Defunct functions in package methods.
getAccess(ClassDef)
getClassName(ClassDef)
getClassPackage(ClassDef)
getExtends(ClassDef)
getProperties(ClassDef)
getPrototype(ClassDef)
getSubclasses(ClassDef)
getVirtual(ClassDef)getAllMethods(f, fdef, where)
mlistMetaName (name, package)
removeMethodsObject(f, where)
seemsS4Object(object)
allGenerics()
trySilent(expr)
traceOn(what, tracer=browseAll, exit=NULL)
traceOff(what)
The first block of functions should be replaced by direct access to the slots, or by use of higher-level alternatives.
The functions and corresponding slots are:
getAccess |
"access" |
getClassName |
"className" |
getClassPackage |
"package" |
getExtends |
"contains" |
getProperties |
"slots" |
getPrototype |
"prototype" |
getSubclasses |
"subclasses" |
getAllMethods replicated the behavior of
getMethods, which should be called instead to obtain
approximately the old behavior of getAllMethods. However, a
better substitution is to use findMethods, which
returns a simpler structure.
mlistMetaName was a utility to return the mangled
name for the object that stored the MethodsList
representation of the methods for a particular generic function,
typically in the environment of a package. These objects are no
longer used.
removeMethodsObject removed the metadata object containing
methods for f.
seemsS4Object was similar to isS4 and superseded
by the introduction of the S4 bit in R 2.4.0.
allGenerics is superseded by getGenerics.
trySilent(ex) was a deprecated equivalent of try(e,
silent=TRUE); in R programming it is typically more efficient and
flexible to work with something like tryCatch(ex,
error = function(e) e) instead.
The functions traceOn and traceOff have been replaced by
extended versions of the functions trace and
untrace.
