ok thanks for checking :)
does anyone else work on Mint 14 using [0-43.4-extended< ??? if so, could you test this by editing the contents of the [expr] external in the patch I provided, i.e., make the app crash?
- when I attempt to create 10 ratio divisions with outlets (try
adding one to the patch I've attached below) it crashes the app as well
is this a known bug?
kind of. looking at the sources of expr i see (extra/expr~/vexp.h):
<snip> /* * Currently the maximum number of variables (inlets) that are supported * is 10. */ #define MAX_VARS 9 </snip>
and later (showing that not only the "inlets" are limited, but also the number of outlets is hardcoded to MAX_VARS):
<snap> t_outlet *exp_outlet[MAX_VARS]; </snap>
so you cannot have more than 9 inlets. expr should not crash though, and instead print something to the pd-console, that tells you about that problem.
yeah - rather impolite that this bug takes down the entire app when attempting to add a 10th outlet :\
so for now, my hint would be to not use [expr] and instead do explicit patching. in your case this is pretty straightforward (see attached patch...)
will use multiple [expr]'s as a workaround until this is fixed
thanks for your help! kc
