If you need to get the arguments to use within the abstraction instance itself, you can do it using the [list-argv] patch I've attached (see the help file). It requires a helper subpatch on [list-argv]'s parent (i.e. the abstraction you want to use it in). This employs an idiom by IOhannes which has seemed to be pretty robust. Warning: there is some dynamic patching that goes on in the helper subpatch to make this work. I use this a lot for abstractions that need to be able to take a variable number of arguments.

Hello Alexandre,
I just try to write an abstraction. I don't know if it could help you, it is just a try. ++

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a way in pure-vanilla Pd to retrieve the list of arguments of an abstraction. I use zexy's [dollarg] for this, but I'm making an effort to see if I can use Pd vanilla only for some abstractions. Is there a way to do this in Pd vanilla?
Thanks,

I think Jonathan Wilkes had a different approach as well, which I hope he'll post.
