Hi Sebastian,

You don't have to keep track of inlets, and the only reason tmo keep track of outlets is to be able to send messages to them. You're right that the inlets and outlets are freed automatically when the object is freed so you can just forget about them.

Hi, Is it still necessary to store every inlet pointer after the first in the class data structure? it seems like multiple inlets are instead being handled as linked lists in the t_object and are automatically freed by pd_free, but the tutorial still says to allocate and deallocate them manually. Additionally I can't find a single instance of inlet_free being used in pd vanilla in a patchable object destructor.

Thanks in advance
