Mark,
I think there may still be a small misunderstanding on your part on
how some of this works. I noticed the following snippet from your
last checkin:
/**
- * Return the number of existing arguments passed to a native API Rexx method,
- * (as opposed to the size of the argument array.)
+ * Return the number of existing arguments used in an ooRexx method invocation
+ * of a native API Rexx method. In others words, it is intended to not count
+ * the pseudo-arguments like OSELF.
*
+ * It may be obvious, or not, that in order for this to work, the order of the
+ * real ooRexx arguements need to be kept sequential in the
RexxMethodX function
+ * signatures.
+ *
* @param context The method context pointer for the native method.
+ * @param start The starting position, 1-based of the real ooRexx args.
+ * @param end The ending position, 1-based, of the real ooRexx args
*
* @return The count of existing arguments in the argument array.
*/
-size_t rxArgCount(RexxMethodContext * context)
+size_t rxArgCount(RexxMethodContext * context, size_t start, size_t end)
{
size_t j = 0;
- size_t count = context->ArraySize(context->GetArguments());
- for( size_t i = 1; i <= count; i++ )
+ for( size_t i = start; i <= end; i++ )
{
if ( argumentExists(i) )
{
argumentExists() applies only to the arguments passed to the native
method, and that includes any pseudo arguments in the specification.
The array returned by context->getArguments() only returns the
arguments that are actually passed on the method call by the user. If
there no pseudo arguments being used, these will match up. Any pseudo
arguments will mess things up. If you're dealing with the array
returned from context->GetArguments(), a more appropriate existence
test would be to test if the index position is NULLOBJECT.
