Can't really comment on #1, but here are the others:
2) I defined some variables outside the function definitions (just
above the execute method, to be exact), and there were problems when
I loaded more than one instance of the plugin - they appeared to be
sharing the variables.
Could someone explain what was happening here?
These are global variables. They are not class-instance variables, so
they're shared among all patches of the same type. Creating a new
patch in the editor makes new Instance Vars, but not new global var
(because then globals wouldn't really be global, but instance too ...
which wouldn't make any sense). There are times were you'll actually
want globals in a patch, shared across all patches of the same type.
3) Just curious what the range is for a "double" - what's the
biggest number that can be represented by a double? What happens if
you add a positive value to that number?
There may be a constant like MAX_DOUBLE or something that'll have that
value. Floating point numbers store their values in a way different
from integers, so depending on the sizes added, nothing may happen
(it'll round the small addition to zero). For example, if the double
is 4,000,000,000,000, and you add +.00000001, it may still end up
being 4,000,000,000,000 (you may need larger numbers to observe this
behaviour, this is just a conceptual example).
4) This is actually a follow-on to question 2 above. I moved the
variable definitions to the header file, inside
@interface SuperLFOPlugIn : QCPlugIn
{
}
Is this the correct way to declare instance-specific variables? Is
there a better way?
This is completely how it's done. You did it perfectly. :) (These
are where the Instance Vars I was talking about above go)
