`styles.assignment.notinfcall` and functions like `system.time`, `within`, `local`
This may be related to halpo's issue #5.
system.time
, within
, local
are some of R's function where using assignments inside the arguments are perfectly ok, e.g:
GOOD
system.time(a <- sleep(1))
BAD
system.time(a = sleep(1))
GOOD
within(cars, speed.dist <- speed * dist)
BAD
within(cars, speed.dist = speed * dist)
Would it be possible to modify styles.assignment.notinfcall
to handle such exceptions? If not, I would consider removing styles.assignment.notinfcall
from lint
's default list of tests: lint.style
.
I'll consider this as a change to the function call region finder but that is something that I am already working on. Too deep of nesting with things like system.time and within are something that I generally frown upon. Within in fact wreaks havoc on the R checker and so should in most cases be avoided in production code.
As far a the default list style list that is not going to change and I highly encourage people to create their own style guides or adopt the published style guides that are already out there. I am loosely guiding my style development off Google and Hadley's style guides.
