argument names in generic print functions (PR#955)
Hello,
I think this is a bug, although it is possible that I'm doind something
silly.
I want to be able to determine the argument name for variables passed to
a generic print function
suppose we have
print.foo <- function(x, ...)
{
nm<-deparse(substitute(x))
cat("param name is ", nm, "\n")
}
d<-structure(1, class="foo")
Under R-1.2.[2,3]
print(d)
param name is d
d
param name is structure(1, class = "foo") Under Splus 3.4 the responses are
d<-structure(1, class="foo") d
param name is d
print(d)
param name is d If I'm going about this the wrong way then please let me know. Thanks
