Hallo, Jonathan Wilkes hat gesagt: // Jonathan Wilkes wrote:
Well, if you send the message "list 7" to [symbol] it will output "symbol list," when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought to output "symbol float."
Here (Pd version 0.42.4) [symbol], the object box, outputs "symbol list". However [symbol, the graphical atom, shows "float". Probably some artifact of automatic converson going on behind our backs. A third possibility would be to bail out with an error "No message for list/float". I would prefer this behaviour. It's consistent with the behaviour of [float] receiving a "list abc" message.
Regarding all_about_data_types.pd: Personally I wouldn't trust this patch.
