an early summer update...
I've been using this branch since IOhannes announced it and I'm still very fond of the features. It works very well for me the way it is designed.
Since I'm using this branch I sometimes experience hangers in the GUI when starting Pd. I start Pd and the Pd console window stays solid gray and no patch window appears, although I see the output of the patch I started Pd with in the terminal I started Pd from (using -stderr). Pd _is_ actually running. After a while - from a few up to 30 seconds - suddenly the patch appears and content of the Pd console is shown. From this moment on things run smoothly. I sometimes - though much fewer times - experience a similar behavior when clicking on a subpatch. It opened, but stayed solid black and the GUI was frozen for a while, though sound was still running. After a while, GUI processing resumed.
My only indication that it is related to less intelligent patching is temporal correlation: The behavior appeared after I compiled the less intelligent patching branch. I was hoping to find more actionable findings than this kind of fuzzy report, but failed to do so and am wondering if others are experiencing a similar behavior with the less intelligent patching branch.
This is on Ubuntu 18.04 amd64.
