I'm working on some code where I want to evaluate different implementations of the same functionality. Each implementation of a function lives in its own namespace. For example, suppose that I have the following simplified code.
(ns tst1) (defn foo [x] (+ x 1)) (ns tst2) (defn foo [x] (+ x 2)) (ns tst3) (defn foo [x] (+ x 3)) (in-ns 'user) What I'd like to do is call a macro that binds the function name in user to the function in one of the libraries. The call would look like one of these. (switch-library! 'tst1 'foo) (switch-foo-library! 'tst1) The closest that I got was to do (defmacro switch-foo-library! [x] `(defn foo [y#] ((resolve (symbol (str ~x "/foo"))) y#))) That's kind of embarrassing, but I think it does what I want. However, suppose I do (ns-unmap 'user 'juxt) (defmacro switch-juxt-library! [x] `(defn juxt [y#] ((resolve (symbol (str ~x "/juxt"))) y#))) Now I get CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create defs outside of current ns, compiling: Well, gosh. I can't play around with symbols in clojure.core? What's happening here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
