Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ JUCE_UNDENORMALISE

#define JUCE_UNDENORMALISE (   x)    { (x) += 0.1f; (x) -= 0.1f; }

This macro can be applied to a float variable to check whether it contains a denormalised value, and to normalise it if necessary.

On CPUs that aren't vulnerable to denormalisation problems, this will have no effect.

template<typename Type >
constexpr Type jmap ( Type  value0To1,
Type  targetRangeMin,
Type  targetRangeMax 
)

Remaps a normalised value (between 0 and 1) to a target range.

This effectively returns (targetRangeMin + value0To1 * (targetRangeMax - targetRangeMin)).

Referenced by dsp::LogRampedValue< FloatType >::getNextValue(), dsp::LookupTable< Type >::getUnchecked(), dsp::LadderFilter< Type >::process(), and dsp::LogRampedValue< FloatType >::skip().

◆ jmap() [2/2]

template<typename Type >

Type  sourceRangeMin,
Type  sourceRangeMax,
Type  targetRangeMin,
Type  targetRangeMax 
)

References jassert.

◆ findMinimum()

template<typename Type >
Type findMinimum ( const Type *  data,
int  numValues

Type findMaximum ( const Type *  values,
int  numValues

Scans an array of values, returning the maximum value that it contains.

◆ jlimit()

template<typename Type >
Type jlimit ( Type  lowerLimit,
Type  upperLimit,
Type  valueToConstrain 
)
noexcept

Constrains a value to keep it within a given range.

This will check that the specified value lies between the lower and upper bounds specified, and if not, will return the nearest value that would be in-range. Effectively, it's like calling jmax (lowerLimit, jmin (upperLimit, value)).

Note that it expects that lowerLimit <= upperLimit. If this isn't true, the results will be unpredictable.

Parameters
lowerLimitthe minimum value to return
upperLimitthe maximum value to return
valueToConstrainthe value to try to return
Returns
the closest value to valueToConstrain which lies between lowerLimit and upperLimit (inclusive)

◆ roundToInt() [1/2]

template<typename FloatType >
int roundToInt ( const FloatType  value)
noexcept

Fast floating-point-to-integer conversion.

This is faster than using the normal c++ cast to convert a float to an int, and it will round the value to the nearest integer, rather than rounding it down like the normal cast does.

Note that this routine gets its speed at the expense of some accuracy, and when rounding values whose floating point component is exactly 0.5, odd numbers and even numbers will be rounded up or down differently.

Referenced by AudioParameterInt::get(), AudioParameterChoice::getIndex(), Point< int >::roundToInt(), roundToIntAccurate(), Rectangle< int >::toNearestInt(), Rectangle< int >::toNearestIntEdges(), and Decibels::toString().

◆ roundToInt() [2/2]

int roundToInt ( int  value)
noexcept

◆ roundToIntAccurate()

int roundToIntAccurate ( double  value)

Fast floating-point-to-integer conversion.

This is a slightly slower and slightly more accurate version of roundToInt(). It works fine for values above zero, but negative numbers are rounded the wrong way.

References roundToInt().

◆ truncatePositiveToUnsignedInt()

template<typename FloatType >
unsigned int truncatePositiveToUnsignedInt ( FloatType  value)
noexcept

Truncates a positive floating-point number to an unsigned int.

This is generally faster than static_cast<unsigned int> (std::floor (x)) but it only works for positive numbers small enough to be represented as an unsigned int.

References jassert, and max().

Referenced by dsp::LookupTable< Type >::getUnchecked().

◆ isPowerOfTwo()

constexpr bool isPowerOfTwo ( IntegerType  value)

Returns true if the specified integer is a power-of-two.

◆ nextPowerOfTwo()

int nextPowerOfTwo ( int  n)

References findHighestSetBit().

◆ findHighestSetBit()

int findHighestSetBit ( uint32  n)
noexcept

Returns the index of the highest set bit in a (non-zero) number.

So for n=3 this would return 1, for n=7 it returns 2, etc. An input value of 0 is illegal!

void writeLittleEndianBitsInBuffer ( void *  targetBuffer,
uint32  startBit,
uint32  numBits,
uint32  value 
)
noexcept

Writes a number of bits into a memory buffer at a given bit index.

The buffer is treated as a sequence of 8-bit bytes, and the value is encoded in little-endian order, so for example if startBit = 10, and numBits = 11 then the lower 6 bits of the value would be written into bits 2-8 of targetBuffer[1], and the upper 5 bits of value into bits 0-5 of targetBuffer[2].

uint32 readLittleEndianBitsInBuffer ( const void *  sourceBuffer,

uint32  numBits 
)
noexcept

Reads a number of bits from a buffer at a given bit index.

The buffer is treated as a sequence of 8-bit bytes, and the value is encoded in little-endian order, so for example if startBit = 10, and numBits = 11 then the lower 6 bits of the result would be read from bits 2-8 of sourceBuffer[1], and the upper 5 bits of the result from bits 0-5 of sourceBuffer[2].
