Re: [sc-users] strange standardizePath bug?

[Sciss <contact@xxxxxxxx>]

yes, it's weird. this works:

s.waitForBoot({
	Routine.run({
		var p1, p2;
		
		p1 = "~/Desktop/Untitled-L.aif".standardizePath;
		p2 = "~/Desktop/Untitled-R.aif".standardizePath;
		
		c = Condition.new;
		s.sendMsgSync(c, \b_allocRead, s.bufferAllocator.alloc(1), p1, 0, 0);
		s.sendMsg( \b_allocRead, s.bufferAllocator.alloc(1), p2 );
	});
});

so something must be broken with waiting for the condition in  
sendMsgSync ??? look at this:

s.waitForBoot({
	Routine.run({
		var p1, p2;
		
		p1 = "~/Desktop/Untitled-L.aif".standardizePath;
		p2 = "~/Desktop/Untitled-R.aif".standardizePath;
		
		("Can we call? "++p1.canCallOS).inform;	// --> TRUE
		
		c = Condition.new;
		s.sendMsgSync(c, \b_allocRead, s.bufferAllocator.alloc(1), p1, 0, 0);

		("Can we call? "++p1.canCallOS).inform;	// --> FALSE

		s.sendMsg( \b_allocRead, s.bufferAllocator.alloc(1), p2 );
	});
});

looks like a bug. best, -sciss-
