... The return codes were mostly ignored anyway, and exceptions will be thrown
instead.
It seems there was also confusion whether the return values of Track::Paste
and Track::SyncLockAdjust were to indicate success or indicate whether there
was any change. No matter now.
... Strong, meaning that the file at the specified path is created or modified
only if all write operations complete without exceptions, barring one very
unlikely possibility that a final file rename fails, but even in that case the
output is successfully written to some path.
This commit does not add throws, but changes the type thrown to a subclass of
AudacityException, so that GuardedCall will cause the user to see an error
dialog in all cases.
Duplicated logic for making temporary files and backups is now all in one
place, the class XMLWriter.
There may be more new GuardedCalls than necessary -- the catch-all for the
event loop, AudacityApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop, might be trusted instead in
some cases -- but they are sufficient.
On windows the capitalisation does not matter.
On Mac/Windows we use 'audacity' in path names, even if the directories wxWidgets suggests have 'Audacity'.
The bug was that when the Equalization effect opens in Graphics mode, the sliders are set to zero, and don't do the right thing. This was caused by my incorrect fix for bug #1346.
Fix is to call UpdateGraphic to set the sliders up. Call to UpdateDraw also added, which includes the appropriate calls to Show, rather than have these in PopulateOrExchange.
... A non-narrowing conversion out to long long is a necessity, but the
conversions to float and double are simply conveniences.
Conversion from floating is explicit, to avoid unintended consequences with
arithmetic operators, when later sampleCount ceases to be an alias for an
integral type.
Some conversions are not made explicit, where I expect to change the type of
the variable later to have mere size_t width.
... This makes much code agnostic about how other things (functions and
arguments) are typed.
Many of these neeed to become size_t instead of sampleCount.
I confirmed that the currently used real FFT code in RealFFTf.cpp is faster
than the old one with a quick benchmark that calls PowerSpectrum() on 4-minute
audio file, with different sizes of computation windows:

Window_size: 256 method: old FFT time_s: 1.065
Window_size: 1024 method: new FFT time_s: 0.38
Window_size: 1024 method: old FFT time_s: 0.958
Window_size: 4096 method: new FFT time_s: 0.413
