If you want to maintain straight C compiler compatibility
t_atom* at = (t_atom*)malloc(ac * sizeof(t_atom));
but you have to remember to free(at), &cet. You can avoid the free() if you
HAVE_ALLOCA with
t_atom* at = (t_atom*)alloca(ac * sizeof(t_atom));
if you want to do it the C++ way without a std::vector<t_atom>
t_atom* at = new t_atom[ac];
but again you will have to
delete at;
For my own externals, I write them all in C++ and use STL. Making the
change from the C-world allocation of PD to the C++ world is not so hard,
but it does involve a tiny bit of trickery which I only justify through
expediency.
