Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
This just doesn't sound workable to me. Then you can never rely on an externals or even abstractions, since they might be an incompatible internal that comes along and overrides them.
The alternative would have been never to include pow~ and abs~ inside of Pd main, but give them different names. I prefer to have them available in Pd main under their "natural" names now.
There will always be backwards incompatible changes in any programming language or framework. Pd only had a very small number of these so far - I can only remember [atan2] - but it must be allowed to create them while moving along.
