• 0001-make-un-created-objects-findable.patch (2.3 kB; text/x-diff)

when an object cannot be created, Pd prints the error foo couldn't create
so the user knows that the object failed to instantiate.
unfortunately there is no way to easily find this failed object (in a huge patch).

this patch uses pd_error() to print the error-message, so the failed object is
findable via:
- Find last error
OR
- Ctrl-clicking on the error-message

the patch also reduces the error to a single line,
so you get

[foo] ... couldn't create

rather than

foo
  ... couldn't create

the buf0-logic works even if resizebytes() actually fails...
