[Csnd] Question re: while loop not working

The Csound Mailinglist
1

I've set up various other while loops that worked ok. I'm probably doing something silly but:

instr 1

kTime init 0
kTime timeinsts
; while kTime<10 do
        printk 1, kTime
; od

endin

i1 0 12

works fine. However if I uncomment the loop Csound freezes & has to be restarted. I'm not sure why. Is it possible to have loops that use time as a condition?

you are not updating kTime inside the loop, so you have a never-ending loop. Csound is stuck in the first k-cycle.
