Description

Apparently, defttrace does not support functions with doc-strings. I tried replacing defn with deftrace in a function of mine (as the docs indicated) and I got the following error -

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Don't know how to create ISeq from: Symbol
</code></pre>

Sample code to reproduce the error - 

<pre><code>(deftrace fact
  "Calculate the factorial of x"
  [x]
  (if (< x 1)
    1
    (* x (fact (- x 1)))))

Would be great if this bug is fixed, all my functions have doc-strings

trptcolin said: This patch adds support and tests for both docstrings and metadata, and also fixes the regex in the existing test to correctly identify errors. The current regex has unescaped characters: | ( ) that were almost certainly typos, as matching (for instance) only the last line of output would pass the test. The docstring/metadata support is a simplified version of what's in the source of defn.

Issue fixed in tools.trace 1.0 which is compatible for both Clojure 1.2.x and 1.3.
The macro now verifies if the first argument is a doc string and adapts accordingly.
This ticket can be closed.
