... whenever they really describe the size of a buffer that fits in memory, or
of a block file (which is never now more than a megabyte and so could be fit in
memory all at once), or a part thereof.
... A non-narrowing conversion out to long long is a necessity, but the
conversions to float and double are simply conveniences.
Conversion from floating is explicit, to avoid unintended consequences with
arithmetic operators, when later sampleCount ceases to be an alias for an
integral type.
Some conversions are not made explicit, where I expect to change the type of
the variable later to have mere size_t width.
... 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.
These changes fix a broken build in Windows.
#include <algorithm> needed for min/max to be in std.
decltype(+name) was declaring a const variable, that could not be incremented. Changed to auto.
... I believe this list of four places is exhaustive.
There are many, many more safe narrowings that I examined.
This resulted from changing the definition of sampleCount in my builds so that
narrowing conversions failed to compile without some fixes, and I examined and
fixed every place.
The rest of that work is not yet shared.
... Should have no effect on generated code, except perhaps some slight faster
virtual function calls. Mostly useful as documentation of design intent.
Tried to mark every one of our classes that inherits from another, or is a
base for others, or has abstract virtual functions, and a few others besides.
This change is believed to be a direct refactoring that does not change functionality. It paves the way for more complex kinds of selection, such as selections involving frequency as well as time. It also reduces risk of left and right edges being swapped in future code using SelectedRegion, as the default is to swap on assignment if needed.
