What does eval'ing a form containing an object reference cause an exception? What am I doing wrong?
user=> (eval [(java.util.Date.)]) java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't embed object in code, maybe print-dup not defined: Fri Mar 11 19:33:04 EST 2011 (NO_SOURCE_FILE:153) This is the simplest example could contrive, but in the real code, I'm trying to rename a bunch of files. I have two sequences of File objects; I build up a list of commands in a do block, then try to eval it. I am using eval because I want to inspect the whole form at the REPL before evaluating it. user=> (eval [1]) [1] user=> (eval (java.util.Date.)) #<Date Fri Mar 11 19:31:33 EST 2011> user=> (doc print-dup) ------------------------- clojure.core/print-dup nil nil nil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
