Error message seems pointless

#1

I’ve gotten this error a number of times, but it doesn’t make sense to me because the code functions as it should.

WARNING: x_range: perf-time code in global space, ignored

and the offending code… (the whole array is not included)

gSfms_ranges[][] = fillarray(\
    x_range(-1, 1, 0, 1, 0.001),\
    x_range(0, 10000, 1, 1, 1),\
    x_range(1, 10000, 2, 1, 1),\
    x_range(0, 5000, 0, 1, 1),\
    x_range(0, 1, 0, 1, 0.001),\
    x_range(0, 1000, 0, 1, 1)\
...
)

and x_range is defined as…

opcode x_range, S, iiiii
    iMin, iMax, iVal, iSkew, iIncr xin
    xout sprintf("range(%f, %f, %f, %f, %f)", iMin, iMax, iVal, iSkew, iIncr)
endop

Is it safe to ignore this particular instance of this error?

#2

The following gives me no such warnings? Maybe it’s something else in the code that’s triggering the warning?

opcode x_range, S, iiiii
    iMin, iMax, iVal, iSkew, iIncr xin
    xout sprintf("range(%f, %f, %f, %f, %f)", iMin, iMax, iVal, iSkew, iIncr)
endop


gSfms_ranges[][] = fillarray(\
    x_range(-1, 1, 0, 1, 0.001),\
    x_range(0, 10000, 1, 1, 1),\
    x_range(1, 10000, 2, 1, 1),\
    x_range(0, 5000, 0, 1, 1),\
    x_range(0, 1, 0, 1, 0.001),\
    x_range(0, 1000, 0, 1, 1))

#3

Should I post this to the Csound mailing list? It seems that there are a number of false error messages. Or maybe it’s just me! :wink:

#4

But I’m not seeing those warnings here. Are you running things from the command line or all from within Cabbage?

#5

Within cabbage.

#6

Does the code I posted above trigger warning messages for you?

#7

Yes, I get the same warning.

#8

That’s odd. I wonder why we are seeing this differences. I’m on an M1 machine but I can’t imagine that makes any difference.

#9

I assume you are using the version of Csound that you bundle with Cabbage. I feel like this is one issue that we all fight. Things don’t appear to perform the same way from device to device, system to system, and user to user!

#10

Actually I’m using my own build of Csound. But it should still work the same
