Are the messages below to be expected from make check-all ?
Yes. They are just that, notes. They occur when a function uses a global
variable which is not obviously existent. However, (a) it might be
assumed to exist whenever the function is actually used and (b) the
function might not actually be using it. As an example of the latter,
look at the grid case:
> grid:::wrap.down
function (x)
{
recordGrob(downViewport(path), list(path = x))
}
The complaint is that "path" is seemingly used without being defined.
However, digging one level further, we have
> grid:::recordGrob
function (expr, list, name = NULL, gp = NULL, vp = NULL)
{
grob(expr = substitute(expr), list = list, name = name, gp = gp,
vp = vp, cl = "recordedGrob")
}
and the substitute() contruct shows that "downViewport(path)" is
getting treated as an unevaluated expression and might not be evaluated
in the global environment at all. Put otherwise, the programmer has
outsmarted the code checker... (In some cases, the code predates the
code checker, and although it might be rewritten to avoid the message,
noone has felt compelled to do so.)
I'm somewhat puzzled by the strange characters in the glm.fit message,
though.
