Saves the next method in the method meta data

Source: R/S4-utils.R
dot-methodWithNext.Rd

Promotes the given method definition to an instance of MethodWithNext, thereby recording the next method in the nextMethod slot.

Usage

.methodWithNext(method, nextMethod, .cache = FALSE)

Arguments

method

the MethodDefinition object to promote

nextMethod

the MethodDefinition object to record as the next method

.cache

whether to cache the promoted method definition object (using methods::cacheMethod())

Value

an instance of MethodWithNext, which has the next method in the nextMethod slot

Note

MethodWithNext objects are normally returned by methods::addNextMethod(), but a constructor function for the class seems missing (or is undocumented?). This provides one.
