Dear list,
just to make sure that I understand 'unregistering' methods for S4 reference
classes correctly:
If I registered a method and want to 'unregister' (i.e. remove) this method
again, objects/instance created of the respective class still feature the
removed method until I do an explicit reassign ('my.instance <-
getRefClass("Classname")$new()'), right?
setRefClass("Shab", fields=list(a="numeric"))
# Register method
getRefClass("Shab")$methods(list(aSquare=function() a^2))
getRefClass("Shab")$methods()
# Create instance
shab <- getRefClass("Shab")$new()
shab$a <- 10
# Use method
shab$aSquare()
# Remove method
getRefClass("Shab")$methods(list(aSquare=NULL))
getRefClass("Shab")$methods() # Gone.
shab$aSquare() # Still possible
shab <- getRefClass("Shab")$new()
shab$aSquare() # Not possible anymore
Is it also possible to remove a method so that all instances do not feature
the respective method anymore without having to resort to an explicit
reassign? Or is this technically not possible or not a desired feature?
TIA,
Janko
