I was hoping to be able to copy and paste working codebox objects inside gen~, but when I try I get errors about variables already being declared.

Is a variable created in a codebox object global to all other codebox objects in the same gen~ patch?

Is there a way to ensure a variable is treated as local within a single codebox object?

you have to turn the code into a function - that way it is not in global codespace but local. maybe then you would not even need to copy paste but simply reuse declared functions?

Hey thanks. I think I see a demonstration of what you are talking about in the gen~.interpolation example.

It's probably worth mentioning this for anyone reading this thread in the future.

...creates two separate instances of my_integrate. Each output gets an independent instance. That was not obvious to me from the code, since it looks like two calls to the same function. The way it is written, I would have expected "prev" in a single instance of my_integrate to increase by in1 + in2 for each audio frame (one frame being 1/SampleRate).

I like the behavior that it actually implements, I just want to point it out in case it is confusing to anyone else.

// a simple integrator:
my_integrate(in_val) {
	History prev(0);
	prev = prev + in_val;
	return prev;
}

out1 = my_integrate(in1);
out2 = my_integrate(in2);

Variable scope in codebox?
