clojure.core/byte was modified a couple weeks ago as follows: (defn byte "Coerce to byte" {:tag Byte :inline (fn [x] `(. clojure.lang.RT (byteCast ~x)))} - [^Number x] (. x (byteValue))) + [^Number x] (clojure.lang.RT/byteCast x))
byteValue and byteCast behave differently with values outside the range of byte values: user=> (. 255 (byteValue)) -1 user=> (clojure.lang.RT/byteCast 255) java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value out of range for byte: 255 (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0) The new version breaks clojure.contrib.shell/sh's :out :bytes mode. Perhaps have sh use #(.byteValue %) instead of byte? (untested) -Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
