[Csnd] csound~ for Windows: Update

Subject[Csnd] csound~ for Windows: Update
Hi All,

I've been chasing a crashing bug with csound~ on Windows.  Turns out
that I have been building on my system here without -mstackrealign.
This is in Michael's build instructions but it was not a default part
of the build.  When adding that flag, csound~ was no longer crashing
for the example I was testing.

As this flag is essential and not really something that is just "good
to have", I have modified the CMakeLists.txt file in the develop
branch to force usage of -mstackrealign.  I don't know if this is
covering up a bigger issue with memory alignment, but for now it is
working.  I suspect that the csound~ test version I had made available
earlier will work just fine with Michael's 6.02 release.

At this time, I think csound~ on Windows is in usable condition. It
will need an installer but that is next on the list.  It would be good
if this is included with the Windows Csound installer for 6.03.

Thanks!
steven

I don't think this is covering up any problems with memory alignment, at least not with CsoundVST, which requires 8 bit packing for the aeffect structure that is enforced with pragmas in aeffect.h

You might want to check the sfont opcodes.

Best,
Mike
