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: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Cyrille Henry (nusmuk) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: pd console can make pd unresponsive
Initial Comment: When working on a patch, it is possible to generate a lot of warning messages. By example by duplicating an abstraction that use a foo table i've got this warning: warning: foo: multiply defined
The problem is when these messages are repeated so often that pd get totally unresponsive. "print" can also make pd unusable.
I think it is a bug as i already lost some work, manually killing pd...
I don't know how to solve this. maybe printing : "too many messages" every 100ms better than trying to print them all.

printing to stderr is usually faster.
and most xterms can only hold a certain number of messages - unlike the pd-console which tries to keep all of them, which will fill up your memory and make things even worse.
