morning Martin, morning list,
just a note: I've patched the pd-0.40-2 source & re-compiled here
(separate build, not related to my flext problems mentioned in
another
thread;-)), and I'm still triggering the #error at line 11 of str.c
(apparently induced because !defined(t_string)), despite the fact
that
my (patched) m_pd.h (which is being properly (#include)d does in fact
include the relevant typedef.
Yes, I threw that in at the last moment without really _testing_
it. I can see now that it wouldn't work although it seemed to at
the time...
It would probably be better to #define PD_STRING_VERSION or
something similar in m_pd.h.
I'm running gcc-4.1.2 on debian-unstable/x86, and it seems that here,
"typedef...t_string" does *not* in fact #define t_string in the
preprocessor sense (a small test program confirms this). [str]
builds
fine if I comment out the #ifndef...#endif, but I hereby humbly
suggest
finding a better method to test for pd-internal string support
(either a
"real" preprocessor macro defined with #define in the patched
m_pd.h or
an autoconf-style test compile, which is probably way overboard,
but at
least wouldn't require a new patch)...
at any rate, a thousand thanks for your work, and I'm looking
forward to
playing with real strings in pd!
Good to know I've done something useful for once!
I guess my question now is whether it's best to have a single [str]
object with lots of selectors for different functions a la [list]
as I did in str.c, or a bunch of objects like [str_join]
[str_split] all in a str library, or individual objects in
"flatspace".
I think these should be in their own library called "string", then
each of the objects would in individual objects in that library:
[string/join], [string/split], etc. "flatspace" is not the place for
it, that's for backwards compatibility. I think that the syntax of
[list] is inconsistent without adding anything useful. Everywhere
else in the core of Pd, the object class is always is the first name,
and the rest are arguments.

I have implemented a string type for Pure Data as well as a [str]
object that uses it.
