	naively, I'd expect it to expand SCORE, then attempt to expand the expansion (I wouldn't expect that to do anything useful in this example) On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 11:38 AM Pete Goodeve wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 05, 2020 at 07:28:36PM +0200, joachim heintz wrote: > > there is an example of iain mccurdy in the csound floss manual which > > used to work, but now i get this error: > > > > defining argument `SCORE``i as...#1# > > Undefined macro: '$`SCORE``'defining argument `SCORE``i as...#2# > > Undefined macro: '$`SCORE``'sread: illegal opcode $ > > > > this is with > > --Csound version 6.14 (double samples) May 22 2020 > > [commit: 3e6c7ab20bfce8bd6f77de2dd91f3e614e991c1b] > > > > the code is attached. is this a bug? or is anything wrong with the score? > > > > I find that it works if I change the "$$i" in the first line of the macro > to "$i". > > The "$$SCORE" lines seem to be OK, but I don't understand the > double-$ use.

	I think it was probably an error, but that's just a guess. I recently dug a few of my old cabbages out of the attic, and one or two had the same issue... a stray $$ instead of $ kept everything from working. I found traces of this issue going back to changes made in ~2017: https://forum.cabbageaudio.com/t/effect-shaped-up/47/3 On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 2:38 PM Pete Goodeve <pete.goodeve@computer.org> wrote: On Fri, Jun 05, 2020 at 07:28:36PM +0200, joachim heintz wrote: > there is an example of iain mccurdy in the csound floss manual which > used to work, but now i get this error: > > defining argument `SCORE``i as...#1# > Undefined macro: '$`SCORE``'defining argument `SCORE``i as...#2# > Undefined macro: '$`SCORE``'sread: illegal opcode $ > > this is with > --Csound version 6.14 (double samples) May 22 2020 > [commit: 3e6c7ab20bfce8bd6f77de2dd91f3e614e991c1b] > > the code is attached. is this a bug? or is anything wrong with the score? > I find that it works if I change the "$$i" in the first line of the macro to "$i". The "$$SCORE" lines seem to be OK, but I don't understand the double-$ use.

	I'm pretty certain Iain's $$ was an error, easily overlooked prior to 6.09 since csound didn't complain. I know that was my case, and since logically there's no reason for it... seems like a safe assumption. As to why the overall behavior changed, I think jpff@ had done some reworking of macros at the time. I saw this: https://github.com/csound/csound/releases/tag/6.09.0 "Macro names better policed and bracket matching." I seem to vaguely remember a discussion about the changes breaking certain corner cases, but that those corners were usually exposing errors csound had been silent about before so it wasn't a big concern.
