I was wondering whether this function should use core files rather than temporary
disk ones. About four years ago we decided to move all CSD processing etc to
core files and it seems a shame to be putting it back

Where is this function?  i cannot find it, so not sure what the 
problem/solution id.

OK found it Txt -> Text

yes, that’s what I was thinking, but I wanted to ask Mike who is the author first.

The code for running a CSD file in csoundCompileCsd appears to be
quite entangled with the FILE object. That is why I did this, so that
I would not have to rewrite that code. I did not find on Widows a
function for opening a string or a memory buffer as a FILE. On Linux
it would be easy.

This also should handle all features of the CSD file format.

If you know some way of doing the whole performance off a corfile,
that would be better.

Mike

John has implemented cross-platform corfile facilities, so that could be used, if that is

So it looks like a FILE?

To be precise, I am talking about read_unified_file2 in
https://github.com/csound/csound/blob/develop/Top/one_file.c.

So this read_unified_file2 is not called?

Or does it need to be modified?

yes, it is called. I see what you mean.
I guess it needs a new function that does not open a disk file, 
but uses the corfil functionality. I understand the problem; it can be solved
but it needs extra work.

Suggests converting read_unified_file2 to use corfiles; as you say a 
little work but nit too much.  Keeps us away from filing systems 
especially on mobile devices.

All right, that's what I think too.

I suggest that the code should be refactored so that csoundCompileCsd
should just copy the contents of the disk file into a corfil and then
call csoundCompileCsdText.

yes, we will still need that step, as the standard Csound operation expects code to be on files.
