Re: [PD-dev] avoiding reuse of vectors in multichannel external

hello IOhannes, Tim and Thomas,

there is no such flag in pd, you have to take care of not overwriting the input signal yourself.

i thought so, how do you all live with this? buffering the vectors seems like a terrible waste of cycles...

but why? if you have this flag, someone (the application) has to take care of not reusing the signal-vectors. this involves copying the data to somewhere else. if there is no such flag and you want to acoid reusing the signal-vectors, you have to copy the data to somewhere else.

so the "terrible waste of cycles" will always happen, the decision to make is whether max/msp does it automatically or whether the pd-developer has to do it by hand.
