[PD-dev] How to construct a dynamic length list in PD external?

[Mike McGonagle]

Why not just create a binbuf object, append all the atoms to it, and
then extract the length and atoms vector...

t_atom a;
t_binbuf b = binbuf_new();
while(more_data) {
   SETSYMBOL(&a, camera_data);
   binbuf_add(b, 1, &a);
}
outlet_anything(x -> x_obj.ob_outlet, &s_list, binbuf_getnatom(b),
binbuf_getvec(b));
binbuf_free(b);
