The user is initializing and potentially populating many t_binbufs through word_init after they enlarge an array with [setsize].

noticed this while reworking your old DT_LIST field to create canvases as data fields. I do [struct test canvas foo bar], which reads an abstraction name bar.pd (if it exists) into a binbuf associated with the corresponding struct. Then when I create a scalar, it evaluates that t_binbuf which creates a hidden toplevel "bar.pd" canvas. The fun comes when using the "canvas foo bar" field in a template for an array field-- then I can use [setsize] to create a massive number of abstractions at once. But when I decrease the array size my abstractions linger until I "vis" them and close them.<br clear="none">> <br clear="none">> So I'm guessing it's the same problem with DT_TEXT, no?<br clear="none">> <br clear="none">> -Jonathan</div><br clear="none"><br clear="none">> _______________________________________________<br clear="none">> <a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Pd-list@lists.iem.at"
