Oh yeah, attached is the source code and compiled versions for linux and window. I do not have cvs access. Could someone please include it in the cvs and adapt the makefile accordingly? Also could someone compile it for OS X intel and PPC and send me the binary?

getdollarzero can get the dollar zero of any parent.<br>For example, lets say a patch called "top" contains the abstraction 1. <br>The abstraction 1 contains the abstraction 2. <br>The abstraction 2 contains the abstraction 3.
<br>Well, with getdollarzero, abstraction 1 through 3 can know the dollar zero of the patch "top". <br>The patch "top" becomes the "root" patch. <br>All the abstractions 1 through 3 have in common this "root" patch.
<br><br>This is what I needed it for: <br>1) I am currently developing a state saving system that does not require the "$0" arguments (of Memento for example). The state of all elements that have the same "root" patch are saved together.
<br>2) I am also creating a timing architecture for PD and I wanted all elements in the same "root" to be synchronized together.<br><br>Tom<div><span class="e" id="q_114b3afbbc7029a5_1"><br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<a href="http://puredata.info/docs/developer/mingw" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://puredata.info/docs/developer/mingw</a>) I was able to compile a test external on windows with mingw.
<br><br>I then started making a new external called getdollarzero based on getdir (from ggee) and parentdollarzero (from iemlib2). I compiled it and it works but I had to: <br>1) remove Guenter's hack from getdir's source code
<br>2) and therefore include g_canvas.h<br><br>My question is the following: why is there a hack in the first place? If I do not use it will my code crash PD in some way (I compiled against PD 0.4 and worked fine during testing)?
