... This makes it impossible to forget to include the EXPERIMENTAL definitions
(such as when cutting and pasting code) and so get unintended quiet changes of
behavior.
The EXPERIMENTAL flags are now specified instead in new file Experimental.cmake
... without making undesirable dependency cycles.
Eliminate calls to NewWaveTrack in effects, but in Edit>Copy too, which was
not mentioned in the bug report. (Copying a track, deselecting all, and pasting
preserved CLIP colors, but not the TRACK color setting which applies to newly
generated clips.)
Instead, always use the new function WaveTrack::EmptyCopy from the track to be
later replaced, getting color information.
NewWaveTrack is still used in benchmark test, import, the Track menu
commands that make new tracks, recording to new tracks, and generators without
a selection, where there is no track to copy from.
Also when deserializing tracks from the .aup file, in which case the saved
color is later retrieved from the file.
Also, in mix-and-render, where other logic decides whether to copy colors
afterward.
See commit a9658e6ef7f7eaefce4dc37a93d389cca7705f41
... and Track::GetOwner() is publicized, so that now you can find the
the AudacityProject, if any, that owns a given Track; this will help eliminate
some uses of GetActiveProject
... Unnecessary because transitively included.
But each .cpp file still includes its own .h file near the top to ensure
that it compiles indenendently, even if it is reincluded transitively later.
... except Audacity.h
This forces us to make each header contain all forward declarations or nested
headers that it requires, rather than depend on context.
... except Audacity.h; and in no others.
Do so even if Experimental.h gets multiply included, as in both the .h and
.cpp files.
This makes it easier to do a text scan to be sure there are no unintended quiet
changes of meaning because of omission of Experimental.h when the flag is
an enabled one.
Also move inclusions of Experimental.h earlier.
Also don't require Experimental.h to be preceded by Audacity.h to define
EXPERIMENTAL_MIDI_OUT correctly.
... which will make it easier to change the types of those containers to
std::vectors of other string-like classes
for wxString,
IsEmpty => empty
Clear => clear
Alloc => reserve
for wxArrayString,
Count => size
GetCount => size
IsEmpty => empty
Add => push_back
Clear => clear
Empty => clear
Sort => std::sort (only with default comparator)
SetCount => resize
Last => back
Item => operator []
Alloc => reserve
... and similar wx "variadics," which all treat wxString smartly enough that
you don't need this.
Don't need c_str either to convert wxString to const wxChar * because
wxString has a conversion operator that does the same.
... The return codes were mostly ignored anyway, and exceptions will be thrown
instead.
It seems there was also confusion whether the return values of Track::Paste
and Track::SyncLockAdjust were to indicate success or indicate whether there
was any change. No matter now.
... 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.
This brings the builtin, LV2, and VAMP effects inline with the
Audio Units, LADSPA, and VST effects. All effects now share
a common UI.
This gives all effects (though not implemented for all):
User and factory preset capability
Preset import/export capability
Shared or private configuration options
Builtin effects can now be migrated to RTP, depending on algorithm.
LV2 effects now support graphical interfaces if the plugin supplies one.
Nyquist prompt enhanced to provide some features of the Nyquist Workbench.
It may not look like it, but this was a LOT of work, so trust me, there
WILL be problems and everything effect related should be suspect. Keep
a sharp eye (or two) open.
