[Rcpp-devel] Unit Test Question Was: pnorm/qnorm?

 | Also, are other people who use Rcpp falling into the habit of using
| '=' instead of '<-' for assignment in R, so that moving code to C++
| goes more smoothly?

I am firmly in the 'Don't do '=' for assignment, ever' camp.

Because of the ease of putting a '=' where you meant to put '=='?  Or
something else?
Likewise, are there ever good reasons to use '<<-' or could that stand to
be retired too?

 | Is there any real downside to this habit?  It came up at the BioC
| conference developer day this year and was more or less immediately
| dismissed.

Just say no.

The above was indeed the conclusion of the discussion... I suppose a
search-and-replace is hardly the end of the world (when moving to C++).

Thanks again,
