[CLJ-1084] (object-array [1]) is ~3x slower than (object-array (rseq [1]))

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:53:42 -0500

{{user=> (time (dotimes [_ 10000000] (object-array [1])))
"Elapsed time: 1178.116257 msecs"
nil
user=> (time (dotimes [_ 10000000] (object-array (rseq [1]))))
"Elapsed time: 422.42248 msecs"
nil}}

This appears to be because PersistentVector$ChunkedSeq does not implement Counted, so RT.count is iterating the ChunkedSeq to get its count.

[CLJ-1020] clojure.inspector/inspect-table gives up when first element of coll is nil

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:30:24 -0500

clojure.inspector/inspect-table gives up when first element of coll is nil. The patch provided is rather trivial...instead of blindly choosing the first element (which might be nil), it would be more convenient to choose the first element that is NOT nil and use its keys for columns...a similar issue exists with clojure.pprint/print-table where the keys of the first element are used (if not provided explicitly). The same is not true for 'inspect-table' though. As a result, one cannot 'inspect' a collection of maps where the first element is nil. My (trivial) patch looks for the first element which is NOT nil and uses its keys instead. Maps have to have the same length anyway so no problems there...

[CLJ-963] Support pretty printing namespace declarations under code-dispatch

Sat, 1 Sep 2012 08:37:48 -0500

Currently when you print code with an (ns ) declaration in it, the ns declaration comes out kind of messy. This patch makes that beautiful.

[CLJ-953] drop-while doc string wrong, nil instead of logical false

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:16:31 -0500

"Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll starting from the first
-  item for which (pred item) returns nil."
+  item for which (pred item) returns logical false."

[CLJ-886] java.io/do-copy can garble multibyte characters

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:40:35 -0500

See comments in fix:

(defmethod do-copy [InputStream Writer] [#^InputStream input #^Writer output opts]
;; WRONG! if the buffer boundry falls in the middle of a multibyte character, we will get garbled results.
#_
(let [#^"[B" buffer (make-array Byte/TYPE (buffer-size opts))]
(loop []
(let [size (.read input buffer)]
(when (pos? size)
(let [chars (.toCharArray (String. buffer 0 size (encoding opts)))]
(do (.write output chars)
(recur)))))))
;; here we decode the characters before stuffing them into the buffer
(let [#^"[C" buffer (make-array Character/TYPE (buffer-size opts))
in (InputStreamReader. input (encoding opts))]
(loop []
(let [size (.read in buffer 0 (alength buffer))]
(if (pos? size)
(do (.write output buffer 0 size)
(recur)))))))

[CLJ-879] Allow :require to support a :refer clause

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:18:28 -0600

There's been discussion previously about the complexity of the ns
macro. In particular the fact that :use causes all vars to be referred
by default is widely seen as unfortunate, and the distinction between
use and require is a source of conceptual overhead for people new to
the language.

We can't change the fact that :use refers everything by default
without breaking lots of existing code. But it would be possible to
enhance :require to support referring specified vars, leaving us free
to deprecate or otherwise discourage the use of :use.
