Faust 2.58.11 to test

[Christoph Hart]

@sletz Yes I can confirm that the patch you send me works now (I had to add the darwin flag but apart from that everything loaded fine).

However now it won't compile against the old Faust (2.50.6 or whatever it was) because the old API doesn't have the getWarningMessage() function. Is there a preprocessor macro in the faust headers that I can query for the version and conditionally include the getWarningMessage() function definition? I would love to not force everybody to update their Faust installation to keep using it.

[sletz]

Would FAUSTVERSION work for that?

See: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/blob/master-dev/architecture/faust/export.h#L28

Function added in 2.54.0, see: https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/commit/a962231a9ca985cfa2ba513c01028872af62b115

BTW: now I understand why the latest published 2.54.9 version was also crashing !?

@sletz The problem is that this is a preprocessor string and it's impossible to use it in a conditional expression. I've added a manual projucer flag in the hi_faust_types module that the user has to switch on if he wants to keep using the old faust version (OLD_FAUST_API_SUPPORT), but this is only a very low level solution that only removes the getWarningMessage() function from the Faust wrappers and will probably cause issues again with the next breaking API change.

If you could add integer versions of the version, this would allow people to check the library version conditionally (and I could remove that flag and let the system figure it out automatically). Usually it's done like this:

#define FAUSTMAJORVERSION 2
#define FAUSTMINORVERSION 50
#define FAUSTPATCHVERSION 6

then I could use

#if  FAUSTMAJORVERSION <= 2 && FAUSTMINORVERSION <= 54
#define OLD_FAUST_API_SUPPORT 1
#else
#define OLD_FAUST_API_SUPPORT 0
#endif

OK, fixed in https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/commit/fd8b6fa2496f55f3de0c531455f4cf9a8339586a.

Add classInit method in dsp_factory class, https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/commit/90d40d425dac7557667387e3a8a5f4b44ce1ae43.

Version raised to 2.59.0, possible breaking for HISE integration.

[sletz]

Working with 2.59.1 without changes.

@sletz said in Faust 2.58.11 to test:

Working with 2.59.1 without changes.

so are we saying 2.59.1 works with HISE?

[sletz]

Yes indeed.

Could someone please point me at Faust release 2.59.1 - the latest I can find is 2.54.9....
