survfit.R.

Hi. The description of na.contiguous says: "Find the longest consecutive stretch of non-missing values in a time series object. (In the event of a tie, the first such stretch.)" But this seems not to be the case if one of the tied longest stretches is at the start of the sequence/series. In the following example, there are three stretches of length 3, so I expect the result

I'm sorry Martin, but I don't understand your point here. I'm assuming that you want the (S3) matrix, x, to be converted to an (S4) Matrix. However, this is not a

I encountered this issue a couple of months ago and resolved it by installing Rtools in the default directory C:\Rtools, see below for details. I didn't have time to prepare a proper error report and in fact suspected that I may be messing up something. I tracked down the error by installing from the command line, rather than with install.packages(). On Windows I keep multiple versions of

Hi, Function Null from package MASS seems to return a matrix with zero columns and the expected number of rows when the null space of the argument contains only the zero vector, e.g. > library(MASS) > diag(nrow=3) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0 0 [2,] 0 1 0 [3,] 0 0 1 > Null(diag(nrow=3)) [1,] [2,] [3,] But the documentation of Null seems to imply that

Windows XP. I have just updated to R 2.11.0 and then run update.packages. In the series of updates, a few will succeed, then I get a failure like package 'mvtnorm' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'party' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'PBSmodelling' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in normalizePath(path) :

Thanks for the report, I am testing a patch that will allow multi-line arguments to user macros.
