My usual testing case is to directly call the function being tested from a repl expression, which is recompiled if it's resubmitted. Further, the "baked-in optimizations" can maybe be made togglable. The unoptimized but easily reloadable 1.2 version would be called while you debugged it; you could switch on optimizations just for benchmarking the speed and tuning that. >> Hasn't posting this discussion here "advanced the discussion"?

Yes, but someone else who was participating in this thread and has the details fresh in his mind can surely do it with less hoop-jumping and more knowledge of the procedures than I can. Especially as at this point I don't even know what a "CDD" even is ... :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
