Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: pd-devel Group: v0.42 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Pointers and Lists Bug

Initial Comment: Hey, might it be that pointers and lists don't go well together?? I wanted to make a list containing pointers.. ( Most (Some) "list"-externals don't recognize this construction. They rather do if the 1st element is not a pointer. )

I can get an element with [list split], but what comes out is not a pointer anymore... [rawprint] says it is still a list ( [print] tells me it's just a pointer) , but [list trim] won't change anything!!! ..And a [pointer] doesn't recognize it either way..

Argh...

( I can't really remember, but there are other situations when there is "internal" confusion about datatypes) And I find it confusing myself as well.. especially these "hidden datatypes" and the "autoconversion" sometimes make things complicated/ weird internally and externally.

It's Pd-ext 0.42.5 on windows

(Btw. please update the windows-autobuilds as well)
