Hi Marco,

Dear list,

@Miller: thank you for your suggestion. However I used all my (very
limited) bash knowledge and I wrote a simple script that searches the
name in the gensym function after the class_new declaration. Using then
find I look on all src folder.

@Fred: thank you for your words. If my bash knowledge is limited, my web
knowledge is almost zero. However, if it will be possible to open a page
on puredata.info <http://puredata.info> and upload the list sorted (by
library?) I will do it. But I don't know how to create a page on
puredata.info <http://puredata.info> or similar.

My approach is to get a list of object names from the *-help.pd patches. Combined with a search function in the puredata.info server this could result in a object search as part of the deken "Find externals"-plugin. See https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues/133 for more details.

In attachment, the script (just chmod +x objlist.sh ) and the zexy
object list obtained in this way:
find ./zexy/src -name '*.c' -exec ./objlist.sh {} \; > zexy.txt

The objects list I created(1) also have a description harvested from the META subpatch found in most pd-extended help patches and added by Jonathan Wilkes. The first envisioned version will probably not use it, but it could get useful to find the right object if the search result offers two different ones with the same name.

A final note: I am on OS X, so no GNU sed. I downloaded the GNU sed from
MacPorts (gsed). In the script we have to change gsed with sed.

Best regards,

Marco

Greetings,

Fred Jan

1) using a ugly Perl script, but I'll try to make a Python version to match the deken build/package/upload tool.

    Suggestion:  in m_class.c, uncomment this line:

    #if 0
         post("class: %s", c->c_name->s_name);
    #endif

    Then load the libraries one by one - you'll be rewarded with a
    printout of
    all created classes.  If you only want to see ones you can tye in a box
    (supressing invisible helper objects), instead make it:

         if (typeflag == CLASS_PATCHABLE)
             post("class: %s", c->c_name->s_name);

    cheers
