[PD-dev] shared class data and functions

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Thanks Charles and Martin!  I forgot the connection between pointers
and array math-- that's very helpful.

Two questions below:

First, I noticed that I get a warning if I write the function to take an
argument of type t_object *x and I send it one of type t_theobjectname
*x.  So I'm guessing I should probably go back to my function calls
and explicitly cast to t_object*, is that right?

Second, (t_foo *)x->member will give me an error: "t_text has no member
named x_member".  I don't understand
why, because the following works:

t_foo *blah = (t_foo *)x;
blah->member etc...
