[PD-dev] Multiinstance support in libpd

[Pierre Guillot]

Hi Thomas,

For multi-instance midi and message hooks, you can have a look at this part
of Camomile:
https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/blob/master/Source/Pd/x_libpd_multi.h
https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/blob/master/Source/Pd/x_libpd_multi.c
This doesn't require any change to Pd.
Cheers,

Pierre
