clojure.core/bound-fn*

View this page on ClojureDocs

Type: function Added: Clojure 1.1 Examples: 2 Runnable: 0

([f])

Returns a function, which will install the same bindings in effect as in the thread at the time bound-fn* was called and then call f with any given arguments. This may be used to define a helper function which runs on a different thread, but needs the same bindings in place.

(def ^:dynamic *some-var* nil) (defn f [] (println *some-var*)) ;; run f without a new binding (f) nil nil ;; run f with a new binding (binding [*some-var* "hello"] (f)) hello nil ;; run f in a thread with a new binding (binding [*some-var* "goodbye"] (.start (Thread. f))) nil nil ;; run a bound f in a thread with a new binding (binding [*some-var* "goodbye"] (.start (Thread. (bound-fn* f)))) goodbye nil
