Well, it seems like it should be possible. At the end of the defn macro, metadata is attached to a function, so you can see the name with:
``` (meta #'my.ns/add) ``` And you could do this inside the function: ``` (defn add [a b] (let [name (:name (meta #'add))] (str a b name))) ``` But that can't be what you want. The thing is, the actual function body doesn't know that it's being bound to the symbol "add" and making it aware would seem to contravene a number of league bylaws. That is to say, the macro "defn" attaches the meta-information to the symbol #add, not to the code that follows. You could certainly make your own macro to make the bound variable name visible to the body of the code, but I'm not sure you can do that with the built-in defn. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
