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: puredata Group: feature Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmlnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: allow recursive calls of new_anything()

Initial Comment: currently there is a protection mechanism against recursively calling "new_anything()".

unfortunately this mechanism is the main obstacle that prevents abstractions to be loaded via a "loader" mechanism (and instead requires special case handling)

the attached patch will allow some recursive calling of new_anything() (but still has a protection against stack overflow, at a depth of MAXOBJDEPTH=1000)

Message: I don't remember what the problem was that required stopping recursion -- perhaps it's gone now anyway. But the check that's in the patch will keep things OK anyhow I think.
