I came across the following behavior today, and wanted to make sure it's expected (on 1.2 and 1.3-beta2). Each time a reify form is executed, two fresh objects seem to be created; one is immediately thrown away, and the other is returned from the form:
user=> (defn foo [] (let [x (reify Object (finalize [this] (println "Finalize" this)))] (println "Create" x) x)) user=> (def x [(foo) (foo)]) Create #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@74002515> Create #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@3582c132> user=> (System/gc) Finalize #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@318efaea> Finalize #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@72940b84> user=> (def x nil) user=> (System/gc) Finalize #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@3582c132> Finalize #<user$foo$reify__86 user$foo$reify__86@74002515> Thanks, Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
