Aha.. it's buggy. You have to say "declare -stdpath ../extra/iemabs" (because, by mistake, it's relative to the pd/src directory!). I think I should fix this (hoping nobody else gets bitten in the opposite direction)...

hi again
from the help-file i got an idea, how about it is supposed to work, but i can't get it work. can you make me a working example? did you test this feature?
here a real-world example (from my first post in this thread):
location of pd: /usr/local/bin/pd
and i wanted to load [bp2~] from 'iemabs': /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemabs/
therefore i tried: [declare -stdpath iemabs] (assuming 'extra' is the standard location) [declare -stdpath ../lib/pd/extra/iemabs] (relative to the pd binary) [declare -stdpath extra/iemabs]
for each example, i first saved the patch with the [declared] and reloaded it and tried to instantiate [bp2~], but it always failed. i can't imagine, what argument i am supposed to give to [declare -stdpath].
here is what i get from verbose output:

(sorry for this huge post)
i noticed, that it never tries a combination of the prefix '/usr/local/<whatever>' and the argument i give, wich means, that it just doesn't try 'standard' locations, as the help-files mentions. it only tries either '/usr/local/<whatever>/<classname>.<suffix>' or '/<path_of_the_patch>/<argument_i_give_to_declare>.

Oops, my mistake.
In "declare" systax, "-stdpath" does take an argument... if you give it foo/bar, for example, the directory searched is .../pd/foo/bar.
My bad for naming it the same as the command-line argument, which does something different.

In vanilla at least, -stdpath and -nostdpath simpl turn on and off searching in the "extra" directory of Pd. It takes no argument.
Roman is not even talking about that feature. He's talking about the other feature of the same name. It's in a class named [declare]. You added [declare] in 0.40. It is implemented by canvas_declare, a function that you wrote for 0.40. That feature takes an argument, as you wrote in the code:
else if ((argc > i+1) && !strcmp(flag, "-stdpath")) { strncpy(strbuf, sys_libdir->s_name, MAXPDSTRING-3); strbuf[MAXPDSTRING-4] = 0; strcat(strbuf, "/"); strncpy(strbuf, atom_getsymbolarg(i+1, argc, argv)->s_name, MAXPDSTRING-strlen(strbuf)); strbuf[MAXPDSTRING-1] = 0; e->ce_path = namelist_append(e->ce_path, strbuf, 0); i++; }Because atom_getsymbolarg takes an argument, and i++ augments the counter so that it points to the beginning of the next option, which is after that argument. This is what you wrote.
