Hi all, I came across an obscure behaviour in clojurescript.
The original function is used to tabulate, as a list of lists, "non overlapping sub-sequences". I stripped out the unessential parts from my code to get the following. It doesn't do anything specific - but exhibits similar behaviour uncommenting the comment below causes the correct behaviour to be produced. when commented the result is different when commented, and if you count it, the length of 'held' increases indefinitely and the function does not terminate (defn obscure-bug ([a-seq held iresult fresult] (if (empty? a-seq) (if (empty? held) (conj fresult iresult) (recur held [] [] (conj fresult iresult))) (let [[item & remainder] a-seq [n-held new-seq] (split-with (fn [i] (> item i)) remainder) ;;;; _x (doall n-held) ; <-- uncommenting this produces different results in clojurescript, it does not in clojure ] (recur new-seq (concat held n-held) (conj iresult item) fresult) )))) (obscure-bug [1 7 8 9 6 2 3 4 5 6] [] [] []) ; in clojure - whether commented or not [[1 7 8 9] [6 6] [2 3 4 5]] ; in clojurescript ; uncommented [[1 7 8 9] [6 6] [2 3 4 5]] ; commented [[1 7 8 9] [7] [6] [2]] Regards Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
