[Rd] "False" warning on "replacing previous import" when re-exporting identical object

Whoops, yes. As Brian reminded me, it was probably double alignment, not pointers, that was the issue on the old Suns. -pd On Aug 29, 2013, at 21:11 , peter dalgaard wrote: > > On Aug 29, 2013, at 20:37 , Hadley Wickham wrote: > >>> Not to be picky, but that is not the point. The alignment is

You only need ::: if you're calling it from another package (and see the lengthly recent discussion on that issue). The key distinction is whether the function is exported or not: You must document any function that you export. You don't have to document any function you don't export. Hadley On
