[PD-dev] I am really confused by this C problem - (solved)

[Ed Kelly]

Hi Jamie, and the devlist,

Turns out you don't need t_symbol *s after all. It is the cause of the problem, but how I'm not sure, so federico was right about the arguments to the method. I'm sure someone told me in Montreal that you needed the symbol, but since it isn't used in the method it makes perfect sense that it's only for calling the method.

Simple really! I'll post to CVS tomorrow when I've tidied up.

thanks for testing and proving I wasn't in a dreamworld - so now to bed ;D

Yes, but that doesn't fix Ed's problem, using the explicit cast just
gives a different incorrect result. I had a little play with the code
and couldn't get it to work either. 

I'm also confused by the problem, and curious to know the solution...
