Theading and OpenLibrary/GetFunction (Csound.dll)

I believe the following demonstrates some kind of bug.

To run the code one must install Csound and put a stereo sample (test.wav) and the Csound definition below (test.orc) in the same folder as the pb code file.

When the space bar is pressed the sound of test.wav will be audible until the space bar is again released.

The code works fine unless the line:

Code: Select all

csoundInputMessage(ctrl\csound, "i 96.0 0 -1 0" + Chr(10) + "i 96.1 0 -1 1" + Chr(10) + "i 96.2 0 -1 ch2" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 98 0 -1")
is replaced by:

Code: Select all

csoundInputMessage(ctrl\csound, "i 96.0 0 -1 0" + Chr(10) + "i 96.1 0 -1 1" + Chr(10) + "i 96.2 0 -1 ch2" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 96.3 0 -1 3" + Chr(10) + "i 96.4 0 -1 4" + Chr(10) + "i 96.5 0 -1 5" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 96.6 0 -1 6" + Chr(10) + "i 96.7 0 -1 7" + Chr(10) + "i 96.8 0 -1 8" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 96.9 0 -1 9" + Chr(10) + "i 96.10 0 -1 10" + Chr(10) + "i 96.11 0 -1 11" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 96.12 0 -1 12" + Chr(10) + "i 96.13 0 -1 13" + Chr(10) + "i 96.14 0 -1 14" + Chr(10) +
                                  "i 98 0 -1")
in this case the space bar function becomes very 'unresponsive' - the timing of the audio becomes very unprecise/'random'.

I think this is not simply a performance problem within Csound, because some equivalent code I made with .NET/C# does not exhibit this problem.

So what exactly is the PB bug?

The function is called correct, else your first example would also not work.
The only difference I can see, is the length of the parameter. But since this is a pointer it should be not a problem.

If it is really the length, redue the length down to the point where it works.
Then check the code of csound and your import stuff if there is something which can be related.

'I call something from a foreign code and it is not working' is not really a PB bug.

I wrote many wrappers for other dlls and they all work without problems.
If there is a bug, I think I would noticed that already.

@Aleks - sorry I was off from the forum for a while, would like to check your code! however, seems the link is now dead?

@infratec - sure, maybe 'problem' is a more accurate word:) What I was trying to say is that I wrote some code with C#/.NET that does exactly the same as the PB code above (I can post the code, if you are interested), but with C# I am not experiencing this performance problem - or whatever it is..

Note that I have tried giving maximum priority for the thread that is created with CreateThread, but the problem is still there.

I wonder if this could be connected with how C#/.NET may be able to use multiple processor cores, where PureBasic does not - perhaps something like that could be causing the difference?

Probably this is just a wrapper :
PUBLIC void *csoundCreateThread(uintptr_t (*threadRoutine)(void *),
void *userdata);


But I am using it instead of PB CreateThread().

And now that I am here : a CSound API question:
There is a function called csoundInputMessage(), isn't there a function that sends Midi-data to a virtual midi device, instead of sending Orc(hestra)-events on the fly? I want to be able (programmaticaly) to emulate Midi input. (cfr. Cabbage and -+rtMidi=Null)

It works here without any problems.
