Thank you, Martin;
I've applied your patch to my working copy of R-devel,
and I can confirm it solves the problem for class "AffyBatch"
(from bioconductor package 'affy').
However it does not seem to fix the problem in my case:
library(Matrix)
promptClass("sparseMatrix")
which still produces a sparseMatrix-class.Rd file which
contains
\section{Methods}{
No methods defined with class "sparseMatrix" in the signature.
}
so there's at least another bug there.
One difference: "sparseMatrix" is a virtual class, "AffyBatch"
not, but then showMethods(classes = "..") works for both.
I'd be glad if you have time to find another patch ;-) :-)
