Crashing trying to compile Scriptnode dll

[Lindon]

..oh one of those days I fear...
So my project is crashing as soon as I press OK to start the DLL build for my single scriptnode network - anyone have a nice way to reset it - I've deleted the contents of the Binaries folder in the Networks area - still the same..

[d.healey]

@Lindon Also delete the nodes folder in Additional Source Code

[Lindon]

@d-healey I've deleted everything...now it wont compile anything - I've completely rebuilt the project - and it runs the compile - but fails to build anything that will load...

In the original - instant crash on compile start.

[Lindon]

@Lindon nope theres something bad going on -= HISE is broken here, it wont do a proper dll compile....

[d.healey]

@Lindon Do you have multiple networks or just one?

[Lindon]

@d-healey just one -

I have just created a whole new project and tried to compile the faust network I built for the compressor - with the associated code..

and it fails to complete the compile process...

so the process is:

1. create a new project
2. add a script FX
3. add a single core.faust node
4. create a faust file to edit
5. copy in this code:

// Faust Source File: compTest
// Created with HISE on 2023-02-15
import("stdfaust.lib");


//strength: strength of the compression (0 = no compression, 1 means hard limiting, >1 means over-compression)
strength = hslider("Strength", 0, 0, 1, 0.01);
//thresh: dB level threshold above which compression kicks in
thresh = hslider("Thresh", 0, -60, 0, 0.1);
//att: attack time = time constant (sec) when level & compression going up
att = hslider("Attack", 0, 0, 2, 0.01);
//rel: release time = time constant (sec) coming out of compression
rel = hslider("Release", 0, 0, 3, 0.01);
//knee: a gradual increase in gain reduction around the threshold: below thresh-(knee/2) there is no gain reduction, above thresh+(knee/2) there is the same gain reduction as without a knee, and in between there is a gradual increase in gain reduction.
knee = hslider("knee", 0, 0, 8, 0.1);
//prePost: places the level detector either at the input or after the gain computer; this turns it from a linear return-to-zero detector into a log domain return-to-threshold detector
//prePost = hslider("Mode", 0, 0, 1, 1);
//link: the amount of linkage between the channels. 0 = each channel is independent, 1 = all channels have the same amount of gain reduction
//link = hslider("Link", 0, 0, 1, 0.01);

compress(left,right) = left,right : co.RMS_compression_gain_N_chan(strength,thresh,att,rel,knee,1,0,2) : *(left), *(right);

process = compress;

and compile it...

6. set the node to be compile-able
7. save the node
8. Run the "compile DSP networks as DDL"
9. Review (your single) list of nodes to be compiled
10. run the compile

• at this point it either crashes HISE, or falls out of the compile before finishing (you never see the "Generating code..." message)

[d.healey]

Could be something faust specific, I have no idea though.

[Lindon]

@d-healey if you have the time could you try these steps and see if it happens for you?

@Lindon I followed the same steps to build this compressor. HISE doesn't crash but I'm getting this error :

d:\-- dev --\hise\github repo\hise\hi_dsp_library\snex_basics\snex_types.h(1047): error C2148: la taille totale du tabl
eau ne doit pas dépasser 0x7fffffff octets (compilation du fichier source ..\..\Source\Main.cpp) [D:\-- DEV --\HISE\Git
Hub Repo\Script-Library\FAUST Comp\DspNetworks\Binaries\Builds\VisualStudio2017\FAUST Comp_DynamicLibrary.vcxproj]

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon I got it to compile correctly. I just tried and changed some Attack/Release slider values.... And it seem to have solved the issue :

// Faust Source File: compTest
// Created with HISE on 2023-02-15
import("stdfaust.lib");


//strength: strength of the compression (0 = no compression, 1 means hard limiting, >1 means over-compression)
strength = hslider("Strength", 0, 0, 1, 0.01);
//thresh: dB level threshold above which compression kicks in
thresh = hslider("Thresh", 0, -60, 0, 0.1);
//att: attack time = time constant (sec) when level & compression going up
att = hslider("Attack", 0.03, 0.01, 1, 0.01);
//rel: release time = time constant (sec) coming out of compression
rel = hslider("Release", 0.05, 0.01, 1, 0.01);
//knee: a gradual increase in gain reduction around the threshold: below thresh-(knee/2) there is no gain reduction, above thresh+(knee/2) there is the same gain reduction as without a knee, and in between there is a gradual increase in gain reduction.
knee = hslider("knee", 0, 0, 8, 0.1);
//prePost: places the level detector either at the input or after the gain computer; this turns it from a linear return-to-zero detector into a log domain return-to-threshold detector
//prePost = hslider("Mode", 0, 0, 1, 1);
//link: the amount of linkage between the channels. 0 = each channel is independent, 1 = all channels have the same amount of gain reduction
//link = hslider("Link", 0, 0, 1, 0.01);

compress(left,right) = left,right : co.RMS_compression_gain_N_chan(strength,thresh,att,rel,knee,1,0,2) : *(left), *(right);

process = compress;

@Matt_SF thanks but I'm getting the same error you were getting even with these new values ...

d:\hise\hi_dsp_library\snex_basics\snex_types.h(1047): error C2148: total size of array must not exceed 0x7fffffff byte
s (compiling source file ..\..\Source\Main.cpp) [F:\Audio\Channel Robot\Hise_Work\DuoToneCompressor\DspNetworks\Binarie
s\Builds\VisualStudio2017\DuoToneCompressor_DynamicLibrary.vcxproj]

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon that's very bizarre.... Did you embed the dsp Network or did you create a network file? I did the latter

[Matt_SF]

@Lindon and I reloaded HISE after changing the code

[Lindon]

@Matt_SF yeah so did I..

I did make it compile it seems it doesnt like changing these lines:

att = hslider("Attack", 0.03, 0.01, 1, 0.01);

rel = hslider("Release", 0.05, 0.01, 1, 0.01);

to this:

att = hslider("Attack", 0.03, 0.01, 2, 0.01);

rel = hslider("Release", 0.05, 0.01, 5, 0.01);

So all I have done is increase the max value of these controls, from 1 to 2 and 1 to 5...but that crashes the compile and (often) crashes HISE...

@Christoph-Hart ..... this is one for you I think....

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon nope that‘s faust related, it complains because your prolongued time ranges exceed the max array size for some internal buffering.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart Ok thanks - I was hoping for a much longer set of values for attack and release but hey ---

[sletz]

@Christoph-Hart what kind of " internal buffering" ?
