Hello all, I am getting an R CMD check warning about S3 consistency for a formula method of a generic function that dispatches on the ellipsis argument. The formula method seems to function properly when called, and methods for other types tried do not trigger the warning. Below is an example generic function 'foo' and methods that will reproduce the issue, followed by the check warning message produced.
foo <- function(...) UseMethod("foo") foo.factor <- function(...) list(...) foo.formula <- function(...) list(...) foo.logical <- function(...) list(...) foo.matrix <- function(...) list(...) foo.numeric <- function(...) list(...) R CMD check warning: W checking S3 generic/method consistency (1.7s) foo: function(...) foo.formula: function(...) See section 'Generic functions and methods' in the 'Writing R Extensions' manual. I would appreciate any help in understanding and addressing this check warning. Thank you, Brian ***************************************************************** Brian J Smith, PhD Professor, Department of Biostatistics Director, Biostatistics Core, Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center The University of Iowa 145 North Riverside Drive, N311 CPHB Phone: 319-384-1587 Email: brian-j-sm...@uiowa.edu ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
