Problem with "-" in definterface method name

[Adrian Cuthbertson]

Hi,

It seems definterface/deftype have a problem with "-" in the method name...

... Clojure 1.2.0-master-SNAPSHOT (today)

(definterface INm (^String get-nm []))
==> user.INm
(deftype Nm[nm] INm (^String get-nm [this] (str "Mr " nm)))
==> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't define method not in
interfaces: get_nm (NO_SOURCE_FILE:2)

(definterface INm (^String getnm []))
==> user.INm
(deftype Nm[nm] INm (^String getnm [this] (str "Mr " nm)))
==> user.Nm
(.getnm (Nm. "Smith"))
==> "Mr Smith"

Is that a bug or is there a usage rule I'm missing?

Thanks, Adrian.

seems so - underscore in the definterface method works...

(definterface INm (^String get_nm []))

==> user.INm
(deftype Nm[nm] INm (^String get-nm [this] (str "Mr " nm)))

(.get-nm (Nm. "Smith"))
==> "Mr Smith"

I would think get-nm is not a valid Java method name.

Sincerely

definterface makes an actual Java interface. Java does not allow "-".

Attempting this should probably fail with an error message.
