Re: plugin~ crashes on free

Hi all,

One thing this might be: in your "free" callback you shouldn't call pd_free -- it's the other way around, pd_free() calls your "freeing" function before it deletes the object.

Thank you. That appears to be the problem. In fact, I think this solves a problem that someone posted about a month or two ago; creation of plugin~ objects fails gracefully now if the name of the plugin is not provided.

Is it safe to call free() on an object constructed with pd_new? If not, how should I arrange for an object to be deleted if the constructor fails?

If anyone is interested, I can post my (small) patches to plugin~ once I've tested it a little better.

Thanks, Andrew
