Global Cables Don't Work when compiled

@Christoph-Hart

oof, yeah that would be really great wouldn't it.
I haven't, but i'll look into it. I may have to pester him about it directly : )
I've been having some silly dependency issues, even getting it work normally. I'm new to cmake and it's not super fun to learn it xD

I'll see if I can get that to happen.

@Christoph-Hart

mmm, the people in the Audio Programmer Discord aren't recommending it XD
It does look like a big amount of pain

@griffinboy What about the yup framework as an alternative? I imagine the integration to HISE would be somewhat complicated as well.

I have been meaning to get my hands dirty with it but I have only scratched the surface so far.

I definitely like the idea of a High-Performance Panel however, it would let us experiment with more advanced graphics without requiring a complete overhaul of HISE's graphic's framework.

[Christoph Hart]

@griffinboy yeah that was also my initial assessment.

@Christoph-Hart

They said it would be better to overhaul using bgfx directly xD
Yeah, not a small task probably. Ah well.

@Christoph-Hart

well, all hope is not lost lol

you are correct Global Cables DONT work in compiled scriptnode

...

I think the issue that @griffinboy is having is if you load these networks into another scriptnode network (instead of loading the compiled effect into a hardcoded effect), but that's another problem and (potentially exotic edge case which you can easily work around).

I don't understand why it would be "exotic edge case" here, and how you can work around this... Seems rather a normal workflow to me...

I have a compiled node in a network, that is (I think) busy enough to justify a compilation too...
And then my global cables won't work...

What can I do?

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart And aside of this we still have some nodes like cable_expr that are requiring the network to be compiled for the plugin to export.

I could transform it into a C++ node with another global_cable, but since it prevents the network to be compilable...

This causes quite annoying frictions

[Christoph Hart]

@ustk can you rearrange your setup so that the global cables are in the outermost network that you compile?

I haven‘t checked / tested the global cable initialisation in C++ nodes to be recursive so it might fail if you try to wrap another node that uses a global cable. Can you check with a simple two level nest test if that‘s the case?

Sorry but I don't understand. My C++ nodes are in the middle of the graph.
Do you mean in the root container?
I tested anyway and same thing, the hardcoded FX rejects it.
