[PD] writing externs that call methods of objects through outlets

Hi,
I'm writing an external and I would like instances of my external to
directly call methods in objects attached to it's outlets. Strange, yes,
but I would like to see if it's possible.
I have a piece of code I found in a post that traverses the outlets
using obj_nexttraverseoutlet and returns t_object pointers. This is very
cool, but how do I call methods given the t_objects? In fact, what is a
t_object?
Heres's the code. For now it just prints the class type of the connected
objects.
void myfunction(t_myobj *x) {
post("these are the types of objects we feed:");
t_object *src, *dest;
src = &(x->x_obj);
t_outconnect *oc;
t_outlet *op;
t_inlet *ip;
int outno = obj_noutlets(src);
int inno;
while (outno--) {
oc = obj_starttraverseoutlet(src, &op, outno);
while (oc) {
oc = obj_nexttraverseoutlet(oc, &dest, &ip, &inno);
post("\t-> [%s]", class_getname(*(t_pd *)dest));
}
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Wozniewski
