Ok, I've seen a number of different ideas for how to get the complete classname an object was instantiated with from within that class, but I haven't been able to get one working.

Krzysztof did this in externals/miXed/cyclone/hammer/universal.c:

t_gobj *g;

for (g = glist->gl_list; g; g = g->g_next)

if (pd_class(&g->g_pd)->c_name == cname) /* LATER rethink */

pd_bang(&g->g_pd);

I tried this in my code, but got an error:

binbuf_addv(b, "ssiisiiss", gensym("#X"),gensym("obj"),

x->x_obj.te_xpix, x->x_obj.te_ypix, pd_class(&z->g_pd)->c_name,

x->x_width, x->x_height, x->x_bgcolour, x->x_fgcolour);

entry.c:504: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

I think IOhannes recommended this, but I get the same error:

binbuf_addv(b, "ssiisiiss", gensym("#X"),gensym("obj"),

x->x_obj.te_xpix, x->x_obj.te_ypix, (*(t_pd *)x)->c_name->s_name,

x->x_width, x->x_height, x->x_bgcolour, x->x_fgcolour);

entry.c:504: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Any suggestions?
