[Csnd] Defining macros

	At present macros can only be defined in the orc, score or the command line. There has been a request for macro definitions to be allowed in .csound6rc (and also in .csound7rc) file. Can anyone see any objection? I have code that appears to work but I suspect there was a reason for this as it is deliberate in the code. ==John ffitch Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here

	Only issue that comes to my mind is portability. Would that matter?

	I think it is OK in that way.. csound?rc is done first so is low priority. ⁣ On 24 Aug 2023, 09:44, at 09:44, Richard Dobson wrote: >Only issue that comes to my mind is portability.

	Trying to frame this in my head to understand, it's kind of curious to put macros at the system level (.csound6rc) vs project-level (i.e, CsOptions) or at run-time (command-line). Do macros get overridden if a user sets it in .csound6rc then sets it on command-line?

	I believe that macros afe pushed ionto a list; when it ids called there is a linear search so if defined twice the second oned id used. This is exploited in dealing with arhguments to macros which can be recursive. I assue the desire for macros defined in .csound?rc is to have sme renaming of opcodes for ones musical language. I suspect itv is harmless. ==John ff Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here
