Yes, they're there but I've never used them and so they never got properly debugged.
I have the expression, that data structures are a bit underused by the Pd community in general. Somehow they seem to be less "sexy" compared to Gem or PDP. I guess the only one I know who uses (or has used) them a lot is Orm Finnendahl...
Maybe my upcoming "Structures for Dummies" tutorial can generate more feedback. At least I hope it does. But I'll keep it secret until after the pd~conv.
You can also put lists inside structs too (so you can have a list of arrays of lists, etc) but this has also never been debugged and crashes Pd when you try it.
I did not yet arrive at lists...
Anyway I have found some other fun ways to crash Pd by using structs. Maybe my favourite one so far is to forget to give a struct a name. Creating a [struct float x float y] will happily let Pd reach Nirvana in no time.
