[CLJ-1209] Teach clojure.test reporting about ex-info/ex-data

Sat, 11 May 2013 04:12:35 -0500

When clojure.test/deftest does error reports on unexpected exceptions it currently ignores ExceptionInfo and the valuable ex-data it carries. So this patch simple prints this data, it might be helpful to pprint or format it in another way but this was good enough for me.

See example from my tests: https://gist.github.com/thheller/5559391

[CLJ-1192] vec function is substantially slower than into function

Sun, 7 Apr 2013 17:50:41 -0500

(vec coll) and (into [] coll) do exactly the same thing. However, due to into using transients, it is substantially faster. On my machine:

(time (dotimes [_ 100] (vec (range 100000))))
"Elapsed time: 732.56 msecs"

(time (dotimes [_ 100] (into [] (range 100000))))
"Elapsed time: 491.411 msecs"

This is consistently repeatable.

Since vec's sole purpose is to transform collections into vectors, it should do so at the maximum speed available.

[CLJ-1184] Evaling #{do ...} or [do ...] is treated as the do special form

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:42:02 -0500

Evaluating a persistent collection for which the function 'first' returns the symbol 'do' leads to that collection being treated as the do special form, even though it may be a vector or even a set. IMHO, the expected result would be to report that 'do' cannot be resolved. For the cause, see the if condition on line 6604 of Compiler.java in clojure-1.5.1.

E.g.:
[do 1 2]
;=> 2

#{"hello" "goodbye" do}
;=> "hello"
; Wat?

[CLJ-1167] repl value of file is "NO_SOURCE_PATH", of source-path is "NO_SOURCE_FILE"

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:22:52 -0600

repl value of *file* is "NO_SOURCE_PATH", of *source-path* is "NO_SOURCE_FILE"

[CLJ-1164] typos in instant.clj

Fri, 10 May 2013 12:48:26 -0500

There are a few typographical mistakes in instant.clj.

[CLJ-1151] Minor Code Cleanup in core.reducers: use required walk, drop this for coll

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:43:30 -0600

First, core.reducers requires clojure.walk :as walk, but does not use the alias.
Second, the two arity implementation of coll-reduce in function reducer uses 'this', whereas similar implementations in that file use 'coll'. AFAICT it makes no difference to use 'coll' (all tests pass, no change in performance) and it is more in line with the rest of the code.

The two things seem small enough to be put into one cleanup case.

[CLJ-1146] Symbol name starting with digits to defn throws "Unmatched delimiter )"

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:41:03 -0600

When trying to use an invalid symbol name when defining a function, the error message thrown is a confusing and wrong one. The error message is "RuntimeException Unmatched delimiter: ) clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:219)", which unfortunately is the only message seen in nrepled emacs.

$ java -jar clojure-1.5.0-RC2.jar
Clojure 1.5.0-RC2
user=> (defn 45fn [] nil)
NumberFormatException Invalid number: 45fn clojure.lang.LispReader.readNumber (LispReader.java:255)
[]
nil
RuntimeException Unmatched delimiter: ) clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:219)

Expected:
When trying to (defn or (def a thing with a non valid symbol name, the last thrown error message should be one stating that the given symbol name is not a valid one.

[CLJ-1143] Minor correction to doc string of ns macro

Fri, 10 May 2013 12:30:41 -0500

The doc string of ns says "If :refer-clojure is not used, a default (refer 'clojure) is used." 'clojure should be replaced with 'clojure.core

[CLJ-1115] multi arity into

Sun, 9 Dec 2012 07:39:55 -0600

Any reason why into isn't multi arity?

(into to & froms) => (reduce into to froms)

(into #{} [3 3 4] [2 1] ["a"]) looks better than (reduce into #{} [[3 3 4] [2 1] ["a"]])

[CLJ-1095] Allow map-indexed to accept multiple collections (a la map)

Thu, 8 Nov 2012 14:58:13 -0600

Bring external interface of map-indexed in line with map. Existing usages of map-indexed unchanged both in implementation and interface.

examples

(map vector (range 10 20) (range 30 35)) ;=> ([10 30] [11 31] [12 32] [13 33] [14 34])
(map-indexed vector (range 10 20) (range 30 35)) ;=> ([0 10 30] [1 11 31] [2 12 32] [3 13 33] [4 14 34])

The attached patch is not necessarily the best implementation (I haven't benchmarked it or tried any alternatives yet) but hopefully enough to start a conversation about whether this is an addition that is warranted. I know I wished for this behavior a few weeks ago though I ended up finding another way.

(I haven't sent my CA yet, but I have it signed and ready to send in the next few days)

[CLJ-1088] repl/source could support protocol functions

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:41:12 -0500

user=> (source clojure.core.protocols/coll-reduce)
Source not found

But since the protocol fn's var's metadata points to the protocol var, and the protocol var knows the file and line where it was defined, it would be trivial to improve 'source' to look like this:

user=> (source clojure.core.protocols/coll-reduce)
(defprotocol CollReduce
  "Protocol for collection types that can implement reduce faster than
  first/next recursion. Called by clojure.core/reduce. Baseline
  implementation defined in terms of Iterable."
  (coll-reduce [coll f] [coll f val]))

[CLJ-1078] Added queue, queue* and queue? to clojure.core

Sat, 6 Apr 2013 08:06:15 -0500

This patch adds functions for PersistentQueue. queue, queue? and queue* match the list functions of the same naming conventions. Patches include updates to tests.

[CLJ-1072] Replace old metadata reader macro syntax

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:13:37 -0500

5 files still have old metadata reader syntax hash-caret instead of just caret:

src/clj/clojure/core.clj
src/clj/clojure/gvec.clj
src/clj/clojure/java/browse_ui.clj
src/clj/clojure/java/io.clj
src/clj/clojure/repl.clj

[CLJ-1060] 'list*' returns not a list

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:41:40 -0600

Function 'list?' returns sequence, but not a list.
It is a bit confusing.

user=> (list? (list* 1 '(2 3)))
false

[CLJ-1057] Var's .setDynamic does not set :dynamic in metadata

Mon, 3 Dec 2012 09:10:16 -0600

((juxt (comp :dynamic meta) #(.isDynamic %)) #'*agent*)

[CLJ-1044] Enable refering to ->type inside deftype

Sat, 15 Dec 2012 07:35:38 -0600

Inside defrecord is possible to refer to ->type-ctor, that is not possible inside deftype.
This patch adds an implicit declare, as done in defrecord

[CLJ-1027] Outdated documentation for gen-class's :exposes-methods option

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:01:35 -0500

The docstring for gen-class says the following regarding the :exposes-methods option:

"It is sometimes necessary to call the superclass' implementation of an
overridden method. Those methods may be exposed and referred in
the new method implementation by a local name."

To me, this suggests that supplying something like `{foo fooSuper}` allows me to use the symbol `fooSuper` in my new method implementation. Doing this actually results in an error while compiling because `fooSuper` cannot be resolved. It seems that what actually happens is that a `fooSuper` instance method is defined, which calls the superclass's implementation. The docstring should be updated to reflect this.

[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-1017] Metadata expressions are evaluated after the expression they affect

Sat, 23 Jun 2012 17:18:49 -0500

Repro:

user=> (def x (atom 1))
#'user/x
user=> ^{:foo (swap! x inc)} {:bar (swap! x inc)}
{:bar 2}
user=> (meta *1)
{:foo 3}

Presumably this is because ^:foo x expands to (with-meta x {:foo true}) but probably should have reversed argument order or use a let expression.

[CLJ-980] Documentation for extend-type falsely implies that & is allowed in protocol fn signatures

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 08:00:13 -0600

The documentation for extend-type contains the following example:

(extend-type MyType 
    Countable
      (cnt [c] ...)
    Foo
      (bar [x y] ...)
      (baz ([x] ...) ([x y & zs] ...)))

However, [x y & zs] is not a valid parameter list for a protocol fn. The documentation should be appropriately amended.

[CLJ-863] interleave should accept 1 or 0 arguments

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:03:08 -0500

interleave should handle 0 and 1 arguments in the same way that concat does (i.e., 0 args --> empty seq, 1 args --> identity).

[CLJ-704] range function has missing documentation

Fri, 11 May 2012 09:32:21 -0500

The range function's documentation does indicate the following usage:

(range 10 0 -1) -> (10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

Current doc:

Returns a lazy seq of nums from start (inclusive) to end
(exclusive), by step, where start defaults to 0, step to 1, and end
to infinity.

Suggestion:
