Add Faust opcodes for Csound 7 - #51
Conversation
Port the faustcsound opcodes (faustgen, faustcompile, faustaudio,
faustdsp, faustplay, faustctl) from 6.x to the Csound 7 plugin API.
- Use cs_float/FAUSTFLOAT, the new OENTRY deinit field, and
csoundModuleInit registration.
- Add a CMake build supporting both a dynamic libfaust and a static
libfaustwithllvm archive (-DFAUST_STATIC=ON) with symbol hiding.
- Install and auto-locate the Faust standard library so
import("stdfaust.lib") works without a separate Faust install.
- Add CI steps to download the Faust release binaries and build/stage
the plugin and stdlib on Linux, macOS and Windows.

- Around line 140-141: Update the label termination in addctl so copied control
labels end with a null character instead of a newline, allowing getZone to match
names such as vol.
- Line 579: Update faustplay and faustctl to check whether the DSP registry
head, *fobjp, is null before dereferencing it; return InitError when it is null,
and preserve the existing handle lookup behavior otherwise. Apply this change at
7.x/src/faustcsound/faustgen.cpp lines 579-579 and
7.x/src/faustcsound/faustgen.cpp lines 1007-1009.
- Line 766: Validate input and output channel counts before registering DSP
records, so an invalid engine is rejected before it becomes discoverable and is
freed. Apply this ordering to both the faustaudio path at
7.x/src/faustcsound/faustgen.cpp:766-766 and the faustgen path at
7.x/src/faustcsound/faustgen.cpp:864-864.
- Around line 1074-1075: Reduce the output count advertised in the `faustgen`
opcode signature so the handle plus audio outputs fit within
`faustgen::outs[MAXARG]`, limiting audio outputs to 39; alternatively, enlarge
`outs` to safely accommodate the current signature.
- Line 592: In the faustplay argument-validation error branches, return
InitError without deleting p->engine, since it is borrowed from a ::dsp record;
leave engine ownership and lifetime unchanged.
- Line 876: Update the `fdsp->nxt->cnt` assignment to use the preceding node’s
count plus one without modifying `fdsp->cnt`, so each new `faustgen` instance
receives a unique incremented handle.
- Around line 468-470: In the deinitialization path for `faustdsp`, delete
`fobj->ctls` before freeing `fobj`, alongside the existing engine cleanup.
Locate this path in `init_faustdsp` and preserve the surrounding cleanup
behavior.
- Around line 368-370: Replace the per-instance p->lock around
createDSPFactoryFromString with synchronization shared by all Faust factory
operations, including calls from faustgen, and protect updates to the shared
factory list; alternatively, enable Faust’s documented multithreaded factory
mode while still synchronizing list updates.
- Around line 362-365: Update the SSppo handling of extra so it never casts the
optional fifth numeric input to STRINGDAT; either remove that input from the
implementation or register and read it as an actual string input, keeping the
opcode signature and input handling consistent.
- Line 589: Remove the p->engine->init call from faustplay startup; keep DSP
initialization in the opcode that creates the registered engine, such as
faustdsp or faustaudio, so borrowing the engine preserves its state and control
values.
- Line 622: Update the output-clearing loop to iterate over all p->OUTOCOUNT
channels, including the final output, while preserving its existing behavior for
the other channels.

Store control labels without a newline.
For a control named vol, addctl stores vol\n, but getZone compares it with vol. Every normal faustctl lookup therefore fails. Terminate the copied label with '\0' instead. (csound.com)

Do not interpret the fifth numeric input as STRINGDAT.
The registered SSppo signature makes extra an optional numeric input. If a caller supplies a nonzero fifth input, this cast reads that number as a string-data pointer and passes an invalid string to Faust. Remove the unsupported input or register and read an actual string input. (csound.com)

Serialize Faust factory access across opcode instances.
p->lock belongs to one faustcompile instance. Two default-asynchronous compilations can therefore enter createDSPFactoryFromString concurrently; faustgen also calls it without this lock. Faust documents that factory access is not thread-safe by default. Use a shared lock for factory operations and protect the shared factory list, or enable Faust’s documented multithreaded factory mode and still synchronize list updates. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Release faustdsp controls on deinitialization.
init_faustdsp allocates controls and stores it in fobj->ctls. This path frees the record and engine but never deletes the controls. Repeated DSP instantiation therefore retains every controls list. Delete fobj->ctls before freeing the record.

Check the DSP registry head before looking up a handle. Deinitializing the last DSP leaves a possible null head in the existing ::dsp global. Both lookups dereference that head instead of reporting an invalid handle.

Do not delete the registered engine on a faustplay argument error.
p->engine is borrowed from a ::dsp record. If an input or output count is wrong, either error branch deletes that engine but leaves the record and other users pointing to it. Return InitError without deleting the borrowed engine.

Clear the final output channel at an early note end.
The loop omits output p->OUTOCOUNT - 1. On a partial final block, that channel retains samples after the valid region while the other channels are cleared. Iterate over all p->OUTOCOUNT outputs.

Validate channel counts before adding an engine to ::dsp. Both paths publish an engine and then delete it on a channel-count error without removing its registry record. Later lookups can use the freed engine.

Assign a new handle without changing the previous handle.
fdsp->cnt++ assigns the preceding node’s old count to the new node and changes the preceding node’s count. With two faustgen instances, the second receives handle 0 and the first changes from 0 to 1. Later instances create duplicate counts, so handle lookups can select the wrong DSP. Assign fdsp->cnt + 1 without modifying fdsp.

Keep the declared output count within outs[MAXARG].
The signature advertises a handle plus 40 additional outputs, but faustgen::outs has only 40 slots. If Csound binds all 40 audio outputs, the final pointer writes into the following code field. Limit the signature to 39 audio outputs or enlarge the array.
