Re: [PD-dev] need to find symbol of current patch (from code)

Okay, so I've found the following function:

t_canvas *z = canvas_getcurrent();

Now does anyone know how to get the symbol name for that canvas? I need something like z->s_thing so that I can send a message to the canvas, but t_canvas has no s_thing member.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm trying to send a typedmess() from within the C-code of an external to the patch that it currently resides on. But in order to do so, I need the symbol name of the patch.

So the question:

...

From within a method call of an external, can I somehow find the pointer

to the symbol name of the current patcher?

Thanks to anyone who can help! -Mike Wozniewski
