pool_pop

Abstract

Pop (get) an item from a pool

Description

A pool is actually a stack of numbers, based on an array.

The pool_ opcodes implement a stack of numbers. This is useful when assigning ids to resources, like assigning fractional numbers to instrument instances to access them individually. To get a value, call pool_pop and when finished using it the value is returned to the pool with pool_push.

Syntax

ivalue pool_pop ipool [, iifempty=-1]
kvalue pool_pop ipool [, kifempty=-1]

Arguments

  • ipool: the pool to push the value to
  • iifempty / kifempty: this value is returned if the pool is empty.

Output

  • ivalue / kvalue: the value to push

Execution Time

  • Init
  • Performance
