I've written a pair of functions which read a stream of Clojure source and identify the var[*] definitions. They work, but the way they work seems clumsy to me. Here they are:
(defn find-vars-in-reader [eddi] "Return a list of names of vars declared in the stream this reader reads" (try (let [sexpr (read eddi)] (cond (nil? sexpr) nil (= (first sexpr) 'def) (cons (first (rest sexpr)) (find-vars-in-reader eddi)) true (find-vars-in-reader eddi))) (catch RuntimeException eof))) (defn find-vars-in-file [filename] "Return a list of names of vars declared in the file at this path name" (with-open [eddi (java.io.PushbackReader. (reader filename))] (find-vars-in-reader eddi))) The thing that really offends me about this is using catching a runtime exception to stop reading. There must be a better way of detecting an end-of-file, but I've missed it. The other thing, though, is I can't help feeling that it would be more idiomatic Clojure to write a wrapper around a source file which allowed functions to treat the file as a lazy sequence of S-expressions; and I can't help feeling someone must already have done this. Have they? Is there a library I should be looking at? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
