clojure.pprint/code-dispatch breaks on certain types of anonymous functions

Defect Major Open Unresolved Unassigned Devin Walters Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:40:11 -0500 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:40:31 -0500 Release 1.5 1 2 <p>I think the main "issue" here resides within the undocumented functionality of fn*. (fn* <span class="error">&#91;x&#93;</span> x) is a semantically working function, but (fn <span class="error">&#91;x&#93;</span> x) expands into (fn* (<span class="error">&#91;x&#93;</span> x)). Anonymous function literals expand into (fn* <span class="error">&#91;gensyms&#93;</span> (...)), and as such, it also accepts expressions like (fn* <span class="error">&#91;x&#93;</span> x). Should pprint pretty print expressions which has used fn* directly, or should it "just" ignore it?</p> Global Rank
