As of rev. 61035 in r-devel, setRefClass() now returns a generator
function, as setClass() has done since 2.15.0.
The convenient style is now:
mEdit <- setRefClass("mEdit",......)
xx <- mEdit(data = xMat)
instead of
xx <- mEdit$new(data = xMat)
The returned object still has fields and methods accessible as before.
See the "Value" and "Reference Class Generators" sections of
?ReferenceClasses for details.
Thanks to Romain François for suggesting this.
