Re: [PD-dev] getting the classname in an class

I tried this in entry_new() and entry_save(), and in both, "binbuf" ends being nothing useful (i.e. segfault):

 t_glist *glist = (t_glist *) canvas_getcurrent();
 t_canvas *canvas = (t_canvas*) glist_getcanvas(glist);
 t_binbuf *binbuf = canvas->gl_obj.te_binbuf;
 t_atom *ap = binbuf_getvec(binbuf);
 t_symbol *classname = atom_getsymbol(ap);

What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know what you're trying to do but it's normal to check for NULL pointers after each of the above statements. That should give you a clue. I suspect that the binbuf doesn't exist if you didn't allocate it yourself.
