Hi,
Any idea why S4 doesn't allow slots of type double?
setClass(A, representation(a=double))
Error in makePrototypeFromClassDef(properties, ClassDef, immediate, where) :
in making the prototype for class A elements of the prototype failed to
match the corresponding slot class: a
Dear all,
what is the proper way to make the assignment operator generic and define
methods depending on the class of the assigned value?
Best regards

P.S. I vaguely remember that this was possible in S+. In R I tried to no avail:

I think the question is not about setReplaceMethod, here is the idea:
## setReplaceMethod-like situation:
names(x) - c(a,b)
## the question of interest
class(x)
[1] myClass
y - x ## this to run a user-defined clone method for class 'myClass'
Why is this important - if x contains data that

So far the package I m writing has avoided using anything from S4 and the
implications of touching S4 are not clear to me. The package aims on providing
an alternative to 'atomic' data stored in ram, i.e. large atomic data stored on

Type (as in storage type and double is a storage type) has nothing
to do with classes. You cannot create slots for types, only for classes.

Check out the g.data package in case that's what you are looking for. It
uses promises until the data is actually used.

Thank you Brian,
setReplaceMethod() is just syntactic sugar for setting an S4 method on a
replacement function (read the function definition to see so). You can
set S3 replacement methods, and the S4 mechanism just piggy-backs on that.
So I understand that setReplaceMethod will not help.
Thanks Simon,
You cannot use S3 here, because you want to dispatch on the *second*
argument.
- - function(x, value)UseMethod(-, value)
DOES dispatch on the second argument (see the dispatchsecond example below)
Why don't you take the external pointer approach that many others take
to

What's the proposal here? To eliminate double as a class? No
objection from this corner. As I remember, it was put in early in the
implementation of methods, when I was confused about what R intended in
this area (well, I'm not totally unconfused even now).
If this is the proposal, we could

Hello list
Thank you for your help with the d-p-q-r-tests on Irix.
After patching d-p-q-r-tests.R, and d-p-q-r-tests.Rout.save file to
reflect the
change, d-p-q-r tests succeed but make check still fails:

The perl-related warnings have gone in R-devel: we now take the view that
since we need perl to make the test suite, perl = 5.8.0 is compulsory.
(5.6.1 is now over 7 years' old, and 5.8.0 is more than 5.)
The make check failure is in reg-tests-1.R and so will show up in
reg-tests-1.Rout.fail.

Just a loss of accuracy. There have been systems in which using extreme
