Hm... you should keep the same C data types. :-) I took a look at
`OggOpusFile` type, it is a struct:

https://github.com/gcp/opusfile/blob/9a9825df0319138fe845cbb19c250b642965c4b1/include/opusfile.h#L133

so on Pascal it makes more sense declared as:

type
  POggOpusFile = ^OggOpusFile;
  OggOpusFile = record
  end;

and finally:

op_read: function(OpusFile: POggOpusFile; ...

`PDArFloat` seems OK to `op_read_float`, but notice last comment regarding
`_pcm`.

"li: pointer" should be "li: pcint" in both funcs.

go slowly: these changes can raise new errors on your code. :-)

  TDArFloat = array of cfloat;

`_pcm` on original code is an `int16` buffer... consider to using `cint16`:

https://github.com/gcp/opusfile/blob/9a9825df0319138fe845cbb19c250b642965c4b1/include/opusfile.h#L1873

Yes, because C `float`'s size is 4, and Pascal `double`'s, 8. Pascal
`cfloat` is just a alias to `single`, 4. :-) Try two tests:

$ echo -e '#include \nint main(){printf("size of float: %zu\\n",
sizeof(float));return 0;}' > fredvs.c && gcc -o fredvs fredvs.c && clear &&
./fredvs # it prints "size of float: 4" on your terminal

and:

$ echo "program fredvs;begin writeln('sizeof double: ',
sizeof(double));writeln('size of single: ', sizeof(single));end." >
fredvs.pp && fpc fredvs.pp && clear && ./fredvs # it prints "sizeof double:

You should keep the Pascal code syntax closest to the C one, something like
this:

uses ctypes;

POggOpusFile = ^TOggOpusFile
TOggOpusFile = record // please check if original C struct uses some
alignment ...
end;

function op_read_float(_of: POggOpusFile; _pcm: Pcfloat; _buf_size: cint;
_li: pcint): cint; cdecl; ... blah blah blah
// or dynamic loading like you showed (on Delphi you can use the `delayed`
keyword instead of declaring `GetProcedureAddress` by hand :-) )

{$MACRO ON}
{$DEFINE OP_ARG_NONNULL := op_read_float}

It is useful when we need to translate the examples.

It seems that function just increment the address of a (float) buffer, so:

var
...
  buf: pcfloat;
begin
  ... HandleOF/buf initialization etc. ...
  outframes := OP_ARG_NONNULL(HandleOF, buf, Wantframes * Channels, nil);
... code ...
  buf += (Wantframes * Channels) * sizeof(cfloat) // or inc(buf,
(Wantframes * Channels) * sizeof(cfloat));

( you can try "buf += Wantframes * Channels; // or inc(buf, Wantframes *
Channels);" too )

I'm not sure if it works, but you can check it by yourself. :-)

Here, for example from OpusFile.h =>

OP_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT int op_read_float(OggOpusFile *_of,
 float *_pcm,int _buf_size,int *_li) OP_ARG_NONNULL(1);

Translated in fpc with:

op_read: function(OpusFile: TOggOpusFile; var pcm; SampleCount: Integer; li:
pointer): Integer;

And used like this:
BufferIn : array of cfloat;

outframes := op_read_float(HandleOF,BufferIn[0],Wantframes *Channels, nil);

The nice thing is that BufferIn can be used for portaudio, soundfile,
mpg123, aac buffers and is working like charm.

Hello.

Hum,...

I am guilty. ;-(

There was a SetLength(Bufferin, x) hidden.

So the length of bufferin into the function was not the same as the "pure"
one.

So, to resume:

If using: 

function arraycopy(arrayin : Tarrayfloat): Tarrayfloat; 
begin 
result := arrayin; 
end; 

==> Perfect, the input arrayin = result. ;-(

Sorry for the noise (but I m still open for other solutions than dealing
with dynamic arrays).
(But dynamic arrays are wow).

2017-01-20 Thread fredvs
Hello.

Some more investigations.

Let say we have a array of float of length = 100 (arrayin):

setlength(arrayin,100);

A external library fill this array with 80 samples (ouframes).

When using that arrayin pure (without any dsp) the sound is pure too.

If using:

function arraycopy(arrayin : Tarrayfloat): Tarrayfloat;
begin
result := arrayin;
end;

==> Bad noisy sound, even using

but if using:

function arraycopy(arrayin : Tarrayfloat; outfames: integer): Tarrayfloat;
begin
SetLength(arrayin, outframes); 
result := arrayin;
end;

===> OK, perfect sound.

Why ?

Huh, what do you propose instead, I am totally open to new idea ?
(But using dynamic arrays gives me lovely results).

All the audio-wrappers use buffers to store the data.
I use dynamic arrays for that buffers.

In https://github.com/fredvs/uos there are Pascal wrappers to C libraries:

uos_Portaudio.pas
uos_Mpg123.pas
uos_SoundFile.pas
uos_Opus.pas
uos_AAC.pas
uos_SoundTouch.pas

...

You shouldn't use Pascal arrays when interfacing with C/C++ code as
especially dynamic arrays have a different format (though you can pass a
pointer to the first array element).

Maybe show us how the original C function looks like.

While the original Pascal language was clear and logical,
it has become ambiguous with managed types.

In this declaration

var X : int64;

"X" always means the 8 bytes that hold the integer.
"@X" always means the 4 bytes of the *address* where the 8 bytes start.
Here you are always aware what is meant:
Either the data or the address of the data (pointer).

In this declaration:

var A : array of int64;

"A" means the (elements of the) array if you index it as in "A[7]"
but it means the (4 byte) pointer to the first element if you use it
as function parameter or in assignments.

And even worse, *some* managed types (like strings) have "copy-on-write".

IMO this is all very confusing and leads to a lot of hard to spot bugs
but it cannot be changed anymore.

The FPImage implementation supports 16bit color channels (a bit of
future proofing that confuses many). Most programs and images use 8bits
per channel. Each color channel is thus a WORD size, not a BYTE size.

That is why my example program does the following:

  // duplicate the data to fill a WORD size channel
  r := (r shl 8) or r;
  g := (g shl 8) or g;
  b := (b shl 8) or b;

eg: if r was initial $00AC  (by using Random($FF) to populate it), I
then duplicate the initial value to fill the WORD size value, and the
above code will make r = $ACAC. Strictly not 100% correct thing to do,
but seems to work with FPImage.

  Graeme
