symbols in structs - Pd-dev

26 Jul 2005


      hello
as i understood from my experiments with the stucts, the
functionality to get/set symbol fields is not there. this post:  
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2004-08/021838.html
suggests the same thing, and looking at the source i saw
g_traversal.c:
static void get_pointer(t_get *x, t_gpointer *gp)
{
...
for (i = nitems - 1, vp = x->x_variables + i; i >= 0; i--, vp--)
     {
         float f = template_getfloat(template, vp->gv_sym, vec, 1);
         outlet_float(vp->gv_outlet, f);
             /* LATER deal with other types. */
     }
}
and similar code for "set".
am i right in assuming that it's just not been implemented yet?
if so, are there any plans to do this in the near future or would
it be useful to try to implement get/set for the symbols and
send the patch to this list?
