Doing it like this:
genericForPrimitive <- function(f, where = topenv(parent.frame()), mustFind
= TRUE) {
ans = .BasicFunsList[[f]]
## this element may not exist (yet, during loading), dom't test null
if(mustFind && identical(ans, FALSE))
stop(gettextf("methods may not be d
Note that setMethod() resolves .BasicFunsList in the methods namespace
directly when setting a method on a primitive. Somehow there should be
consistency between genericForPrimitive() and the check in setMethod().
Also, we can probably step away from the use of elNamed(), given that [[
now uses ex
Hi all,
The function call series genericForPrimitive -> .findBasicFuns -> .findAll
happens 4400 times while the GenomicRanges package is loading. Each time
.findAll follows a chain of environments to determine that the methods
namespace is the only one that holds a variable called .BasicFunsList.
