[Oorexx-devel] Questions ad an object being used by a different RexxInstance ...
Given two different RexxInstances R1 and R2 running in the same process. In R1 an object O1 is created and saved in .environment. Two questions ad RexxInterpreter context: 1. If from R2 an interaction occurs with O1 (addressed via .environment), in which context does O1 execute, in R1 (the creator RexxInterpreterInstance) or in R2 (the invoker RexxInterpreterInstance)? 2. If R1 is terminated, but R2 interacts with O1 (addressed via .environment), in which context does O1 execute, in R1 (the creating RexxInterpreterInstance, but terminated) or in R2 (the invoking RexxInterpreterInstance)? ---rony -- Crystal Reports #45; New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty#45;free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects___ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
Re: [Oorexx-devel] Tracked down problem with: compiler, Vista, ?
This looks like a classic optimizer bug to me. For some reason, the
code generator has obviously decided it can used a cached version of
the data pointer for the if test rather than reloadingbut it
appears to make that decision only for the if test. It might be
interesting to try declaring that value as volatile and see if things
change.

Rick,
In working on the SysFileSearch bug, I tracked down what seems to be a
case where the VS 2005 compiler produces wrong code and the VS 2008
produces code that works.
It's bizarre, so it takes a bit to explain it. On Vista 64-bit, the
GetLine() function causes a memory exception here:
scan = (char *)memchr(filedata-scan, CH_NL, filedata-data);
The exception comes because it has gone past the end of the file
buffer. The check for the end of the buffer is right before, and the
whole thing looks like:
if (!(filedata-data)) { /* if out of current buffer */
if (filedata-residual) { /* may be another buffer */
ReadNextBuffer(filedata); /* try to read one */
if (!filedata-data) /* nothing more? */
return true; /* all done */
}
else
return true; /* return EOF condition */
}
/* look for a carriage return */
scan = (char *)memchr(filedata-scan, CH_NL, filedata-data);
filedata-data keeps track of where in the buffer we are and when it
is 0, we've used up the buffer.
The bizarre thing is, when I compile with Visual Studio 2005, when
filedata-data == 0, the if !(filedata-data) test passes and the
function keeps going on past the end of the buffer. Eventually,
memchr goes to compare memory it can't access.
If I compile with Visual Studio 2008, then things work as they should.
This is with the no debug build only. The debug build works fine
when compiled with either VS 2005 or VS 2008.
I sent you a text file with a lot output. It is easier to read when
the lines don't wrap.
I used this printf to show this behaviour:
printf(GetLine: size=%u scan=%p filedata-data=%u residual=%u
filedata-data == 0 ? %d\n,
filedata-size, filedata-scan, filedata-data,
filedata-residual, (filedata-data == 0));
For the build that crashes you see this:
GetLine: size=31452 scan=001E9FDC filedata-data=0 residual=0
filedata-data == 0 ? 0
GetLine: size=31452 scan=001EE48D filedata-data=4294949711
residual=0 filedata-data == 0 ? 0
You see that even though filedata-data does equal 0, (filedata-data
== 0) returns 0.
So, SysFileSearch keeps calling GetLine() until you finally reach
memory that is not accessible.
This only happens on Vista 64-bit, only on a no debug build, and only
when the compiler is VS 2005. On XP 64-bit it works fine with either
compiler. Also on 32-bit Vista it works fine with either compiler.
If there was the same problem on Vista 32 bit, i.e. it crashed with
the VS 2005 compiled version but worked with the VS 2008, then I was
thinking maybe a similar thing is happening with Mike's problem.
Still, if Mike can not reproduce his problem using the VS 2008
compiled version, then maybe it is a similar thing.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Questions ad an object being used by a different RexxInstance ...
I'm not sure this question makes any sense. An interaction on an object occurrs in the context of where the interaction is triggered. Objects are just data, and have no knowledge of where they have been created. If one instance stores an object in .environment (generally a bad practice), then it is just an object that's available for any instance. It will remain alive until the global Rexx environment is terminated. Rick On Sun, Apr 26, 2009 at 6:32 AM, Rony G.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Tracked down problem with: compiler, Vista, ?
It's starting to look like upgrading to VS 2008 might be a winner for
this. I'm more willing to make this change than switch to the new
version of SysFile. Can the two version coexist on the same machine,
or do I need to uninstall 2005 first?

The reason for asking is this: if having multiple RexxInterpreterInstances running for different Java objects, and if one wishes to allow Java to interact with proxy Rexx objects (in the JNI layer), do I have to use the cached RexxInterpreterInstance (in the JNI layer) from which the proxied Rexx objects come from originally, or is it o.k. to use any present RexxInterpreterInstance to attach to and then forwarding the Rexx proxy object messages from Java. This is about contemplating of allowing Java to interact with Rexx objects in a general way (not only for event handlers) and sending them messages. If I understood your answer correctly, then it does not matter which RexxInterpreterInstance I would use to send messages to cached (in the JNI layer) Rexx objects. (Also assuming, that once all RexxInterpreterInstances got terminated, no such invocation should be allowed anymore, but throw an exception.) ---rony -- Crystal Reports #45; New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty#45;free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel

Re: [Oorexx-devel] I/O again
I know exactly what you mean. The first few times I saw the error 'RAY' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I thought I'd just mistyped something. I don't even have any theories on how/why this is happenng based on the symptoms we're seeing. I have enough debug evidence from the times I have been able to reproduce this to be very certain the bad character is coming directly from the CRT _read() function. At least in my situation, everything was single threaded. I do have a questions for you Mike. I've only ever seen this on a first read. Have you ever seen the overlay occur in any place other than the first character or a line? Have you noticed any pattern as to things you might have done *before* the command with the overlay?

[Oorexx-devel] Experimenting security checks option
After reading this MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289171.aspx I decided to test these options, and modified orxwin32mak like that (added security_check) : !IF $(NODEBUG) == 1 security_check = /GS ... !ELSE security_check = /GS /RTCc /RTCs /RTCu ... !ENDIF cflags_common=/EHsc /nologo /D:_X86_ /DWIN32 $(VER_DEF) $(WARNING_FLAGS) -c $(my_cdebug) $(security_check) $(MK_ASM) $(RXDBG) /DNULL=0 I had my first security error when running the base\class\string testsuite, but it can be ignored : it's because of the /RTCc option which makes the runtime complain when casting to (char) in encodeBase64. I bypassed the errors by and-ing with 0xFF, as explained in the error message. The rest of the tests in base\class pass without error, including Stream.testGroup (I saw Ricks'call for test cases, I will try to write some, but probably not before next WE). concurency : ok directives : ok expressions : ok keyword : ok rexxutil : KO The second security error ocurs when running SysDriveMap.testGroup. The fifth and sixth call to SysDriveMap raises this error : Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'DeviceName' was corrupted In both cases, the call is self~assertNotNull(SysDriveMap(,'local')) I can't find what's wrong with these two calls, and maybe I loose my time for nothing, but... runtime.objects : ok source.file : ok special.variables : ok No security error when running Mike's getc.rex script...

In rexxutil.cpp, the DeviceName variable is too small: CHAR DeviceName[3]; ... sprintf(DeviceName, %c:\\, dnum+'A'-1); sprintf() will always append a null, so we have something like C:\ and no space for the null. sprintf() will place it at DeviceName[3] which is probably where the security error comes from, a buffer overrun. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Crystal Reports #45; New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty#45;free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
