DLL build error..

Lindon

So I'm trying to build my scriptFX nodes into a DLL, so I set them all to Allow Compile and started the compile:

I get this error:

d:\hise\hi_dsp_library\dsp_nodes\routingnodes.h(201): error C2229: struct 'scriptnode::cable::block<0,1>' has an illega
l zero-sized array (compiling source file ..\..\Source\Main.cpp) [F:\Audio\Channel Robot\Hise_Dev_work\Vibe\DspNetworks
\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\Vibe_DynamicLibrary.vcxproj]

So I deleted all the headers, and even deleted every thing in:

F:\Audio\Channel Robot\Hise_Dev_work\Vibe\DspNetworks\Binaries\Builds

still the same result...

Any ideas?

d.healey

@Lindon Does that network require external input from another HISE module?

Lindon

@d-healey Which network? routingnodes? I dont even have a network called that

d.healey

@Lindon Is there more to the error message that reveals which network is causing the issue?

Lindon

@d-healey I cant see anything, I've cleaned up the old unused xml - for nodes not included any more - like all the test nodes - and I'm slowly adding in nodes an compiling to see which is the problem child...

Lindon

@Lindon -- OK found the culprit - its Merge2

-- which in your video you didnt compile - but I cant see any external dependencies...

so what would they be? Any pointers?

d.healey

@Lindon Oh yeah that one gave me an error, so I decided not to compile it for "educational purposes" I remember there was a multi node in there that was showing up red but I didn't investigate further.

Christoph Hart

This is a compile error from a send / receive node where the channel count doesn't match (or is unused).

Try removing all send / receive nodes until you find the culprit.

Oh yeah that one gave me an error, so I decided not to compile it for "educational purposes" I remember there was a multi node in there that was showing up red but I didn't investigate further.

Ah yes that explains it. If you have a multinode that has more child elements than channels, it will not be able to figure out a sane channel distribution and one child node ends up with zero channels, which then messes the send / receive connections.

Bottom line: If it's red, it's an error :)

Lindon

@Christoph-Hart - its not red here...

heres the xml for the node(there are 5 stereo channels being passed in):

@Lindon Then you need to set the CompileChannelAmount to 10 (5*2) (where you set the AllowCompilation flag) before exporting.

A compiled network has a static amount of channels (and the hardcoded FX module you'll load this into also needs to have 10 active channels or it will throw an error).

Matt_SF

@Lindon you're using a container.multi somewhere. Maybe this one is the culprit : if you merge a 'one channel send' into a '2 channels receive' you'll get an error. You probably wanted to you use a container.split instead.

Lindon

@Christoph-Hart Well this is becoming more frustrating than poking yourself in the eye with a stick... so now I have replaced all the Script FX nodes that have been compiled with their HardCodedMasterFx versions, and it all works fine in HISE, but when I come to compile my project I get this error:

..and DryLWR is most assuredly compiled, and working....as a HardCodedMasterFX, but its called something different in the HardCodedMasterFX where in the drop down its called "just" LWR

so how do I sort out this mis-match?

Christoph Hart

@Lindon Check if there is a mismatch between the XML filename and the root container's ID.

Lindon

@Christoph-Hart - yep checked that is the same, also changed the node ID to the same as well>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Network ID="DryLWR" Version="0.0.0" AllowCompilation="1">
  <Node FactoryPath="container.chain" ID="DryLWR" Bypassed="0" ShowParameters="1">
    <Nodes>
      <Node ID="FilterA" FactoryPath="filters.linkwitzriley" Bypassed="0">
        <ComplexData>

...etc...

still the same problem...I may have to completely recompile all this stuff...

Lindon

@Lindon --- yeah that fixed it... clearly a lesson for those building ScriptFX projects :

Dont rename your primary node - the name you give it at the start should stay that name for ever...

Christoph Hart

@Lindon Yeah, I think I'll add an error message when you try to rename the root node. Then you can still go into the XML and rename the file manually.

DLL build error..
