Subject	[Cs-dev] string macro in score stopped working
	Hello It seems using macro for replacement in a string in the score has stopped working. This used to work before: #define scoreMac(N) # i1 0 1 "Number$N" # $scoreMac(3) in this case the string "Number3" should be used as p4, instead, the string is now literally "Number$N". This used to work earlier, I'm unsure of when it stopped working (sometime during the last year perhaps) If it's needed I will try to give a better estimate of when the error might have occured. Full test csd below, where I also implemented the same kind of string replacement as a orchestra macro (and that works fine). For me, running the example gives: SECTION 1: new alloc for instr 1: Number$N Number3 B 0.000 .. 1.000 T 1.000 TT 1.000 M: 0.0 Score finished in csoundPerform(). ... where the first printed line is the score macro and the second line is the orchestra macro best Oeyvind sr = 44100 ksmps = 100 #define orcMac(N) # Stest = "Number$N" # ;****************************************** instr 1 String1 strget p4 puts String1, 1 $orcMac(3) puts Stest, 1 endin ;****************************************** #define scoreMac(N) # i1 0 1 "Number$N" # $scoreMac(3) e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

	I know exactly when this happened; it was a result of a request. Issues are should macros be expanded in comments Should macro be expanded in strings Anywhere else that they should not nbe expanded/ The code exisys to do either -- it is a design issue.

	Hmm, If the behaviour was changed deliberately, in a way that breaks excisting orchestras, that would not be in line with our general policy of always keeping backward compatibility. I don't care so much if macros are expanded in comments or not (but I guess I would expect them not to be expanded), but I think macros should be expanded in strings, and most importantly the behaviour should be the same for score and orchesta macros. Would it be possible to use a special character (backspace?) to signify that special characters (like $) should be treated as string literals? That way we could have both options open. best Oeyvind 2011/2/18 : > I know exactly when this happened; it was a result of a request. > > Issues are should macros be expanded in comments > Should macro be expanded in strings > Anywhere else that they should not nbe expanded/ > > The code exisys to do either -- it is a design issue. > > Compare and contrast with C macros > > ==John ff > >> Hello >> >> It seems using macro for replacement in a string in the score has >> stopped working. >> This used to work before: >> >> #define scoreMac(N) # >> i1 0 1 "Number$N" >> # >> $scoreMac(3) >> >> in this case the string "Number3" should be used as p4, >> instead, the string is now literally "Number$N". >> >> This used to work earlier, I'm unsure of when it stopped working >> (sometime during the last year perhaps) >> If it's needed I will try to give a better estimate of when the error >> might have occured. >> >> Full test csd below, where I also implemented the same kind of string >> replacement as a orchestra macro (and that works fine). >> For me, running the example gives: >> SECTION 1: >> new alloc for instr 1: >> Number$N >> Number3 >> B 0.000 .. 1.000 T 1.000 TT 1.000 M: 0.0 >> Score finished in csoundPerform(). >> >> ... where the first printed line is the score macro and the second >> line is the orchestra macro >> >> best >> Oeyvind >> >> >> >> >> >> >> sr = 44100 >> ksmps = 100 >> >> #define orcMac(N) # >> Stest = "Number$N" >> # >> >> ;****************************************** >> instr 1 >> >> String1 strget p4 >> puts String1, 1 >> >> $orcMac(3) >> puts Stest, 1 >> >> endin >> ;****************************************** >> >> >> >> #define scoreMac(N) # >> i1 0 1 "Number$N" >> # >> $scoreMac(3) >> >> e >> >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: >> Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen. >> Find and fix more than 250 security defects in the development cycle. >> Locate bottlenecks in serial and parallel code that limit performance. >> http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel-dev2devfeb >> _______________________________________________ >> Csound-devel mailing list >> Csound-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/csound-devel >> >> >> > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: > Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen. > Find and fix more than 250 security defects in the development cycle. > Locate bottlenecks in serial and parallel code that limit performance. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel-dev2devfeb > _______________________________________________ > Csound-devel mailing list > Csound-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/csound-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
