Hi all --

both the array of t_signal pointers and the t_signals themselves are temporarily constructed to last just for the duration of the dsp() call and then the space is re-used.

The only thing you see from dsp() that will still be there afterward is the array of t_samples pointed to in the t_signal structures.

This ought to be documented somewhere :)

why is it even possible that in three calls to the 'dsp' method in three different objects, two of them receive the same t_signal pointer pointer ?

static void dsp (BFObject *bself, t_signal **sp) { post("dsp bself=%p signal**=%p",bself,sp); }

gives me :

dsp bself=0x8cc4dd8 signal**=0x8cdb288 dsp bself=0x8cc4130 signal**=0x8cdb288 dsp bself=0x8cd4868 signal**=0x8cda8a0

and as you see, two signal** are identical.

why ? I don't get it.
