[PD-dev] porting MSP externals - sysmem_newptrclear and sysmem_freeptr

Hi Devs, I'm attempting to port a library of MSP externals for LPC analysis and resynthesis.I've come across these elements from the Max API: t_ptr sysmem_newptrclear (long size)andvoid sysmem_freeptr (void *ptr) My head has hit a block, and I need to learn about how Pd deals with these aspects of memory / pointer allocation.Do I need to just init a pointer in the code? enclosed is the original of one of the externals (mbc.blit~.c) and my first attempt at porting it (lpc_blit~.c) Enlightnment awaits...I hope.Ed _-_-_-_-_-_-_-^-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
