hello,
I'm currently experiencing what i think is reuse of signal vectors in the dsp-chain. it looks like input-vectors get overwritten with the output-vector before I'm done with my multichannel processing. in MSP there's a flag to prevent this. it's part of the x->pxobject the x-
x_obj.z_misc = Z_NO_INPLACE; flag. is there something equivalent in PD?
from the MSP docs: "If you set this bit in z_misc, the compiler will
even though msp is a port of pd, pd is not msp. there is no such flag in pd, you have to take care of not overwriting the input signal yourself.
what i could glean from the docs/pdf's there is no way a signal inlet could be used for message-input at the same time, is that correct or is there a hack to get this work? i specifically need the left-most inlet to set the objects state etc. what the standard way of dealing with this in PD?
i don't know which docs/pdf's you are exactly reading, but pd has no problem with the first (leftmost) inlet accepting both signals and messages. there are plenty of externals that do that. have a look at [fiddle~] or [bonk~].
