Question: how does it feel to know that you made the best DAW around? (by the way, in the next century I'm probably going to make a better one for my needs, if I stop procrastinating everything. but reaper is pretty cool.)

    Hmm it varies highly, sometimes I program a lot, other times I do other things a lot (customer service, testing, etc). Web site development gets very little attention.

    We used it at one point, but not so much anymore. Valgrind is nice. The code analysis tools that come with Xcode and recent visual studio versions are pretty nice too.

Question: Hi, Justin. Long time lurker, first time poster. I saw a reddit post over on r/linuxaudio about the native linux version of Reaper. It really made my day. I tend to have the geekiest daydreams, and a dedicated Reaper linux distribution is a reoccurring dream of mine. Considering the history with Jesusonic, do you every entertain thoughts of a dedicated Reape

    I don't think anybody would want a dedicated REAPER-distro, but maybe a debian base install + list of apt-get packages would be useful? :)

Question: Hi, I'm working on an extension that uses a listbox, and I can get it to work for Windows, but won't work on Mac. When I run the php script, it makes the mac .rc_mac_dlg, but i'm stuck on this: hMarkerListWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, WC_LISTVIEW, "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | LVS_REPORT | LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS | LVS_SINGLESEL, 0, 0, 1, 1, hw

    "Sorry I didn't finish the question below. Is there a function in swell that I'm missing or is it possble?" Yeah, you can't use CreateWindowEx() on SWELL -- the easiest thing is to create controls in dialog resources and have CreateDialog() deal with it. To create on the fly, do something like this:
    #ifdef _WIN32
      hMarkerListWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, WC_LISTVIEW, "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | LVS_REPORT | LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS | LVS_SINGLESEL, 0, 0, 1, 1, hw ...
    #else
      SWELL_MakeSetCurParms(1, 1, 0, 0, parent, false, false);
      hMakerListWnd = SWELL_MakeControl("",id_if_you_care,"SysListView32",LVS_REPORT|LVS_SINGLESEL,x,y,w,h,0);
      SWELL_MakeSetCurParms(1, 1, 0, 0, NULL, false, false);
    
    #endif

Question: If a REAPER build takes more than 10 min, how do you test things? You can't write/test/compile quickly, what's the strategy?
Asked by Rodrigo (177.96.146.x) on April 25 2016, 2:47am
Reply on April 25 2016, 2:49pm (edited at April 25 2016, 2:50pm):
    That's for release builds (which rebuild-all, using ICC in release mode, for 4 platforms, OSX/Win, 32 and 64-bit).

    When developing using xcode, for example, you only build the files that change, which is usually close to instant, but even if I rebuild-all in debug mode in xcode, it takes ~30 seconds (VC is quite a bit slower on the same computer).
