Memory leak in vec (and maybe persistent!)?

2009-08-14 Thread Andy Fingerhut
If there is a better place to report things like this, let me know. I've done some looking at how much memory various kinds of Clojure data structures use, and come across some behavior that I think might be a memory leak, in the sense that perhaps a reference to a

Is there any reason to keep aset-* functions around in Clojure? I guess backwards compatibility? It definitely seems worth flagging them when *warn-on-reflection* is true, in a similar way to other warnings it enables. Perhaps that might be overloading the meaning of *warn-on-reflection*, but

Roger, tryclj.com is limited in what it can do. The Clojure code you type in there is running on the web server across the network from you, not on your own local machine. That file isn't accessible there. Also for that reason many symbols are not allowed to be used in tryclj.com

clojure.set/intersection is documented to work on input sets. In Clojure, all sets are finite. (range) is a lazy sequence, which isn't a set. You could attempt to make a set out of it with (set (range)), but that won't work because it will try to consume the entire unending sequence. I
