I think Hervé's idea was just that if switch can evaluate arguments selectively, so can stopifnot(). But switch() is .Primitive, so does it from C.
I think it is almost a no-brainer to implement a sequential stopifnot if dropping to C code is allowed. In R it gets trickier, but how about this: Stopifnot <- function(...) { n <- length(match.call()) - 1 for (i in 1:n) { nm <- as.name(paste0("..",i)) if (!eval(nm)) stop("not all true") } } Stopifnot(2+2==4) Stopifnot(2+2==5, print("Hey!!!") == "Hey!!!") Stopifnot(2+2==4, print("Hey!!!") == "Hey!!!") Stopifnot(T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,T,F,T) > On 15 May 2017, at 15:37 , Martin Maechler <maech...@stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: > > I'm still curious about Hervé's idea on using switch() for the > issue. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
