Joseph: Do not be embarrassed. Understanding the engine is relatively opaque IMO and info is scattered in different places.
Christof: IMO these kinds of important details should really by in m_pd.h. The API is pretty stable at this point, so it would pay to fill out the header. This was my approach with libpd: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/src/z_libpd.h We originally had docs for libpd on a wiki page but once things stabilized I did the painful, but IMO necessary, step to move it into minimal header documentation. This also made it trivial to include basic docs when libpd was integrated into the pure-data repo. > On Aug 23, 2023, at 5:05 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2023 17:04:41 +0200 > From: Christof Ressi <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [PD-dev] why must one never send a message from a perform > routine ? > Message-ID: <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" > > Glad that I could help!
