Hi,
I have two example packages, test1 and test2, where the only code in
them is:
setGeneric("predict", function(object, ...) standardGeneric("predict"))
(get them from http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~gabraham/test1.tar and
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~gabraham/test2.tar)
The difference between them is that first does not have a namespace, and
loads fine. The second has a namespace but generates a warning:
> library(test2)
Attaching package: 'test2'
The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :
predict
Is this an intended behaviour? If I ignore this masking warning, do I
risk unintended consequences later down the track?
Thanks,
Gad
