While creating debug statements that should show the contents of argument
arrays I stumbled over the
following behaviour:
F:\tmp\>rexxtry
REXX-ooRexx_4.2.0(MT)_32-bit 6.04 22 Feb 2014
rexxtry.rex lets you interactively try REXX statements.
Each string is executed when you hit Enter.
Enter 'call tell' for a description of the features.
Go on - try a few... Enter 'exit' to end.
a=.array~of(.object~new,.object~new);say a; say "a~makeString:"
a~makestring; say "a~toString:" a~toString("l",',')
an Array
a~makeString:
*a~toString: ,*
........................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT
a=.array~of("abc","def");say a; say "a~makeString:" a~makestring; say
"a~toString:" a~toString("l",',')
an Array
a~makeString: abc def
*a~toString: abc,def*
........................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT
a=.array~of(.object~new,"def");say a; say "a~makeString:" a~makestring; say
"a~toString:" a~toString("l",',')
an Array
a~makeString: def
*a~toString: ,def*
........................................... rexxtry.rex on WindowsNT
In ooRexx 4.2.0 it seems that when creating the string from the content of an
array using the
.array's toString() method the required string value of non-string objects is
not requested. As a
(somewhat misleading) result non-string entries in the array are not
displayed/shown, as if they did
not exist. This looks like a bug, given, that the documentation (also 5.0.0)
does not point out that
surprising behaviour.
Before filing a bug in the tracker I would like to know, what the desired
behaviour should be. Or
with other words, is this a bug or a shortcome in the documenation of the
toString method in the
.array class?
Any comments?
