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)) However, foo recurs and you can't recur in a try/catch/finally. (java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot recur from catch/ finally) So, my question is: does anyone have a pattern for exception checking (this same issue would work if I just wanted to catch an exception in foo) when the contents of the try block recur? I could just remove the tail recursion and go for straight recursion in foo, but there's got to be a better way... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
