Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: libdir loader can't handle classname same as library name

Initial Comment: with Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080516-macosx104-i386.dmg the sssad-help.pd file does not work out of the box.

The problem is somewhere in the relationship of the libdir loader and Pd's logic for checking if it has already loaded a binary library. If you load a libdir called "blah", you won't be able to load [blah/blah] or [blah].

creating a [sssad] object in pd-extended causes the following error in the console:

libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path

...about 1000 times, and then finally says:

error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached sssad ... couldn't create

several people have suggested that there is a glitch in the libdir loader that won't allow for an abstraction to have the same name as its enclosing folder.

I named the private subdirectory "_sssad" just randomly, loosly inspired by Pyton's convention of using underscores for private stuff. I wasn't thinking of some libdir conflict at that time at all. As the sssad "library" consists of only one object I didn't consider namespacing for it at all.

I haven't used libdirs so far, but I think, objects which have the same name as the libdir should be possible as well.

so the problem is that the libdir for sssad is currently called 'sssad'. Since the main object is also called 'sssad', there is a nameconflict. Frank must have found this himself, since he named the included folder '_sssad'. I am not really sure how to solve this, except include sssad in a different library.

Any suggestions?
