The code in expr_new of vexp_if.c checks for unprefixed creator names, so if the user typed "expr~/expr~" or "extra/expr~" or even "the_libdir_that_I_put_in_my_patch_directory/expr~", the logic defaults to creating an expr_class instead of an expr_tilde_class. It also outputs an error.<br></div><div style="" class=""><br style="" class=""></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Also, the error it outputs has a bug itself-- there is no corresponding variable for the %s in this line:</div><div class=""

I wasn't able to crash on a 64-bit system, although that %s will output a bunch of garbage characters to the Pd window.</div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Obviously expr (and probably a lot of other code) expect the creator to be the same as what the class author specified in the setup routine. So Pd should deliver that symbol without the libdir prefix to the *_new function for that class.</div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I tested on Pd 0.43 from Sourceforge on a 32-bit Wheezy machine, plus Pd-l2ork which forked at 0.42. Has Pd Vanilla addressed this problem since
then?</div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">-Jonathan<br></div></div></body></html>
