morning Martin, morning list,
just a note: I've patched the pd-0.40-2 source & re-compiled here (separate build, not related to my flext problems mentioned in another thread;-)), and I'm still triggering the #error at line 11 of str.c (apparently induced because !defined(t_string)), despite the fact that my (patched) m_pd.h (which is being properly (#include)d does in fact include the relevant typedef.
Yes, I threw that in at the last moment without really _testing_ it. I can see now that it wouldn't work although it seemed to at the time... It would probably be better to #define PD_STRING_VERSION or something similar in m_pd.h.
I'm running gcc-4.1.2 on debian-unstable/x86, and it seems that here, "typedef...t_string" does *not* in fact #define t_string in the preprocessor sense (a small test program confirms this). [str] builds fine if I comment out the #ifndef...#endif, but I hereby humbly suggest finding a better method to test for pd-internal string support (either a "real" preprocessor macro defined with #define in the patched m_pd.h or an autoconf-style test compile, which is probably way overboard, but at least wouldn't require a new patch)...
at any rate, a thousand thanks for your work, and I'm looking forward to playing with real strings in pd!
Good to know I've done something useful for once! I guess my question now is whether it's best to have a single [str] object with lots of selectors for different functions a la [list] as I did in str.c, or a bunch of objects like [str_join] [str_split] all in a str library, or individual objects in "flatspace".

I have implemented a string type for Pure Data as well as a [str] object that uses it.
