The following code throws a warning:
test_slot = "testslot"
setGeneric(name = test_slot,
def = function(object){
standardGeneric(test_slot)
},
where = globalenv()
)
[1] "testslot"
Warning message:
In .recursiveCallTest(body, fname) :
the body of the generic function for ‘testslot’ calls 'standardGeneric' to dispatch on a different name ("test_slot")!
I would have expected that it would have been equivalent to:
setGeneric(name = "testslot",
def = function(object){
standardGeneric("testslot")
},
where = globalenv()
)
What happened?
This does not answer why the original block of code failed, but a workaround would be to do:
test_slot = "testslot"
setGeneric(name = test_slot,
def = eval(parse(text = paste0("function(object){",
"standardGeneric('", test_slot, "')",
"}")))
},
where = globalenv()
)
that is, construct the entire def
argument to be an evaluated function.
