[R] Finding the first value without warning in a loop

[Andreas Wittmann]

Dear R useRs,

with the following piece of code i try to find the first value which can 
be calculated without warnings

`test` <- function(a)
{
 repeat
 {
   ## hide warnings
   suppressWarnings(log(a))

   if (exists("last.warning", envir = .GlobalEnv))
   {
     a <- a + 0.1
     ## clear existing warnings
     rm("last.warning", envir = .GlobalEnv)
   }

 if(a > 5 || !exists("last.warning", envir = .GlobalEnv))
   break
 }

 return(a)
}

if i run this with test(-3), i would expect a=0 as return value.
Is it also possible to hide warnings during my function, i guess i use
suppressWarnings in a wrong way here?

Thanks and best regards

Andreas
