hello, i don't have the answer but you are trying to do something very similar to the [value] object. maybe looking at it's source code would help. it is in pd/src/x_connnective.c

Hi all,

I'm writing a series of Pd externals... and I would like to have a few global variables accessible from the C code of all these externals.

These variables are not necessarily Pd related - for example, I might have a dynamic linked-list that exists in C, but I do not want it in the local space of any one external. In fact, I would like for several Pd externals to have access to this list.

So the question is: how/where do I initially define these variables? How do I tell my new externals where to find these variables?

...I assume that the answer to this includes the use of things like gensym(), pd_bind(), etc.

Thanks in advance, Mike Wozniewski
