It's a feature. I think it's documented somewhere. :) > And also, it seems that (compile) does not load the lib from the > compiled classes, but from the source files. "compile" calls "load" with some special variable bindings. So, yes, both will read the source files. > I guess that, because if the lib contains top level calls that do not > contribute to produce the classes (for example top level (println)s), > when I call (compile), those (println)s are executed. > > Later on, if I call (load) (from a fresh clojure environment) from the > compiled classes, the top level (println)s are not executed, since not > compiled. Yes, that's the expected behavior. "compile" only saves the things defined in the namespace. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
