Dear List, I'm trying to figure out some best practice way with respect to the naming conventions when building own packages.
I'd like to minimize the risk of choosing function names that might interfere with those of other packages (both available ones and those yet to come). I came up with following alternatives 1. Prefixing the actual names (e.g. myPkgfoo() instead of foo()): pretty verbose 2. Emulating a package namespace while developing and explicitly using myPkg::foo() in all scripts: IMHO the best way, but apparently not possible as I learned. 3. Carefully choosing which functions to export. Yet, I'm not sure I completely understand the implications of exported functions. Does this imply that not exported functions cannot interfere with functions in other namespaces? I'd be great to hear some recommendations on this one! Thanks a lot, Janko ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
