[issue21904] Multiple closures accessing the same non-local variable always see the same value

2014-07-02 Thread Steve Holden
Steve Holden added the comment: I believe (though my belief is untrammeled by anything as useful as knowledge of the code: my diagnostic skills are largely psychic) that the cell essentially takes over the reference from the local namespace of the about-to-terminate lexically surrounding

[issue21904] Multiple closures accessing the same non-local variable always see the same value

2014-07-02 Thread Steve Holden
Steve Holden added the comment: Indeed the issue is that the pointer is to the local variable rather than its value at time of closure defnition. Not being familiar with the way cells are used, I am unsure as to how the closure keeps the whole namespace alive (that would seem to require a

[issue21904] Multiple closures accessing the same non-local variable always see the same value

2014-07-02 Thread Steve Holden
New submission from Steve Holden: When repeated use of a nonlocal variable is made (e.g. to define multiple functions in a loop) ideally the closure should reflect the value of the local variable at the time of use. This should at least be explicitly documented if the behavior is considered

Hi, folks I'm hoping to use 389 DS to replace our ancient Sun DS 5.2 service. I've hit a snag with my 389 development server; it's performance far worse than the 10 year-old servers it's intended to replace. Things looked promising: the old directory data has been imported (with only minor chang
