The message about expending the local pool apears when ever teh number
of local variables is such that the space allocated is insufficient.
It does not mean much (expect that my mechanism is actually working)
beyond you having a large number of different variable names in your
orchestra.
There is an argument for switching this message off; I am just still
pleased to see that the method works.
Similarly the "extending Floating pool to 800" relates to space for
the number of constants in your orchestra.
We are faced here with a compromise. Most orchestras do not need to
extend teh pool, and so the small allocation chosen is clearly
correct. For a few people, for example additive synthesis fanatics,
the initial allocatiosn are always too small. Apart from directing
them to the number to change in the sources I do not have a good
solution. One could extend the pool in an exponential or Fibonnacci
way so the time spent extending is reduced for large users, at an
additional cost for moderate use.
i hope that explains it. It is not an error, but a warning. It only
costs at orchestra translation time.
As ever, advice on a better way to do it is welcome.
