So, as it seems, I just found that there's an issue with the way [fexpr~] abbreviates the formulas and the way it behaves.

If you use it like this [fexpr~ ($x + $x[-1] + $x[-2] + $x[-3]) * 0.25] by supressing the outlet number, it won't check back on previous block sample values.

but if you do this [fexpr~ ($x1 + $x1[-1] + $x1[-2] + $x1[-3]) * 0.25] it will!

check attached patch

Anyway, still seems like a bug to me one way or another that needs to be fixed. And, as long as we're on the subject, how's the work on the previous bug reports?

Thanks

Hi Shahrokh and Pd list

I've been testing fexpr~ and it seems it won't get the previous samples from the previous block.

For example, a simple mean filter like this:

[fexpr~ ($x + $x[-1]) * 0.5]

will not work for the first sample of the block, because it won't get the last sample from the previous block.

So, I know that in practice it doesn't compromise much, it's just one sample, but in an 16 point average filter this becomes more of a concern. One way or another, even for just one sample, I consider this problematic and a bug, as it should always be able to address previous samples. 

Am I right?

thanks
