Default=no. - -ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - PD by Miller Puckette and others. - - Ideas, black magic, and other nuggets of information drawn from code by - Guenter Geiger, Larry Troxler, and iohannes m zmoelnig. - -KNOWN BUGS - Memory Usage - Encoding each byte of a string as its own float is shamefully wasteful: - it uses only 1 byte out of at least 3 which could be losslessly used - given ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985 floats, not to mention the remaining - byte(s) (usually 1) of the float itself or the (usually 4) bytes used - for the a_type flag. Unfortunately, Pd trims some floating point - precision in message boxes and in float atoms, so a truly lossless float - encoding for Pd would only be possible using 2 bytes per float (wasting - 1/2 the space of the float itself), and (to me), the memory saving such - an encoding would provide is just not worth the lack of transparency and - additional workload it would involve (but contact me if you want the - code anyways). - -AUTHOR - Bryan Jurish - -- cgit v1.2.1
