Comment... Question: Have you ever thought to keep all global vars in one structure instead of g_barman? Asked by Jeremy, the kid (178.147.28.x) on March 1 2013, 10:13pm Reply on March 1 2013, 10:21pm (edited at March 1 2013, 10:29pm): Reasons against a global struct storing all global vars: You usually only initialize some of them to values other than 0 -- if using a single struct, the 0 variables will be encoded as 0s in the binary, whereas with individual variables the linker can put all 0-initialized values in the BSS. The file that defines that struct will probably be a pain to merge. I don't really see the upside. As a side note, I absolutely insist on all structs/classes that have non-trivial methods to have their member data begin with m_. Having to work with code that does not do this is completely maddening. Using g_ and s_ prefixes for global / static data is also a must*, and generally never causes any problem for me (even if sometimes you end up at the top level with 'static int g_foo' or 'int s_foo' which is misleading). * Note: static data without the s_ prefix is OK to me if the scope of that data is very small Comment... Question: Do you have to rewrite a lot of stuff for these midi/strech markers updates? How exhausting it is, code wise? Asked by Martin (93.136.33.x) on March 1 2013, 3:12pm Reply on March 1 2013, 10:19pm: The midi editor stuff probably has a lot more rewriting than the stretch markers.. stretch markers don't add that much code, just gotta get it tweaked to work right. Comment... Question: Have you ever thought about turning Cockos's talents to guitar amp/cab/analogue modelling vsts, in addition to ReaFX? Asked by Mick (203.149.85.x) on March 1 2013, 3:06am Reply on March 1 2013, 2:47pm: Nah, best to stay focused. Comment... Question: Do you find yourself as curious today as you were at 17? (i.e. "no one told me I couldn't do that" mentality) Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 28 2013, 6:41pm Reply on March 1 2013, 2:48pm: I probably am less inclined to do something that will be a ton of work now, but that's less about curiosity and more about laziness (and having better judgment of the scale of things before starting, maybe). Comment... Question: Any interest in musical hardware projects? Asked by ees. (69.15.110.x) on February 26 2013, 12:25pm Reply on February 28 2013, 6:36pm: Yeah, fun stuff, but beyond for fun, too much work. Comment...
