Hi, do you ever actually need to call void inlet_free(t_inlet *x) and void outlet_free(t_outlet *x) explicitly when writing externals? I'm talking about code like this:
int i=0; for(i=0; i<x->x_numouts; i++) { outlet_free(x->x_out[i]); } freebytes(x->x_out, x->x_numouts*sizeof(t_outlet*));
I see that you should free the t_outlet* array which holds the references to your outlets but I thought that the outlets itself get deleted automatically when the object's lifetime expires... most of the time I don't see people freeing inlets/outlets, so I was wondering if there are situations where it *is* necessary?
