[PD-dev] Number of objects in pd-extended versus pd vanilla

[Jonathan Wilkes via Pd-dev]

Ok, got a method to spit out a large list of all the class names in my (partial) Pd-l2ork git build.  I'm on Debian so I search all the class paths and create any *.pd_linux objects I find there.

849 classes total (including the built-ins).  I haven't loaded gem, pdp and some others.  Add to that the caveats below and the real total is probably well over 1000 classes.


A few points of interest:
* I'm not even loading all the libraries for which I have binaries.  This is because at least four of the binaries cause a crash when I try to load the respective lib.  I'll give more details later when I inspect the problems, but they look like unmaintained libraries-- cxc and a few others which I believe still ship with Pd-extended, too.

* this includes proxy inlets as well.  I'm not sure there's a way to tell the difference between them and "real" classes.
* after about an hour of head-scratching over a segfault, I realized that I made the assumption that every class loaded has a symbolic name.  This isn't true.  Zexy has two classes, presumably proxy inlets, that don't have a c_name.  I'm actually not sure how to report that in Pd.  Ideally the user should be able to get a list of everything that's had a trip through class_new, even if the developer doesn't want the class to be loadable or potentially clash with some other class name.

or Pd(-vanilla) for that matter.
