[Rd] stopifnot() does not stop at first non-TRUE argument

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi,

It's surprising that stopifnot() keeps evaluating its arguments after
it reaches the first one that is not TRUE:

   > stopifnot(3 == 5, as.integer(2^32), a <- 12)
   Error: 3 == 5 is not TRUE
   In addition: Warning message:
   In stopifnot(3 == 5, as.integer(2^32), a <- 12) :
     NAs introduced by coercion to integer range
   > a
   [1] 12

The details section in its man page actually suggests that it should
stop at the first non-TRUE argument:

   ‘stopifnot(A, B)’ is conceptually equivalent to

    { if(any(is.na(A)) || !all(A)) stop(...);
      if(any(is.na(B)) || !all(B)) stop(...) }

Best,
H.
