The comment for </span><span style="" class="">t_gpointer</span> says that it (i.e., the gpointer) can point to a gobj in a glist. At the same time it looks like it is limited to just scalars, so I was wondering if I could abuse it to store references to t_texts.<br><br>I'm putting together an object to query the attributes of a Pd object on a canvas. I already have an object to query canvas info, and I want a few methods in [canvasinfo] that will output references to objects on the canvas (for example, a "find" method). So I was wondering about abusing gpointers to send the references between [canvasinfo] and [objectinfo].<br><br>Now I'm thinking I'll just send around floats to represent the index number of the object. That adds a
floatinlet to the interface of [objectinfo] (to set the canvas "level") as well as a loop to arrive at the relevant object. But that's still probably easier than what I'm wondering about doing with t_gpointer.<br><br>-Jonathan<br><br><br style=""><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="" class="" dir="ltr"> <font style="" class="" face="Arial" size="2"> On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 4:43 AM, Miller Puckette <msp@ucsd.edu> wrote:<br style="" class=""> </font> </div> <br style="" class=""><br style="" class=""> <div style="" class="">what's the "it" that can point to a gobj?
