[Oorexx-devel] Two questions ad exit-handlers on 3.2 and 4.0
Hi there, in news:comp.lang.rexx Erik Duijs posted a problem that relates to an RXSIO exit. Use-case: Using BSF4Rexx a Java program dispatches a Rexx script, which in turn uses Java to dispatch another Rexx program in the same thread. Each dispatch of a Rexx program from the Java side has currently the following logic: * RexxRegisterExitExe(..) is used to register an RXSIO exit handler for the UserArea argument a local character array is used which gets data stuffed into it in a FIFO-fashion, * RexxStart(...) gets a RXSYSEXIT list supplied that denotes that RXSIO exit handler, * RexxDeregisterExit() is used to deregister the RXSIO exit handler. Running under ooRexx 3.2 the invocation of another Rexx script via Java from the first Rexx script fails upon returning to the first Rexx script and writing something to stdout. However, running the same program under the latest build of ooRexx 4.0 will correctly run the program. It seems that ooRexx 4.0 is able to distinguish the RexxDerigsterExit() from each other (whereas in the ooRexx 3.2 case it seems that deregistering affects both interpreter instances and causes the exit failure by ooRexx). The question would be: can one rely on ooRexx 4.0 to deregister the matching (nested) exit handler? A second question: removing the RexxDerigsterExit(...) from the code allows the programs to run correctly under both, 3.2 and 4.0. Are there any side-effects one should consider if not deregistering the (continuously) registered exit handlers? ---rony -- ___ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel

The different in 4.0 is how Rexx is using the registered exit information. In 3.2.0, the exit handler was queried on each call to the handler, so deregistering the handler will cause an error, as you observed. In 4.0, the information about the handlers is resolved once at the RexxStart initial startup, and that entry point information is used for all calls. Deregistering the handler has no effect. The question would be: can one rely on ooRexx 4.0 to deregister the matching (nested) exit handler? No, the interpreter never deregisters a handler. A second question: removing the RexxDerigsterExit(...) from the code allows the programs to run correctly under both, 3.2 and 4.0. Are there any side-effects one should consider if not deregistering the (continuously) registered exit handlers? It depends on the type of hander being registered. If you are using RexxRegisterExitExe() (which you seem to be), then all of those exits will be deregistered when the process that registeres them terminates. If you're using the DLL form, then they are persistent. Thank you very much, indeed! ---rony -- ___ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel

So, I changed my dream. I decided then, what I really wanted to do was grow up and become a Software Developer, and have a real technical writer document my software for me. Even better: write the docs first (gets them out of the way). Let other people look at them too. When they're done, and as good as you think they'll get, then develop the software to match.
