Went again thru the BSF4ooRexx code. Have not found anything, however a few observations: * When doing a RequestGlobalReference() on the argument array *and* its sole entry, then the program ran to the end without a problem. * Adding additional output statements (that also caused more c

[Oorexx-devel] Question ad GetAllContextVariables()

2017-02-22 Thread Rony G. Flatscher
While going thru the code I "stumbled" over the "excessive" use of GetAllContextVariables(). There is an external Rexx function in BSF4ooRexx that uses that API and immediately returns the directory it gets from GetAllContextVariables(). So I was wondering, whether it makes sense to look into t

I doubt that would be the source of the problem, but you do realize you can retrieve the context variables without calling an external function? Rick On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 6:33 AM, Rony G. Flatscher wrote: > While going thru the code I "stumbled" over the "excessive" use of > GetAllContextVar

Things with IBM did not work out (I was trying to get a non-expiring small business VM with Linux (SLES) on Z) (they stopped answering). But: I am happy to announce that the ooRexx for Linux on Z is up and running again due to a gracious donation of ICU-IT.NL, which has granted RexxLA use of a

[Oorexx-devel] Question about ooRexx Linux build machine

2017-02-22 Thread Michael Lueck
Greetings, So I believe the current "ooRexx build machine" is said to utilize Jenkins. Is that correct? So how does one go about setting up instances of various distros (Ubuntu) on it? Is it some sort of a virtual machine server that you can install your distro into, then have it run a build u

OK, in the meantime I updated ooRexx 5.0 to the current trunk version and rebuilt the debug version (still have problems with oodialog, which cannot be built as I reported a few days ago). There are two different stack traces that I am able to get repeatedly (one calling a Rexx program external

O.K., this may be a little bit weird: I can manage to have the test code run without an exception, repeatedly! Background: in the native code I have many, many output statements to stderr for debugging (tons over the years, controlled by defines) in the form of, e.g: fprintf(stderr, "...\t\
