I've been trying to understand exactly how these two statements are evaluated by tracing execution through Compiler.java, Reflector.java, etc of tag 1.2.0.
The second form - (.foo bar), expanded to (. bar foo) - eventually calls Reflector.invokeNoArgInstanceMember. The first form - (.foo (new Bar)), expanded to (. (new Bar) foo) - doesn't seem to use any Reflector _invocation_ methods. I also added a breakpoint to java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() and it never hits that breakpoint. It seems that Reflector.getMethods is actually used to resolve Methods for placement in the object expression "ObjExpr fexpr" on line 5421 of Compiler.java. After that poing I'm unable to trace where the actual invocation takes place. I am trying to understand how the first form gets evaluated because I have a case where JRebel instrumentation causes this to work: (def bar (new foo.core.Bar)) #'user/bar (.sayAhoj bar) "Ahoj!" but this to fail: (.sayAhoj (new foo.core.Bar)) java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: foo.core.Bar.sayAhojLjava/lang/String; (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) even though the method appears in the stub and can be invoked fine via reflection.
