Is the following a bug?
Rterm -vanilla
> foo <- function(x, dim=dim(x)) { str(dim) }
> foo(1:2)
Error in str(dim) :
promise already under evaluation: recursive default argument
reference or earlier problems?
> foo(x=1:2)
Error in str(dim) :
promise already under evaluation: recursive default argument
reference or earlier problems?
But, this works:
> foo <- function(x, dim2=dim(x)) { str(dim2) }
> foo(1:2)
NULL
> foo <- function(x, dim=base::dim(x)) { str(dim) }
> foo(1:2)
NULL
> sessionInfo()
