hello all,

i am refactoring an orchestra around arrays and it seems the i() values of
gk arrays are not available at i-time the first time an instrument runs. 

please run attached .csd where the first value is reported as 0 on the first
run, then 1 for subsequent instances of the same instrument (like the
behaviour of non-initialized k variables).

is this normal? (i am expecting a 1). 

if so, is there a different approach available to init from a gk array?

thanks,
alex.

If you're reading a value from a k[] array at init-time, you should
use i(karr, index):

ah! thanks for that!

if the behaviour of i(karr[n]) -- produces unpredictable results, wouldn't
be pertinent to emit a warning?

and perhaps the manual's INITIALIZATION AND PERFORMANCE PASS section (which
i've re-read a couple of times) could document the k array case...

alex.

you probably mean the csound floss manual (which should not be confused 
with the real csound reference manual).  good idea; i have added a 
sentence after example 03A07:
http://write.flossmanuals.net/csound/a-initialization-and-performance-pass/

(it was already mentioned in the arrays chapter of the floss manual.)

Latest code flags this as an error
