[PD-dev] roadmap for Pd-0.49?

[Christof Ressi]

Hi Miller, what problem do you see with this solution in particular: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/383 ?

you're right that deleting a scalar by pointer will invalidate all other pointers in the glist, but there's really no way around it...*) it also happens when you delete a scalar with the mouse. if it's fine there, why not also allow it via a method? at least I'm providing a valid pointer to the next scalar in the list.

Christof

*) unless we change the whole ref counting system to be per scalar and not per glist - which I'm not going to advocate here :-)
