class:: CheckBadValues
|
|
summary:: Test for infinity, not-a-number, and denormals
|
|
categories:: UGens>Info
|
|
|
|
description::
|
|
This link::Classes/UGen:: tests for infinity, NaN (not a number), and denormals. If one of these is found, it posts a warning. Its output is as follows: 0 = a normal float, 1 = NaN, 2 = infinity, and 3 = a denormal.
|
|
|
|
classmethods::
|
|
|
|
method:: ar, kr
|
|
argument:: in
|
|
the link::Classes/UGen:: whose output is to be tested.
|
|
argument:: id
|
|
an id number to identify this link::Classes/UGen::. The default is 0.
|
|
argument:: post
|
|
One of three post modes:
|
|
|
|
list::
|
|
## 0 = no posting;
|
|
## 1 = post a line for every bad value;
|
|
## 2 = post a line only when the floating-point classification changes (e.g., normal -> NaN and vice versa)
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
The default post mode is 2. Post mode 1 is retained for backward compatibility; be aware that it generates a large amount of output.

examples::
|
|
code::
|
|
{ CheckBadValues.kr(SinOsc.ar); 0}.play // nothing wrong here
|
|
|
|
{ CheckBadValues.kr(1 / 0, 1).poll; 0 }.play // check infinity
|
|
|
|
x = { arg test = -1; CheckBadValues.kr(test); 0 }.play // check NaN
|
|
x.set(\test, -1.sqrt);
|
|
|
|
// don't post, but do something with the output
|
|
(
|
|
x = { arg freq = 440;
|
|
var good;
|
|
good = BinaryOpUGen('==', CheckBadValues.kr(freq, 0, 0), 0);
|
|
SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, 0.1) * good // silence the output if freq is bad
|
|
}.play;
|
|
)
|
|
x.set(\freq, -1.sqrt);
|
|
|
|
// the UGen method checkBadValues passes through the input for quick testing
|
|
{ SinOsc.ar(440, 0, 0.1).checkBadValues }.play
