Then what should I call it?
"freesend" or "destroysend" or "destructorsend"
i don't know, there isn't a standard word for that at the pd level... at
the C level, Pd internals call it "free". however, those "free" callbacks
don't free the structure itself, they're more like a C++ destructor. In
C++, you call operator delete, which calls the destructor and then call
the equivalent of free(). So in a sense, "destroysend" or "destructorsend"
would be better.
"On top of this, it gets triggered in the
middle of deleting a patch, which means you can't rely on the patch being
complete and you can't rely on the patch being empty either. "
This is not an issue with this external as it is made to annonce to another
patch that the current patch is being deleted.
You are doing what is perhaps the best thing that can be done without
modifying pd itself, but I'd rather have [closebang], perhaps named
differently.
