It does seem like a legitimate use for eval, at least at first glance. The biggest problem is that using eval this way is really slow when each rule is being tested on hundreds of inputs.
Interesting alternative, Konrad. I can probably take advantage of the fact that all of the functions I'm calling (unchecked math and bitwise operators) take exactly two arguments. I might give something like that a try. I'd rather not though, if I can avoid it. It seems like there ought to be a way to make a function out of a list of symbols that would be a valid function body and then call it repeatedly. I was playing around with that approach at first, but never managed to get it right. I strongly suspect creating a function once and calling it 400 times will be faster than calling eval 400 times. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
