<https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/825/> was updated:
Taking into account the discussions on the developer list of the last months and years, an implementation got created that reflects the comments (no environment variable, not forcing Rexx programmers to either or trace formats, making it as flexible as possible, allowing the Rexx programmer to come up with his own formatting and the like). Basically the discussed idea of some TraceObject containing trace related information (like the condition object that contains all condition related information) got implemented. The makeString method delegates to the class method makeStringImpl. This (after exploring other options from intercepting .traceOutput to subclassing and even mixinclassing it) solution makes it very easy on Rexx programmers to come up with their own trace formats, if need be: one merely receives the traceObject and returns the string that should be used as the formatted traceline. Then the Rexx programmer can use the class method setMakeString to set to the new trace formating (and unsetMakeString to cancel it). As discussed on the developer list there are also different predefined trace formats that can be simply chosen by the Rexx programmer by setting the TraceObject's class attribute "option" to it (defaults to N, normal trace format). The proposed documentation is part of the attached readme.txt file. The attached zip archive includes sample Rexx programs that try to demonstrate some of the most important points of the implementation. The patch is attached as "20240205_1522.diff" and can be applied to the current trunk. <https://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/tmp/20240128_mt/> carries all the attached files as well. In addition it contains a 64-bit debug Windows version of ooRexx that already is compiled with the diff/patch applied to it.
