Hi Hans,

I have incorporated the "OVERLAPPED" asynchronous mode code for
Windows from Piotr Majdak in the [comport], and now it crashes
pretty regularly. I just committed the comport-stress-test.pd,
which makes Pd crash within a couple minutes. It seems to be
caused by transferring a lot of data from Pd to the serial port.
FYI: I am using an Arduino to test.We get a lot of data from serial port to pd and for this direction
[comport] works in the asynchronous mode. In the transmitting mode,
we send a few bytes only, so we did not any tests...I don't remember if I've changed anything in the transmitting
section of the code - I'll have a look ASAP.Can you send me your stress-the-comport patch per email? I'll give
it a try...
Its in CVS, in externals/iem/comport/comport/comport-stress-test.pd
It seems that only transmitting data from Pd to the comport causes
the crashes. Receiving at full speed seems to be no problem.
