I have some bizarre happenings in my plugin. It must be me, but I have
no idea what's going on.

 

Firstly, the plugin does actually work and is not trivial because it
uses PortAudio which it streams through a little signal processing
function. I can start it and stop it and it all behaves properly. The
start() and stop() take no parameters. The problems start when I try and
pass parameters to the other functions. 

 

I tried a test function:

 

answerValue: value

 

            <primitive: 'answerValue' module:'SDRPhasingDSPPlugin'>

            Transcript show: 'Primitive answerValue failed'.

            ^ false

 

 

As far as I know you can just do this:

 

answerValue: value

 

            self export: true.

 

            (self cCode: 'return value')

 

This translated to:

 

EXPORT(int) answerValue(int value) {

            return value;

}

 

When I tried this it appeared to work. No failures and I got back what I
entered. Then I realised I could put anything as a parameter :

 

x answerValue: 'abc' 'abc'

 

Whatever parameter I gave it got echoed back regardless of whether it
was an int or not. I could even say.

 

x answerValue: x a SDRPhasingDSP

 

To prove this I changed the code to 

 

answerValue: value

 

            self export: true.

 

            (self cCode: 'return 100')

 

and still got back what I entered.

 

Incidentally:

 

x getModuleName a SDRPhasingDSP

 

also answers the type of x and not the plugin name.

 

Please put me on the right track someone before I go completely mad.

 

Thanks

Bob
