[PD] netsend/netreceive + GUI bug

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Hello, IMHE, netsend works perfectly in Linux, OSX and Windows, the only thing to keep in mind is the ip of the computer to control and call the variables are equal, they are sent and those received.

This is however not the case whenever you have a high throughput traffic that arrives form various sources at unexpected intervals as the netreceive sends out its message whenever it receives it rather than waiting for the scheduler interrupt which means when that message lands in the middle of another tcl/tk message that is currently being parsed to be sent out to gui (something that commonly is unlikely to take place when the throughput is low but becomes increasingly more likely as the network traffic increases), you end up with garbage output that results in syntax error on the tcl/tk side and thus tcl/tk becomes unresponsive. This is best observed if you monitor pd->tcl/tk activity with debugger on.

Best wishes,

Ico
