Ok, I understand.
Then what should I call it? "freesend" or "destroysend" or "destructorsend" or "free_send" or "destroy_send" or "destructor_send"
"On top of this, it gets triggered in the middle of deleting a patch, which means you can't rely on the patch being complete and you can't rely on the patch being empty either. "
This is not an issue with this external as it is made to annonce to another patch that the current patch is being deleted.

Since I started making externals for PD, here is a new one: [closemsg X] It sends a bang to X when it is destroyed. It therefore acts as a closebang. See attached source and i386 linux binary.
It shouldn't be called "close" because [closebang] is made to be banged just before deleting objects in the patch, just like [initbang] and [loadbang] are made to be banged after actual creation. [closemsg] gets triggered too late for that. On top of this, it gets triggered in the middle of deleting a patch, which means you can't rely on the patch being complete and you can't rely on the patch being empty either.
