Ah, ok. You use "push" for global overriding. My understanding of "push" was that the caller would push his numeric settings on to a required/called program. yes, sorry for the confusion. The latter, demonstrated with your set of programs, adding "::options noGlobalOverride" to myPackageDigits2.cls: ... This will inhibit breaking the invariant in myPackageDigits2.cls by a global options override. Yes. In addition to Dom's debugger, I think this declaration should be added in * dateParser.cls, because...

A global override, if any, can only change inherit to noinherit or vice versa. That's the point! If I push "::options numeric inherit" then I can impose my own numeric settings. # no problem rexx main.rex # no problem rexx -o "::options numeric inherit" main.rex # Who broke my invariant? rexx -og "::options numeric inherit" main.rex main.rex ::options digits 4 ::requires "myPackageDigits2.cls" myPackageDigits2.cls call check_invariant ::options digits 2 ::options numeric noinherit ::routine check_invariant...

Thanks for your feedback Rony. This will be my last message in favor of “pulling” rather than “pushing”; I think this email covers everything I wanted to share.

you may need a lot of lookahead to decide what is the nature of an instruction. In Classic Rexx, you could do that with only two tokens.

There is indeed a lot of lookahead at point 4) // get the first token of the clause RexxToken *first = nextReal(); 1) // a :: at the start of a clause is a directive, which ends this execution block. if (first->isType(TOKEN_DCOLON))...

Is it documented anywhere? I asked if such a documentation exists. https://chatgpt.com/share/69408365-0404-8007-a813-bc0429a3f96d I'm not sure that the conclusion is pertinent, because there is this assumption: the order of description in the doc implies the same order when parsing... And the conclusion based on thi assumption is: The key rule in ooRexx’s parser is the instruction type hierarchy: * Message instructions (including message send via the ~ operator) * Keyword instructions (e.g. ARG,...

Seems to be the normal behavior... Even if not obvious at first sight. rexxref: Any object requiring initialization at creation time must define an INIT method. If this method is defined, the class object runs the INIT method after the object is created. myArray = .typedArray~new('Will') Here, the typedArrayclass doesn't have a new method. So the new method of Array is called. Implemented by the native method ArrayClass::newRexx. This method creates the array, using the argument 'Will' (error). Once...

same here, not being a math person. If I’m not wrong, you plan to do up to 10e15 calculations, store each result in the stem vaf. and check if the current result has been already obtained. Even if you simplify the script by not storing the calculations, and just checking if the current result is equal to the initial seed, you will need years of calculation (unless your parameters give a short period). I’m curious to know why you don't use one of the families of parameter described by Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator...

It’s the “otherwise” part : InterpreterInstance::loadRequires(package) if the interpreter instance has already the package in its cache (with short or full name) then return immediatly. otherwise ask the package manager to load it run the prolog (always, even if the package was already in the static cache of PackageManager) If this is modified to no longer run the prolog, then I think BSF will no longer be initialised correctly when running several interpreters.

If my understanding of the API is correct, the string is also protected by the context you are using to call Merge_2_Blobs. If you call your function 10 times using the same context, then your 10 strings are protected against GC.
