wrap_unsafe_function: Wrap "unsafe calls" functions

In box: Write Reusable, Composable and Modular R Code

Wrap “unsafe calls” functions

Description

wrap_unsafe_function declares a function wrapper to a function that causes an R CMD check NOTE when called directly. We should usually not call these functions, but we need some of them because we want to explicitly support features they provide.

Usage

wrap_unsafe_function(ns, name)

Arguments

ns	The namespace of the unsafe function.
name	The name of the unsafe function.

Value

wrap_unsafe_calls returns a wrapper function with the same argument as the wrapped function that can be called without causing a NOTE.

Note

Using an implementation that simply aliases getExportedValue does not work, since R CMD check sees right through this “ruse”.
