Hi everyone,
I am just doing some work with really large arrays and I have hit a problem.
SuperCollider crashes when I try to perform fairly simple operations on every item in the array.
I am probably taking the wrong approach, but it seems to work fine on small arrays...
Any advice on why this is happening and how best to do this sort of thing would be great.
Thanks in advance
Simon
Here is an example of the problem
// generate a 10 item array
a = Array(0);
for(0,10, {arg i;a = a.add((i*36)+519831);});
a.postln;
// now I want to divide every item in the array by 3 like this
q = Array(0);
for(0,10, {arg i;q = (a[0..i]/3);});
q.postln;
// thats was fine
// now lets do the same with a huge array
a = Array(0);
for(0,22188, {arg i;a = a.add((i*36)+519831);});
a.postln;
// thats fine to
// now I bet this is going to crash SC
q = Array(0);
for(0,22188, {arg i;q = (a[0..i]/3);});
q.postln;
And it did..... must be a better way.
