http://dev.clojure.org/jira This file is an XML representation of an issue en-us 4.4 649 25-07-2011 http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-792 Clojure <p>Issues:</p> <ol> <li>Code for obtaining method/constructor instances is duplicated across the Compiler</li> <li>Code for resolving a preferred overloaded method lives in the Compiler</li> </ol> <p>By consolidating the duplicated code, moving the reflection-related parts into Reflector, and providing a straightforward API, it should be easier to read and understand the method resolution process. Further, improvements to (e.g., <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-445" title="Method/Constructor resolution does not factor in widening conversion of primitive args">CLJ-445</a>) the mechanism for reflecting on class members can largely be isolated from the Compiler. And the few points of coordination (e.g., Compiler emitting same arg and return types as Reflector does when invoking) can be clearly identified and documented.</p> CLJ-792

It compiles, but does not pass ant test.</p> Global Rank
