<div>anyway, I agree that ideally the structure of a library should be totally transparent to the user.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> Theoretically you could have a loader branch that would look for the "foo" binary in that case, load it, and then

<div> </div>
<div>that's not a bad idea. doesn't seem too complicated to me. I might give it a shot.</div>

<div>ok, I see. you usually don't load individual classes with [declare -lib] but only (multi-objects-per-binary) libraries.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the workaround usually is to do [declare -path zexy -lib zexy]. -path is for abstractions and single-object-binaries and -lib is for the multi-object-per-binary library (if it exists).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the problem was that with single-object-binaries you can do [zexy/atoi] but with multi-object-binaries you can't (unless they added such creators). this is what my patch mainly tries to solve.</div>

<div>> ah, of course that makes sense.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>>> with multi-binary style I can do [declare -lib foo/bar] whereas with the single-binary style that won't work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> I'm not sure I understand. Can give an example?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That's the libdir prefix logic. Say I have a "foo" library where one of many binaries inside "extra/foo/" is </div>
<div>named bar.pd_linux. Then I can do [declare -lib foo/bar] to load that library.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the other hand, if "foo" was compiled as a single binary with many classes inside it, then there is </div>
<div>just "extra/foo/foo.pd_linux." In that case [declare -lib foo/bar] won't work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Theoretically you could have a loader branch that would look for the "foo" binary in that case, load it, and then </div>
<div>search for a "bar_setup" routine. But that's getting pretty damned complicated. And without a spec for </div>
<div>what the loader is supposed to be doing in the first place I'd be hesitant to add that.</div>
