It seems like ma.modulo doesn't do what you want.
This faust code:

  process = ma.modulo(ba.time,100.0);

generates this c++ code:

  for (int i = 0; (i < count); i = (i + 1)) {
    iRec0[0] = (iRec0[1] + 1);
    output0[i] = FAUSTFLOAT(std::fmod((std::fmod(float((iRec0[0] +
-1)), 100.0f) + 100.0f), 100.0f));
    iRec0[1] = iRec0[0];
  }

(I don't know what happens here)

I guess you want to use % instead of ma.modulo:

  process = ba.time % 100.0;


But if I follow your thoughts correctly, it also seems like you need
to create a state. So that if state==-1, you return -1, and if
state==1, you return 1. In Faust, you can create a state by using the
recursive operator ~.
(https://faust.grame.fr/doc/manual/index.html#recursive-composition)

For this specific task, though, I would simply do it like this instead:
val = ba.if((ba.time%200) < 100, -out_value, out_value);
But maybe this isn't good enough for what you really want to achieve?
