Re: [Rd] relist, an inverse operator to unlist

[Andrew Clausen]

Hi all,

For reasons I can't explain, the code I posted worked in my session, but didn't
work when I started a fresh one.  standardGeneric() seems to get confused
by defaults for missing arguments.  It looks for a "missing" method with
this code:

        relist <- function(flesh, skeleton=attr(flesh, "skeleton"))
        {
                standardGeneric("relist")
        }

I uploaded yet another new version that adds a wrapper that seems to
resolve standardGeneric()'s confusion like this:

        relist <- function(flesh, skeleton=attr(flesh, "skeleton"))
        {
                # need a wrapper, since standardGeneric gets confused by
                # default arguments.
                f <- function(flesh, skeleton) standardGeneric("relist")

                f(flesh, skeleton)
        }

Cheers,
Andrew
