As reflected in the linked discussion and Jira ticket, it seems possible to be able to use -ea/-da with Clojure. It would definitely require a compiler change, and I'm not aware of any further movement to make Clojure's asserts use a mechanism compatible with -ea/-da.
An additional annoyance (as I mentioned in the linked thread) is that there isn't really a way to easily disable assertions. Clojure supports some properties for configuring compilation https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Compile.java#L28-L30 but not a property to enable/disable assertions. I've worked around it before by defining my own assert macro and using (refer-clojure :exclude [assert]), in order to be able to toggle assertions myself. https://github.com/pjstadig/deque-clojure/blob/master/src/name/stadig/deque.clj#L23-L27 Paul On Thursday, October 10, 2013 4:43:55 PM UTC-4, lop...@gmail.com wrote: > > Dear All, > > Is it possible to use Java assertion system in Clojure? > > I want to put invariant checks in my code which can be turned on/off at > runtime with java -ea/-da. > > http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/language/assert.html > > The only mention touching this issue in Clojure I could find is > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure-dev/kUCVUEALmWI > > it does not give any constructive suggestions, though. > > Has anybody used this JVM facility in Clojure code? > > Thanks in advance for any of your hints! > > Best regards, > Michal > > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
