Hi all,
I came across an obscure behaviour in clojurescript.
The original function is used to tabulate, as a list of lists, "non
overlapping sub-sequences".
I stripped out the unessential parts from my code to get the following.
It doesn't do anything specific - but exhibits similar behaviour
uncommenting the comment below causes the correct behaviour to be produced.
when commented the result is different
when commented, and if you count it, the length of 'held' increases
indefinitely and the function does not terminate
(defn obscure-bug
([a-seq held iresult fresult]
(if (empty? a-seq)
(if (empty? held)
(conj fresult iresult)
(recur held [] [] (conj fresult iresult)))
(let [[item & remainder] a-seq
[n-held new-seq] (split-with (fn [i] (> item i)) remainder)
;;;; _x (doall n-held) ; <-- uncommenting this produces
different results in clojurescript, it does not in clojure
]
(recur new-seq (concat held n-held) (conj iresult item) fresult)
))))
(obscure-bug [1 7 8 9 6 2 3 4 5 6] [] [] [])
; in clojure - whether commented or not
[[1 7 8 9] [6 6] [2 3 4 5]]
; in clojurescript
; uncommented
[[1 7 8 9] [6 6] [2 3 4 5]]
; commented
[[1 7 8 9] [7] [6] [2]]
Regards
Dave
