Sorry. The comment for t_gpointer says that it (i.e., the gpointer) can point
to a gobj in a glist. At the same time it looks like it is limited to just
scalars, so I was wondering if I could abuse it to store references to t_texts.
I'm putting together an object to query the attributes of a Pd object on a
canvas. I already have an object to query canvas info, and I want a few
methods in [canvasinfo] that will output references to objects on the canvas
(for example, a "find" method). So I was wondering about abusing gpointers to
send the references between [canvasinfo] and [objectinfo].
Now I'm thinking I'll just send around floats to represent the index number of
the object. That adds a floatinlet to the interface of [objectinfo] (to set
the canvas "level") as well as a loop to arrive at the relevant object. But
that's still probably easier than what I'm wondering about doing with
t_gpointer.
