Hi, Here's another patch from me: The clojure.lang.Range type is implemented with integer type start and end indices. The core.clj range function should detect when an index doesn't fit inside an int and create an increasing sequence using iterate instead. The current implementation detects too large positive, but not too large negative ranges. The overflow occurs silently without throwing an exception.
Before: user=> (take 1 (range -2147483649 0)) (2147483647) After applying the patch (created against trunk r1159): user=> (take 1 (range -2147483649 0)) (-2147483649) I also made the range function slightly less conservative < vs <= wise. This shouldn't affect correctness but (range 0 2147483647) will now return a Range (after patch) instead of a LazyCons (before). /Olov Lassus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
