GOTOS list is full..extending

SubjectGOTOS list is full..extending
Hi-

Here is another one I've run into before, but can't work around this time.
I get the message "GOTOS list is full..extending" and then the allocation
of instr 2 (which has the many if statements) fails and csound returns.

Any idea what's going wrong here?  I guess it's a mrealloc failure somewhere
but don't really have the time to track the bug down.

I hit the same bug on both GOTOS and LABELS. Changing the macro defines and 
recompiling will work around  it, but the mrealloc is still a problem.

Looks like I may have got the GOTO extention wrong.  I will take a
look.
  A "simple" fix is to change the base allocation size if you are
working from the sources.

	Yes, the Mills version only runs on PPC's so you should continue
to keep the old 68k version updated.

HOWEVER:

the "front-end" launcher for the Mills version does compile for 68k fine,
so it might be useful to strip off the interface on the 68k version and
add the apple event file....

you wouldn't get to play the sound, or pause/stop the generaion nicely, or 
be able to scroll the function window.  but would still get many other
improvements.

Hi, my name is Matt and it would appear that both this link:

 The ftp site is at ftp.hmc.edu /pub/csound

and these...

 FAQ is at http://coos.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/Csound/Csound.faq.html
 http://music.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/wCsound/csoundpage.html


...are out of date.  Hate to join a new mailing list without reading the
FAQ, but an AltaVista source turns up no valid sites.  What's the current
status these days?

oh, hey folks!


i should mention that Martin's Csound page
is down because of a hard disk failure, but the
music.dartmouth.edu site will be back up soon.


sorry, if that hung anyone up.  Were all
in the midst of thesis hell here, so it has
taken longer than usual.

Huh, looks like they finally axed that directory -- I haven't been
there for a couple of years.  It never really got off the ground anyway.

The latter works for me, and has a working link to a version of the FAQ
(which says it was last modified in '95, by the way).  

 is a pretty good
starting point, too.

aha, timing is critical!  seems the main page is back:
http://music.dartmouth.edu/~dupras/wCsound/csoundpage.html

A big 'thanks' to the folks who took time out from their thesis sessions to
get the page back online!

Is that meant to be :

a) Nyquist, Theory and Soul Management

.. in which case, who appointed you as Mr. Nyquist's guru / religious
advisor?

or, 

b) Nyquist Theory and [its applications in] Soul Management 

.. So when I do something not worthy of my character, can I blame it on
aliasing?



Just wondering...

I think blaming character flaws on aliasing would, unfortunately, only
strike a chord with a crowd that would then tell you to use anti-aliasing
filters.  And then the sudden realization would set in that us tech heads
need to get out more.  ;-) 

no one has ever noticed my goofy sig.  guess I should take a moment
then.  Uh... well... it's part my total fascination with sound in general,
the fascination with the concept of the Nyquist frequency, and a tribute
to the man himself.

It's also part joke about myself--influenced by a guy at work who poked a
bit of fun at the strange lyrics of the Front 242 I would listen to.
(Soul Manager is a track from Tyranny for You)

Anyway, now that that's out of the way, I hope to post MUCH more relevant
stuff to the list in the future (most likely in the form of questions) as I
start to delve into Csound.  I've printed out the postscript version of the
manual and I'm trying to hack into it now.  

Would anyone care to comment on how/why they use Csound?

Subject: gen routines

I wonder if someone out there could help clear some confusion on my part
concerning gen routines.

I have been staring at the manual for days and I still can't really make
heads or tails of it.

for example (using the toot1 example in the manual)

toot1.orc
  instr1
        a1   oscil   10000,  440, 1
                out a1
  endin

toot1.sco

f1  0  4096  10  1
i1  0  4
e

the manual comments on the f1 as using gen1 to compute a sine wave.   My
question is this sine wave actually becomes part of the sound?  and if this
is the case, why is it NOT included in the *.orc file?   I understood the
*.sco file to be basically the notes to be played, not to further define the
instrument.

thanks   any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Much as I dislike disagreeing with my friend Richard, ANSI C says that
fopen returns NULL if the open fails for any reason.  fopen returns a
variable of type FILE*, and any C compiler must arrange that the
result is only NULL (usually zero) when there is an error.

I think you are confusing fopen with open(2), which returns -1 for an
error, but in not an ANSI function.

On UNIX of course a file descriptor of zero is standard input, and so
would not be returned by open(2).

However Richard is correct that a file descriptor in UNIX can be zero,
and as this function only exists elsewhere as a sop to unix hackers,
it is a bug.
