I've made a change to the naming and location of AOT-compiled assemblies generated by ClojureCLR.
Previously, ClojureCLR had followed the conventions of ClojureJVM in naming/locating class files (assemblies in CLR-land) generated by AOT- compilation. Thus, doing (compile 'a.b.c) would find source file <AppBase>\a\b\c.clj and generate <AppBase>\a\b\c.clj.dll. In the lastest commit, this has been changed so that (compile 'a.b.c) will find source file <AppBase>\a\b\c.clj and generate <AppBase> \a.b.c.clj.dll. Obviously, this change will force recompilation of existing apps. Otherwise, it should have no effect. Completely arbitrarily, ClojureCLR names the AOT-compilation generated files whatever.clj.dll. The .clj. is superfluous, but does serve as a visual indication of the assembly's origin. Question: Useful, or just annoying? Unnecessary explanation: The reason for the change has to do with limitations of assembly loading. As previously coded, (compile 'a.b.c) would generate <AppBase>\a\b.c.clj.dll and (compile 'd.e.c) would generate <AppBase>\d \e\c.clj.dll. There are circumstances where the latter would not compile but might load the former instead. This has to do with name resolution in the load-from context in assembly loading, which does not consider location. The simplest solution was to encode namespace information i the filename, so assemblies can be differentiated by file name instead of location. -David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
