Re: [fluid-dev] Questions about Gleam

[Miguel Lobo]

Sorry again, I did not try compiling with the debug log disabled.  It should work now.

It's important to keep the intended purpose of GleamCore as simple and easy to understand as possible (and reasonable), so I think a feature like your propose would be better implemented outside GleamCore.  For example, in the playmidi example, you have this code:

    /* add a condition sync event so we know when all events have been played */
    GleamConditionSyncEvent& endEvent(events.addType<GleamConditionSyncEvent>()());
    endEvent.freeList = &events;
    endEvent.time = lastTime;

[...]

    /* wait until the end event is played */
    endEvent.conditionSync.wait();

At that point you could add all events again instead of exiting.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi Miguel, thanks for your reply!
I updated my working copy and now I have other errors (string.h is not
imported in debuglog.h, and bad call at sf2voice.cpp:551; for now I
just commented the offending statement out)

I started playing around with Gleam and I was wondering how could I
implement a "repeat" feature: I would like to load a short midi file,
and have it playing over and over again. I thought that the simplest
mean of doing that would be to overload the freeList so that whenever
an event is added to it, I push it back to the synth, with an updated
timestamp. First of all, does it sound like a reasonable solution?
Second, to to that I would need the addNode method of GleamList to be
virtual. Could that be?
