Summary: .xa10120: no such object

Initial Comment:
Hi,

This seems to happen under "random" circumstances. It happened to me with every kind of patches (simple and complex) and usually NOT in a sistematic manner (that is, the same patch which once triggers the bug, after restarting PD never does again...)

However, this patch that I attach does sistematically make this happen, at least to me under Windows XP.

The following error message appears in the output window:

>> .xa10120: no such object

This particular patch uses "scripting", i.e. it creates and deletes an object in a subpatch iteratively; however, I saw this same bug happen a lot of times with patches which didn't make any use of scripting at all. I attach this just because it is the only one I have that is sure to trigger the bug.

Sorry I can't "isolate" it further.

shall we close this and re-open it whenever the bug occurs again?

I couldn't reproduce this on Windows XP SP2 with Pd-extended
0.40.3-20080504

I guess it may be windows-specific.
I am reproducing it right now with 0.40-2 vanilla on Windows XP.

Can anyone else reproduce it in windows?
(does anyone else use windows?)

Please note that it is NOT in ANY WAY specific to dinamically creating
patches or objects in patches. It happens to me a lot every day working
with patches that never do anything dynamically and that don't use dyn (nor
any external for what it's worth).

However, here is a typical situation which triggers the bug in my everyday
life:
-work with some rather "big" patch which uses a lot of abstractions (which
I did myself), including a some of them used more than once i.e. a few
instances of the same abstraction; and abstractions contain other
abstractions and so on (no weird infinite loop or anything, just a bit
complex)
-open (with file/open) separately the file of an abstraction which is
being used in the main patch (or inside some other abstraction used in the
main patch etc), edit and save it.
This will for some reason automatically open and close all patch windows
which contain occurences of the saved abstraction (which is quite slow and
quite annoying but is better than older versions which used to open them
without closing), AND produce the mentioned error message.

When this happen, I'm not sure whether the stability and correct behaviour
of PD is compromised, so I usually restart it.


Note however that this is a lot different from the situation exemplified
by the attached patch, and both trigger the bug.

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem on win32 pd vanilla 0.40-2,
but,

I've had this problem a lot of time on win32, it always happen when I
create patches dynamically, after an amount of created(/destroyed) patches,
the object maker isn't able to make any new object and send these tk path
names error messages.

 Sometimes the tk binding become erroneous within this problem, yesterday
when the bug occured, the Font Bomb windows was opened with clicking on
'FileMenu' button, Media Settings on 'Cancel' button, and SavePanel on 'Ok'
button

 But I haven't been able to determine if this is caused by an external or
not.
The problem also occur when the patches are created with the [dyn~]
external.

I can not reproduce it either on OS X using vanilla 0.40-2 and extended
0.39.2 test7 and RC1. Increaseing the number in the msg does noet seam to
provoke the error either.

unfortunately i cannot reproduce this with your patch on linux with
pd-0.39-2 (vanilla) and pd-0.40-1 (vanilla).
