[PD] "sorry: only 5 args typechecked; use A_GIMME"

[Chris Chronopoulos]

Hi list,

Some time ago I wrote an external for generating euclidean rhythms. It
worked in pd-extended (0.43.4), which I was using at the time. Now I've
moved over to vanilla 0.47.1, and when I try to instantiate it, I get the
following error:

class euclid: sorry: only 5 args typechecked; use A_GIMME
objectmaker_euclid: only 5 arguments are typecheckable; use A_GIMME
Bad arguments for message 'euclid' to object 'objectmaker'

So I tried what it suggests, with A_GIMME, 0, and now I can instantiate it,
but it doesn't work. As soon as I feed it a bang, Pd crashes with terminal
output "Floating point exception".

Code is attached. Any suggestions? What's this typechecking/A_GIMME
business about anyway?
