I'm trying to determine if there is a way to gain access to the dynamic and lexical bindings tables at both run-time and compile- time. In general this seems like a bad idea, but I'd like to be able to modify the evaluation environment while performing compile-time partial evaluation. Last night I played around with clojure.lang.Var/ find and clojure.lang.Namespace.getMappings which appeared to let me access the dynamic scope. I went further, digging into the .java code and found the static field clojure.lang.Compiler/LOCAL_ENV, which if accessed during macro expansion time contains the lexical bindings. I know from experimenting that an exception is thrown if you attempt to evaluate a lexical variable during compilation time (makes sense):
(let [x 5] (clojure.contrib.macros/const x)) doesn't work (which makes sense since 5 could be anything). So, is there a way to access the dynamic and lexical bindings directly, at compile time or run time? If not, are there any shortcuts around implementing my own tables and performing substitution? -- Tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
