From c701b65b8bf259fad0e6f29238662f535f7f4f8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hadley Wickham Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 06:58:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Don't check base property types twice (#723) For a property restricted to a base type, `prop_validate()` called `class_inherits()` to check the underlying type and then called the base class validator, which checked exactly the same thing again. `class_inherits(x, )` is defined as `what$class == base_class(x)`, and every base class validator is the auto-generated `if (base_class(object) != )` check produced by `new_base_class()` (the only call sites are base.R and base-environment.R). So once `class_inherits()` passes there is nothing left for the validator to reject, and it can be skipped. `class_validate()` was already a no-op for unions, `class_any`, `class_missing`, and `NULL`, so those stay on the general path. Also tighten `validate_properties()`: return early when a class has no properties, and only grow `errors` when a property actually fails (it was doing `c(errors, NULL)` on every iteration). wide50 411us -> 224us, wide10 114us -> 76us. --- NEWS.md | 1 + R/property.R | 16 +++++++++++----- R/valid.R | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++---- tests/testthat/_snaps/valid.md | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/testthat/test-valid.R | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/NEWS.md b/NEWS.md index f25af72e..2673353d 100644 --- a/NEWS.md +++ b/NEWS.md @@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ * `set_props()` now names its first argument `_object` to minimise the chances of a clash with a property (#423).
