It would help to know what your real goal is, but compiled Clojure does not retain the original source form.
One hook you do have though is macros which will be invoked prior to compilation. At macro execution time, you have access to the special &form var which is the original form (as a Clojure data structure). Thus you could write a defn-like macro which when called to define a function definition would define the function and decorate it with meta that included the definition. I am a poor enough macrologist that I will not attempt that here but merely suggest it should be feasible. :) Alex On Thursday, November 21, 2013 12:14:39 PM UTC-6, henry w wrote: > > Say you have a function created like this: > > (fn [x] (+ x y)) > > and then you have a reference to an instance of this function, is there > some way to use the function reference to access the list '(fn [x] (+ x y)), > including the symbol 'y' (such that you could dereference 'y' and get its > value)?
