Hi,
This may not be the answer you are looking for. But, kooking at the example
you gave, you will need to execution environment of the function to
determine the binding of y. It could vary based on where it is invoked.
That is because, if the function call was wrapped inside a 'binding form
then the value of y would be different. And, isn't this something that is
determined during execution of the function?
Example:
(def ^:dynamic y 10)
(defn testfn [x]
(+ x y))
(testfn 10)
==> print 20
(binding [y 100]
(testfn 10))
==> prints 110.
So, unless you want to assume the free variables are always lexically
scoped, that value you may want to deref would vary.
Maybe you have a very specific scenario where you need to do what you want.
More details would help.
Thanks
Guru
