The reason for this is two-fold: 1) Vars in Clojure are not suffering from that issue, since they are reified. That means, that their field in the java class is a generated name and they are interned by their string name. So a def works one way or the other. 2) With the defn, the *function* classes are named after their namespace var. So (type foo-bar) => core$foo_bar. When evaluating a defn from the repl, the fn class is emitted, loaded into the class loader and an instance of it is assigned to the var. When aot compiling, however, the fn classes are written as .class files and instantiated (and assigned to their vars) in the namespace constructor. When you aot compile my example and look at the classes with jd, you see that there is just one fn class file core$foo_bar.class. That means that the former one got overwritten. In core__init.class you see that two vars are created with their correct names, but both are assigned an instance of the same class. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
