[PD-dev] ugly segfaults with external...

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Hi all,

I seem to be getting some very ugly segfaults from strange interactions 
between my chaos math externals (lorenz, henon, rossler).

Each external works perfectly on thier own, but if I put more than one in 
a patch, or changle the name of one to another in an object box I get 
strange values output (like + or nan) , or segfaults. 

I'm just sending the henon external, the other two work just the same but 
with different equations. 

Here is my Source:
------------------

#include "m_pd.h"
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

t_class *myclass;

typedef struct thisismystruct
{
        t_object myobj;
        double a,b,lx0,ly0;
        t_outlet *y_outlet;
}       mystruct;

void calculate(mystruct *x)
{
        double lx0,ly0,lx1,ly1;
        double a,b;

        a = x->a;
        b = x->b;
        lx0 = x->lx0;
        ly0 = x->ly0;

        lx1 = (ly0 + 1) - (a * pow(lx0,2));
        ly1 = b * lx0;
        x->lx0 = lx1;
        x->ly0 = ly1;

        outlet_float(x->myobj.ob_outlet, (t_float)lx1);
        outlet_float(x->y_outlet, (t_float)ly1);
}

void reset(mystruct *x, t_floatarg a, t_floatarg b)
{
        x->a = (double)a;
        x->b = (double)b;
        x->lx0 = 1;
        x->ly0 = 1;
}

void *henon_new(void)
{
        mystruct *x = (mystruct *)pd_new(myclass);
        x->a = 1.4;
        x->b = 0.3;
        x->lx0 = 1;
        x->ly0 = 1;

        outlet_new(&x->myobj, &s_float);                /* Default float 
outlet */
        x->y_outlet = outlet_new(&x->myobj, &s_float);
        return (void *)x;
}


void henon_setup(void)
{
        myclass = class_new(gensym("henon"),    /* symname is the 
symbolic name */
        (t_newmethod)henon_new,                 /* Constructor Function */
        0,                                              /* Destructor 
Function */
        sizeof(mystruct),                               /* Size of the 
structure */
        CLASS_DEFAULT,                                  /* Graphical 
Representation */
        0);                                             /* 0 Terminates 
Argument List */

        class_addbang(myclass, (t_method)calculate);
        class_addmethod(myclass,B
                        (t_method)reset,
                        gensym("reset"),
                        A_DEFFLOAT,
                        A_DEFFLOAT,
                        0);
}

Here is my GDB Output:

Thanks for your help, I would appriciate any help/pointers anyone would 
provide.

Thanks
