Hi all,
When creating a sorted set, the function sorted-set-by
cannot be called without at least one element, despite
the elements being optional.
Chouser on irc.freenode.net #clojure suggested this is a bug, because:
20:26 < chouser> leafw: sorted-set-by allows for an empty list of initial
values, but passes that on to PersistentTreeSet/create as
null, but create doesn't check for null it just blindly calls
.length on it.
An example:
; This works:
(reduce
(fn [s b]
(conj s b))
(sorted-set-by
#(int (- (%1 :med) (%2 :med)))
{:med Double/MAX_VALUE})
[{:med 4} {:med 1} {:med 10}])
; Output:
#{{:med 1} {:med 4} {:med 10} {:med 1.7976931348623157E308}}
; But this doesn't work:
(reduce
(fn [s b]
(conj s b))
(sorted-set-by
#(int (- (%1 :med) (%2 :med))))
[{:med 4} {:med 1} {:med 10}])
; Output:
