I recently implemented encoding to AAC from raw PCM in memory (as opposed to from a file) using the extended audio file services, which have their calls prefixed with ExtAudioFile*. ExtAudioFile stuff basically wraps a converter with the standard AudioFile functionality. It was a bit hard to track down the correct documentation, but it’s not […]
Last year when I was living in Berlin I had the opportunity to visit the SoundCloud campus where Henrik Lenberg and Eric Wahlforss were nice enough to talk to me about a range of things from Audacity to how SoundCloud functions as a development team. I’ve been to quite a few coorporate campuses and a […]
I came across another unsigned int issue today. If you have an unsigned int and you negate it with the unary ‘-‘ operator, you will just get a really large unsigned integer value, and not a negative value. From my last post about unsigned int, you can’t do smallInt – unsignedInt and expect a negative […]
When you say the same word over and over it starts to become meaningless. Mix this together with metaclasses and reflection. Then take objective-C and add it to C++. You then have an objective-C @Class construct for forward declaration, the Class object, the NSObject class method, and the C++ class keyword. It was only a […]
Guess who wins in signed vs unsigned integer conversion? I guessed wrong today, or rather, I’ve been assuming wrong for quite a while. consider this example: std::vector<SomeClass*> myVec; int countdown = -1; // … (fill the vector) if (countdown < myVec.size()) countdown++; // this will never get hit myVec.size() returns size_t, which is an unsigned […]
