Hi, I am getting the following error trying to extend java.lang.Exception in the latest revision of Clojure:
user=>(defmacro defexception [name] `(try (gen-and-load-class (quote ~name) :extends Exception) (catch java.lang.LinkageError le# (. le# (printStackTrace))))) user=> (defexception my.Exception) java.lang.ClassFormatError: JVMCFRE114 field name is invalid; class=my/Exception, offset=0 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:265) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:202) at clojure.lang.DynamicClassLoader.defineClass(DynamicClassLoader.java:39) at clojure.gen_and_load_class__2231.doInvoke(genclass.clj:461) at clojure.lang.RestFn.invoke(RestFn.java:443) at user.fn__2491.invoke(Unknown Source) at clojure.lang.AFn.applyToHelper(AFn.java:182) at clojure.lang.AFn.applyTo(AFn.java:175) at clojure.lang.Compiler$InvokeExpr.eval(Compiler.java:2664) at clojure.lang.Compiler.eval(Compiler.java:4116) at clojure.lang.Repl.main(Repl.java:91) nil user=> The 'defexception macro is actually from swank-clojure. I have used this successfully in the past, the difference here is that I am using the IBM 1.6.0 JRE in this case: [EMAIL PROTECTED] trunk]$ java -version java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxi3260sr2-20080818_01(SR2)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux x86-32 jvmxi3260-20080816_22093 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) J9VM - 20080816_022093_lHdSMr JIT - r9_20080721_1330ifx2 GC - 20080724_AA) JCL - 20080808_02 I'm not sure if this is Clojure's bug or IBM's. I don't have the luxury of testing this on any other JVMs at the moment. I presume that since everyone is able to use swank-clojure at the latest revision that this is not happening on other JVMs? /mike. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
