Hello, all, I've been having some trouble with a "save" subroutine. I want to send my external a message "save filename" and have it write to filename. The function is set up like so,
class_addmethod(controlfreak_tilde_class, (t_method)controlfreak_tilde_save, gensym("save"), A_SYMBOL,0);
I've tried passing the symbol by reference and by value, but I always have the atom_string routine say, "consistency check failed" What am I doing wrong, here?
Probably instr isn't pointing to a valid atom. You need to make sure instr->a_type == A_SYMBOL.

void controlfreak_tilde_save (t_controlfreak_tilde *x, t_atom *instr) { char *filename=alloca(32*sizeof(char)); atom_string(instr, filename, 32); printf(filename); int fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY || O_CREAT); int i; if (fd == -1) printf("can't open file\n"); else if (x->w == NULL) printf("start audio first\n"); else { i = write(fd, &x->n, sizeof(int)); i = write(fd, x->w, (x->n/2 + 1)*sizeof(float)); } i = close(fd); }
