Hi all, I was curious to know if it is at all possible to determine how many times a function has been recursively called by inspecting the callstack.
Given this code snippet: (defn ignored? [classname] (let [ignored #{"callers" "dbg" "clojure.lang" "swank" "nrepl" "eval"}] (some #(re-find (re-pattern %) classname) ignored))) (defn callstack [] (let [fns (map #(str (.getClassName %)) (-> (Throwable.) .fillInStackTrace .getStackTrace))] (vec (doall (remove ignored? fns))))) (defn random-depth [] (pprint (callstack)) (if (> (Math/random) 0.5) (recur))) I get the following output: ["user$callstack" "user$random_depth" "clojure.main$repl$fn__7108" "clojure.main$repl" "clojure.core$apply" "clojure.core$with_bindings_STAR_" "java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor" "java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker" "java.lang.Thread"] ["user$callstack" "user$random_depth" "clojure.main$repl$fn__7108" "clojure.main$repl" "clojure.core$apply" "clojure.core$with_bindings_STAR_" "java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor" "java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker" "java.lang.Thread"] I would like to get a different stack on each iteration, but given that the whole point of recur is not to consume the stack while looping, I understand why this method would not work. Is there any other data that I could use to either get or approximate this information? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
