A Look at the Generated C++ code

Running Faust with no architecture file, e.g.,

  > faust cpgrir.dsp

causes the C++ signal-processing code to be printed on the standard output, as shown for this example in Fig.K.6. Notice how the constant subexpressions are computed only once per instance in the instanceInit member function. Also, even in instanceInit, which is only called once, repeated computation of $R^2$ is avoided by use of the temporary variable fConst1, and division by 2 is converted to multiplication by $0.5$ .

Figure: C++ code emitted by the shell command
faust cpgrir.dsp (and reformatted slightly).
