I want to type hint an overloaded Java method. I used to have a function like so
(defn iri [name] (IRI/create name)) Where IRI.create is one of IRI.create(String) IRI.create(URL) IRI.create(File) Type hinting the return value of this is straight-forward, but the parameter is one of three types. The only way I seem to be able to get this to work is to do lots of instance? checks... (defn ^IRI iri [name] (cond (instance? String name) (IRI/create ^String name) (instance? java.net.URL name) (IRI/create ^java.net.URL name) (instance? java.io.File name) (IRI/create ^java.io.File name))) which is a lot longer and, well, just not very nice. I could make this neater with a macro -- something like... (with-types [String, URL, File] (IRI/create name)) which would expand into the cond form above. But the instance? checks seem not ideal. Is there a better solution? Phil -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
