okay, Thanks, Frank I'll route these questions to the right list, from now on (except this message). and I think I uderstand how this will work now.... in this example: static void *route_new(t_symbol *s, int argc, t_atom *argv)
int argc is the count of the number of arguments, and t_atom *argv must be the vector of arguments themselves. (this I'm inferring from seeing it in code) I still don't get what t_symbol *s is for, yet.
I think, s holds the name of the object, "route" in this case. IIR it's required if you construct an object with "A_GIMME"-arguments.
This is taken from IOhannes Externals-Howto:
The arguments of the constructor-method depend on the object-arguments defined with class_new.
