Hi Gregg, tools.analyzer (specifically tools.analyzer.jvm) doesn't do any evaluation of the forms by default if you're using the `analyze` function, however there's an `analyze+eval` function that will do that if you need.
Note that t.a.jvm is a *clojure* analyzer that will only be able to analyze *valid clojure code*. It will not (out-of-the-box) support analysis of forms containing invalid clojure expressions such as ones where unbounded symbols appear. However there are a number of extension points which effectively allow that, assuming some (possibly non trivial) configuration. If this is what you need, I'd look at passes-opts for the validate pass and at the node spec for :local/:binding nodes. Take a look at what the :env value is for bound locals, a possible solution could be passing in an initial env map with constructed locals.
