You'd store the number of elements in the list at the first index of a fifo entry and the number of elements in the symbol or float just before the data for each atom -- on read you'd accumulate the atoms of the list and stop. The next index would be the number of elements in the next fifo list entry.

I might be reading it wrong, but Matt's description sounds like a way to queue atoms, not Pd messages.

With the "text" field of data structures it might be possible to add Pd messages to that design--
that is, you could have a data structure array where each element is a text field. But
Pd is still going to have to allocate memory for each text field as you add it to the queue.

I was/am interested in a FIFO implementation for Pd messages of any size
(containing symbols and/or floats).

Why are you asking? Do you know a way to works well specifically for
single atoms?
