Re: [Oorexx-devel] RFC: suggestion a solution for getting the caller stackframe of a spawning activity

One thing you've missed is that there are situations where there is no spawning activation. For example, from native code, I can attach a thread, create a message object and send it a START message. In that situation, there is no activation to create a stack frame from. Also, the stack frame in que

No, the flags should still be there. Those are for the benefit of anybody making the upgrade. However, removing them from the trunk version should be added to the release process checklist. Rick On Mon, Dec 19, 2022 at 10:13 AM Gilbert Barmwater wrote: > I have downloaded and installed the 5.0.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] 4.2/5.0 Coexistence on Windows

Details: 1) Install both versions. 2) in the command line where you want to run oorexx, set the path to point to the appropriate version. 3) Run that version. The big issue with using multiple versions was always rxapi. With that problem being resolved in 5.0.0, the two versions can happily coexi

Re: [Oorexx-devel] ooRexx /dev/null for redirected command handler

-1. This would require a change to the .Monitor class beyond it's original intent. However, this is easily accomplished already with a simple custom class: ::class nullOutput ::method say ::method linout Use that as the target and the output will be discarded. Rick On Sat, Dec 3, 2022 at 1:22 P

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Problem with redirected command handler

Or more specifically, the targets identified with ADDRESS WITH are reevaluated in the current context each time a command is issued. If the variable context has changed, ARRAYOUTPUT evaluates to a string object, which is not a valid output target. Rick On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 9:12 AM Erich Steinb

Nothing. If redirection is not active, then ooRexx is not handling the input and output. Rick On Sat, Sep 3, 2022 at 5:21 AM Rony G. Flatscher wrote: > In a redirection handler it may be the case that redirection is not active > for the invocation > (isRedirectionRequested() returns false). > >

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Question ad ADDRESS keyword statement

No, it should not, at least not the way you are expecting. This falls into the address expression branch of the syntax diagram, which can only be used to change the current address target and not to issue a command. The new address environment is set to "TEST ping", the result of evaluating the e

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Ad WriteOutput(), ErrorOutput()

They absolutely do not add linends to the date. The supplied data gets converted into a string and is appended to the array with no additional processing. If there are extra linends, it's because you left them on the line before making the call. WriteError() and WriteOutput() assume you have done a

One question and a couple of suggestions. - Is the AttachThread() being done on the same instance as the originating rexx code where the call on syntax was made or a different instance. - The method NativeActivation::checkConditions() is where the raised exceptions are processed when your external
