Ok, updated the code as before, so it compiles https://github.com/porres/pd-else/commit/4f052fbe4af3889f06eb69c236f04eeae3555485
now I initialize as **x_fval in https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L17 At bangs, I get and set the value of the output atom list as *SETFLOAT(at+i, ***x->x_fval[i]);* https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L27 In the list method, I get atoms' values with **x->x_fval[i] = atom_getfloat(av+i); * https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L36 What's weird to me is now that in the 'new' method, I initialize the variable as *x->x_fval[i] = var_get(x->x_sym[i] = atom_getsymbol(av+i)); * https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L80C9-L80C68 and it works, and no need of '*' in here.. I would expect it though... not sure why, just feels right :) But i am just making sure now that all is ok and that my bugs are elsewhere. Also note I am initializing the data as x->x_fval = getbytes(sizeof(float) * x->x_n); in https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L76 and I free it as freebytes(x->x_fval, x->x_n * sizeof(*x->x_fval)); in https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Code_source/Compiled/control/var.c#L40C5-L40C55 thanks Em seg., 9 de out. de 2023 às 18:28, Alexandre Torres Porres < [email protected]> escreveu: > Em seg., 9 de out. de 2023 às 16:37, IOhannes m zmölnig <[email protected]> > escreveu: > >> Am 9.
