This is unsafe unless you obtain the "pd lock" (by calling sys_lock() and sys_unlock()) around the whole block of code or else around each individual binbuf call.

Hey there,

I just would like to confirm.

We are using this bit of code to talk to PD:

t_binbuf *b = binbuf_new();
binbuf_text(b, msg, strlen(msg));
binbuf_eval(b, 0, 0, 0);
binbuf_free(b);

Question is whether that is safe to use from another thread or not. It seems like it is not.

Can anyone confirm?

cheers

Torsten
