I have a function foo which uses tail recursion: (defn foo [] (recur)) I need to do some clean-up work after foo (there is an external binding that requires some post-foo processing), and this needs to happen even if foo fails. The naive approach was: (try (foo) (finally (clean-up))

Re: Try/Catch Recur

2009-12-14 Thread CuppoJava
I'm not quite sure about your specific case, but is it possible to just move the try-catch outside of the recursive function? Perhaps this is not possible for your specific case, but it seems like a clean way to handle it, so I would try and massage the problem into something that can be expressed

Haven't used Clojure much yet, but plan on using it more as soon as I am capable. In fact, I am so sold on Clojure I stopped using a paid- for copy of Lispworks a week after buying it when I discovered Clojure. Since Clojure runs on the JVM and interoperates with Java, I am now learning Java,

Hello Clojurians, I've a Clojure newbie, and I've just started running clojure-mode and slime under emacs (on Windows). I'm running into several issues. Some of these are definitely bugs in my understanding; others may be bugs in my install or the implementation itself. I'd appreciate any help

Thanks to both of you for the replies. Adrian, I like the in-line loop- recur. Cuppo, that example is essentially the same one that I was describing but it was key to helping me, as I saw that it evaluated fine when I expected it to fail based on my original problem. Turns out that the problem

I'm glad that everything works now Greg. Though I have to say that I'm a little suspicious of changing a doseq into a for to solve the problem. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any subtleties that can arise because of doseq and tail recursion. Is it possible to post a simplified version

Re: Try/Catch Recur

Actually, the for didn't work for me either but I believe that was a lazy evaluation issue. The doseq seems to use internal recursion, which breaks the try/finally. My final solution was to build up doseq functionality with reduce. See below: (defn foo1 [] (try (println body) (finally
