hello folks,
it's been a couple of years since IOhannes submitted his patch for
constructor/destructor routines.. as far as i know only pd-extended has picked
up the patch. could miller please consider this for inclusion into his stable
branch?
without the [initbang] / [closebang] objects, pd is crippled to a static
application of the abstraction philosophy, making it impossible to dynamically
create inlets/outlets based on an abstractions arguments. this is really a
silly limitation that has already been solved and should be put into regular
practice where ever possible.
while i understand that miller has been hesitant to include such
functionality, i would prefer it to be an included but undocumented feature
(much like the role that [namecanvas] presently takes) than not included at
all.
anyhow, there's a chance this will fall on deaf ears, but i would just like to
register my vote for permanent inclusion.
many thanks as always,
dmotd
