Dear R.oo package users,
while testing some functionality of the R.oo, I found that during the first
construction of a object from a class, the constructor is twice called, but
only one object is finalized.
In all subsequent creation processes, the constructor is (expectedly) called
once.
Here some example code:
library(R.oo)
setConstructorS3("Test_class",function(val) {
cat("constructor\n")
if(missing(val)) val<-NA;
extend(Object(), "Test_class", .val=val) })
setMethodS3("finalize","Test_class",function(this,...) { cat("destructor\n") })
o<-Test_class(1)
rm(o)
gc()
Is there any explanation for this behaviour?
Thanks very much in advance
W. Kaisers
