Thanks for the project.clj specifics Ben. It still isn't clear to me if/how I could then look at the locals after hitting an unexpected exception. Perhaps Cedric's strategy described a couple of messages back (which I didn't fully understand) would work here? But from the lack of followup to this post http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.clojure.swank-clojure.devel/106 -- I wonder if it still won't work when hitting unexpected exceptions. Also, I guess I don't understand what locals clearing is in this context, but why would this slow things down? If it's just preventing the clearing of locals when handling an exception then I'd expect it to have no effect except during an exception... Do you mean that it'll slow down code that does a lot of "exception" handling in circumstances that aren't really exceptional? Or will this flag do something very different than what I'm thinking, like causing all locals everywhere to be retained forever? That'd cause problems worse than just slowdowns, I would think. -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
