Details
The result depends on the value of
options("warn")
.
If warn
is negative warnings are ignored; if it is zero they
are stored and printed after the top–level function has completed;
if it is one they are printed as they occur and if it is 2 (or larger)
warnings are turned into errors.
If warn
is zero (the default),
a top–level variable last.warning
is
created. It contains the warnings which can be printed via a call to
warnings
.
