Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rich E (reakin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: glob_evalfile returns reference *
Initial Comment: glob_evalfile returns a reference to the patch that it opens, which is useful when opening/closing patches with a system other than the messaging (pd open ....) system. We are already using this system in libpd to open and close patches by reference instead of file name, and this also allows us to know more about the patch at instantiation (ex. dollar args).
As the method glob_evalfile currently returns void, it has no backwards incompatibility issues.
