Max-int overflow
Slay68 opened this issue · 3 comments
Hi Adam,
In a short test, filling the buffer with some sine values, I noticed the resulting wave had a negative peak value, where it should have been the max positive value. It seems to be that a 1.0 float value in the buffer is saved as 32768 (for the 16-bit format). This is the piece of code for saving the file:
else if (bitDepth == 16)
{
int16_t sampleAsInt = (int16_t) (samples[channel][i] * (T)32768.);
addInt16ToFileData (fileData, sampleAsInt);
}
The easiest solution would be to replace the 32768 value by a 32767, hereby 'losing' the max nagative -32768 value. Or using an intermediate 32-bit value, which is clipped between 32767 and -32768 afterwards.
Regards and thanks for your code,
Ruud
Hi there, I have now fixed this and it is on the main master branch. Let me know if it solves your problem,
