It's "pd_findbyclass" that wasn't working, because he was asking for a t_class* which had actually another value than the one he was really looking for.

He could have asked for the right t_class* value by calling "pd_findbyclassname" first.

Or he can share the variable, either using "extern" and ensuring the right order of loading of the 2 externals, or grouping both objects into the same binary file (i.e only one "external").

Sounds like a use case for pd_findbyclassname

I'm confused. I thought Eric said pd_findbyclassname didn't work for this in this case.
