Question

我正在阅读Martin Morgan's notes on reference classes，在幻灯片7中，他使用setMethod来定义show函数，而不使用setGeneric将其设置为通用。

为什么允许这样做？是否存在所有引用类声明为通用的方法列表，包括show？

Answer 1

show已经是一个通用函数：

> isGeneric("show")
[1] TRUE

通过调用getGenerics：

，可以获得父环境中的泛型列表

> getGenerics()

如果查看?show，您会看到showDefault有默认发送。我似乎记得看到一系列其他可用的方法，但我现在找不到它们的链接，所以对于你的第二个问题，我不知道。
