I just ran into the following surprise: user> (defrecord P []) user.P user> (defrecord Q []) user.Q user> (= (P.) (Q.)) false user> (.equals (P.) (Q.)) true
This is not a bug (but I do find it confusing -- I did not expect (P.) and (Q.) to collide as map keys): http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_frm/thread/7ba5215d59f2f177 However, the docstring of defrecord says it "will define type-and- value-based equality and hashCode". Perhaps this could be clarified? Along the same lines, the docstring of = says "same as Java x.equals(y), except it ... compares numbers and collections in a type- independent manner". To me, this seems to imply the opposite of what actually happens with records. Thanks, Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
