Hi!
I’m working on Mac OSX 10.11.6, with Xcode 8.2.1. I am reporting here a bug that I mentioned in a different thread, but was possibly not considered. I am using a custom conversion function in a NormalisableRange, and for some reasons, this function is called hundreds of times with no interaction from the user. I reduced the source code to the simplest possible, using a single slider, and a single parameter:
parameters.createAndAddParameter (
"param", // parameterID
"Param", // parameter name
"", // parameter label (suffix)
NormalisableRange<float> (
0.0f,
100.0f,
[](float start, float end, float v) {
cntcv01toVal++;
return start + (end - start) * v;
},
[](float start, float end, float v) {
cntcvValTo01++;
return (v - start) / (end - start);
}
), // range
0.0f, // default value
[] (float p) { cntdblToStr++; return dbEdit(p, 3); },
[] (String str) { cntstrToDbl++; return strToDbl(str);}
);
The various functions I use do trivial things, but count the number of times they are called, and the count is printed in the plugin destructor.
As a test, I just launch the plugin in Xcode, and immediately close it with no other interaction.
I have compiled the plug-in with JUCE 5.3.2 and the latest develop branch of 5.4.1. Here are the traces:
JUCE v5.3.2
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessor 1.0.0 ->
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessor<-
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor->
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor<-
**** ~OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor*
**** ~OrangejuceAudioProcessor*
---- Counters: cntdblToStr=0 cntstrToDbl=0
---- cntcv01toVal=1 cntcvValTo01=1
JUCE v5.4.1
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessor 1.0.0 ->
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessor<-
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor->
**** OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor<-
**** ~OrangejuceAudioProcessorEditor*
**** ~OrangejuceAudioProcessor*
---- Counters: cntdblToStr=1 cntstrToDbl=0
---- cntcv01toVal=5 cntcvValTo01=272
As you can see, with the same code and the same interaction, one conversion function is called 272 times in JUCE 5.4.1, and only once in JUCE 5.3.2. There is clearly a problem, that most people may not have noticed because computers are so fast nowdays…
I attach here the whole source code, so you may try to reproduce the problem:
