... This makes much code agnostic about how other things (functions and
arguments) are typed.
Many of these neeed to become size_t instead of sampleCount.
... but I think there may be some other off-by-one bugs (that existed before my
changes) in treatment of the last sample of a selected range. Need to
look more closely.
Create WaveTrackCache as a utility class but don't use it anywhere yet.
The possible minor performance problem with effects is fixed by changes
in WaveTrack::GetBestBlockSize().
That is the function that computes the heights of dark and pale blue lines in
the waveform display.
It's not simple but now the flow of control is less strange and it is better
commented.
This doesn't fix or enhance anything, but it might find use later, such as in
a project to adapt the resolution of the display in reponse to slow scrolling
updates.
In particular, use an options structure for AudioIO::StartStream to simplify
calls
ControlToolBar::PlayPlayRegion also takes that structure as an argument, and a
SelectedRegion instead of two times
And other changes
The functions wxString::Format, wxString::Printf (and others indirectly) have become stricter about parameter types that don't match (format specifier vs. function parameters). So the bugs (that were already present in audacity before) become visible in wx3.0 as error message dialogs. I've checked all occurrences of Printf, wxPrintf, PrintfV, Format, FormatV, wxLogDebug and wxLogError systematically and made the type match.
Note: In Shuttle.cpp this patch supersedes one related change done in r13466 because a wxLongLong_t can be bigger than an int and in a generic function like "TransferLongLong" this should be taken into account.
We can't go to 3.0.1 yet as there are still build issues on
Linux and OSX. You can get Windows to build, but there's
still some display issues.
These changes should work with wxWidgets 2.8.12 as well, so
we can take our time to get things working properly before
switching over.
