Hallo, Phil Stone hat gesagt: // Phil Stone wrote:
Attached is [maketime], a lovely little timer/stopwatch. I've long since lost track of who made it, so I'm sorry can't give you well-deserved credit here. At any rate, it creates *at least* one symbol per second (probably more, I'm not sure if each [makefilename] generates a new symbol, but I'm guessing it does). This makes me nervous, as I have no idea what the symbol table capacity is, or how to see how "full" it is. It seems likely that this abstraction would crash eventually.
A fix for this maketime would be to reuse the symbols ":00" ... ":59" for minutes and hours by using two [cnv] objects for these. Then you would be able to let the clock run for decades before you get into trouble with the symbol table.
Every table or receiver or route-selector etc. also is a symbol. So while the implementation of the symbol table is suboptimal, in practice it's not something you need to worry about too much. At least it should not make you replace [route freq note] with [route 0 1] :-)
