Many thanks for the clarification, Miller.
The challenge I am trying to figure out is a memory leak report that Jonathan shared with me. See:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605235&group_id=55...
Basically deleting and creating the same object (in this case through script as that is obviously quicker than doing it manually) keeps pd (or pd-l2ork in this case) growing in terms of its memory footprint. I was hoping that closing the patch would free that up but it doesn't...
Hence, my little adventure into figuring out why the said call. I am sure there are others as even disabling that call doesn't help much in curbing the growing memory footprint (at least over here).

I don't remember why it's there (and perhaps it's no longer necessary) - but I suspect it had something to do with a subtle problem when deleting a GOP whose interior got mad wieh there was no rtext for the owning object.
The rtext eventualy goes away when the window is closed - but perhaps it's a problem if there's a self-editing patch that creates and deletes 1000s of objects in an open window?

Does anyone know why does the following exist inside the glist_delete function inside g_graph.c:
/* if we're a drawing command, erase all scalars now,before deleting it; we'll redraw them once it's deleted below. */ if (drawcommand) canvas_redrawallfortemplate(template_findbyname(canvas_makebindsym( glist_getcanvas(x)->gl_name)), 2); if (glist_isvisible(canvas)) gobj_vis(y, x, 0); --> if (x->gl_editor && (ob = pd_checkobject(&y->g_pd))) --> rtext_new(x, ob); if (x->gl_list == y) {
That rtext is never freed after that so unless I am missing something I see no reason why we would want to do this. Any ideas?
