interesting, I think you found a bug in the Unix implementations!

The samples work as expected under Windows. On MacOSX and Linux however the "t" 
is missing, which
looks like a bug in the Unix implementation.

Could you please file a bug with ooRexx and just supply the programs 
(*filter1.rex, *filter2.rex,
*filter3.rex)?

Dear Rony, my bad, there must have been something wrong in my build. With a fresh build from today (11491) I got the (I think) expected results (attached). For the first time I also understand what to use it for. I use address  „bash“ or address ‚ksh‘ quite often and pipe to a file the results that I read into a stem or array, now I can get all that into a stem directly. NICE!One remark: I noticed that "this is not an error“ came over as "his is not an error“ (missing the initial „t“) in usefilter1-usefilter3, can you have a 2nd look? POs-12Core-Pro:addresswith po$ ls -al

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Address With and variable references in 5.0.0

2018-07-30 Thread Rony G. Flatscher 
Dear P.O.:

today I was able to overhaul the address-with samples a little bit to make sure 
that they execute
under Windows and MacOSX (previously they would run on Windows only).

Also, I added a few more samples and some comments and more output information 
to explain what the
different nutshell examples excercise/demonstrate. (If time permits, I will add 
a few more examples
tomorrow.)

HTH,

---rony

P.S.: This is talking about the samples in the subdirectory 
"examples.addressWith" from my Dropbox
which contains Windows and MacOSX versions of ooRexx 5.0 beta with "address 
with" and "variable
references" (cf. 
).

 My first reply bounced so here is another try:

 Dear Rony,

 This is just to inform that I have successfully created a fresh build for 
 version 11467 of
 ooRexx for Mac and successfully tested it with some of my own programs and 
 rexxcps. Runs as
 expected. In the coming days I will see if I can make a new pkg installer.

 That was the good news. The bad news is that I think it is not working as 
 it should with the
 newest features. I downloaded your examples and run them blindly and some 
 seems to work and
 others not. I will install the BSF/ooRexxx installer and compare the 
 output later.

 I am still using a tweaked version of cmakelists.txt so there might be 
 something there, I will
 investigate and come back.

 Attached the results of my runs

Dear P.O.,

being on a visit weekend trip I have not been able to come up with samples of 
address...with that work under Linux so far. However documentation and samples 
may be studied eg at  or in the 
docs of the Regina  interpreter from Sourceforge

ooRexx adds additional features, namely support for orderable collections,

Adding both, addressWith and variableReference to trunk would help expose it to 
a much wider
audience for experimenting with it once new betas got created from trunk. Both 
features are a real
boon for ooRexx, IMHO.

I'd really value this addition. With RFE#4 it's almost the oldest request
for enhancement that we have in our tracker.

I'll start doing the required changes for rexxref and rexxpg when returning

changes.

Today I was able to create (untested) Windows versions (32/64bit, with and 
without debug infos) of
ooRexx from the current trunk. Here is the Dropbox-link:

The trunk version does not include address with or variable references. For 
that Windows 64-bit
debug versions can be fetched from my Dropbox from:
.

All of these ooRexx installation packages will be available at least over the

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Address With and variable references in 5.0.0

2018-07-11 Thread Rony G. Flatscher 
In the meantime I updated Rick's sandbox 64-bit-Windows ooRexx debug versions 
for the "variable
references" and "address with" (added three simple Rexx examples there as well).

The URL remained the same (see at the bottom).

Yes, they still are there (I have a subdirectory with Rick's two sandbox 
versions, one "address
with" and one "reference", here is the URL:
.

Please note that there are a few little Rexx programs that experiment, "play" 
with the feature.

Also, please note the dates of the productions (64-bit Windows versions only), 
i.e. the version that
includes the variable reference feature was built on May 7th. Will try to find 
a time slot to update
the reference sandbox version as I saw that new commits have been applied to it 
in the past days.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Address With and variable references in 5.0.0

2018-07-09 Thread Rick McGuire 
Jon,

A variable reference is something that works the way people keep thinking
use arg works. There are basically three pieces to this:

1. A variable reference class that can hold a reference to a variable.
Using a variable reference instance, a variable value can be retrieved or
set.
2. A new operator (well, two actually) that creates an instance of a
variable reference object from the current execution context.
3. An extension to USE ARG that allows an argument to be specified as a
required variable reference. This type of argument creates a variable alias
in the caller.

Most of this is invisible to the caller, but, for example, suppose you want
to have a call where you have an error code that is returned and you also
wish to pass other information back if the call was successful. There are
many awkward solutions that people have used for this, but with the
variable references you can do this.

if myFunc(>info) == 0 then

The > prefix operator creates a reference to the variable info that is
passed to the caller. On the call target side, you would have

use arg >returnInfo

...
 returnInfo = result
return 0

Assigning something to returnInfo actually assigns the value to the
variable info back in the caller.  Because the thing that gets passed
around is an object instance, this call-by-reference type will also work
from native code.

This is not in trunk yet, only in the sandbox branch sandbox\rick\reference

You would need to build this yourself or I believe Rony had a build in his
dropbox someplace.

Hi Rick,

Can you (or someone else) explain in simple layman's terms what a variable
reference is and when one would want to use it, what's neat about it.

In order to test/use play with these do we just need the latest release of
5.0.0 or something more or different.

Sorry if either or both of these questions have been asked before - I
missed them.

thanks,

Jon
