It's a bug in the error message, at the very least. This stuff needs to be consistent, otherwise it makes it hard to understand and debug. If [list( is equal to [bang( then it always needs to be equal to [bang(. Right now, it is only sometimes equal to [bang( Try defining the current behavior, then I think it's more clearly a bug. "An empty [list( is a bang unless you are sending to the right inlet of some objects, like [select]." .hc > > Ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__ > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- You can't steal a gift.
