[R] library sets: A & EMPTY does not work; gset_intersection(A,EMPTY) works

Mon Apr 12 18:37:30 CEST 2010

Hi David,

Thanks! I just tried it with new sets version (1.0-6) and it works great!
Thanks again for a very nice package.

Best regards,
Ryszard

Peter, Ryszard,

I just put a new version on CRAN (1.0-6) which fixes the problem 
occuring with operators and mixed classes, so, e.g.,

 > gset(1,2) & set()
{}

now works. I also made sure that X == X is always TRUE, and fixed the 
all.equal-bug:

 > gset(1, 0.5 - 0.3) == gset(1, 0.3 - 0.1)
[1] FALSE
 > all.equal(gset(1, 0.5 - 0.3), gset(1, 0.3 - 0.1))
[1] TRUE

Best
David
