setGenericVerif: A Safe Version of setGeneric.
In BALD: Robust Loss Development Using MCMC

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

A Safe Version of setGeneric. Intended for internal use only.

1	setGenericVerif(name, ...)

`name`	The character string name of the generic function.
`...`	Additional arguments to pass to `setGeneric`.

setGeneric will overwrite existing generic functions. This will result in the loss of all methods already associated with that generic. setGenericVerif only sets the generic if it is not already a generic. If a generic by the name of name already exists, a warning is issued and NULL is returned. Otherwise setGeneric is called and its value returned.

setGenericVerif really exists for its side effect; but returns the value returned by setGeneric or NULL.
