Hi,
(I'm working on the pd~convention workshop regarding data structures, so excpect some more data structure related questions from me the next time... ;)
I'd like to test using symbols as fields in [struct] objects, but I'm getting the impression, that this doesn't work or isn't implemented yet. At least it's not used in the data-structures example patches.
Nevertheless the documentation mentions symbols as a possible scalar type to use in structs.
I can create a [struct somename symbol s] object just fine. Pd even creates a [drawsymbol s] object which I found by guessing its name. However when I try to create such a template using
[append subpatchname s]
[append] does not accept a symbol in its first inlet:
error: append: no method for 'symbol'
It also doesn't want a float in this inlet, which is to be expected though. In fact, it doesn't accept anything anymore.
Am I right to assume, that symbol-fields aren't supported yet? Or am I doing something wrong in attached patch?
Ciao
