Hi list,So I'm looking at t_gpointer in m_pd.h, and I'm noticing that for 
arrays it has gp_w which is a union _word pointer.  This is the raw data that I 
was asking about in my previous request for a free lesson. :)
However, in the code for [setsize] the data is resized dynamically using 
realloc.
So...
Suppose I have a [pointer] in a patch which is pointing to a nested array, and 
a [setsize] which is pointing to the container array.  If I send an enormous 
float to [setsize], isn't it likely that realloc will move the data and my 
[pointer] data will silently become stale?  After all, gp_w has no idea if 
realloc moves the data.  Seems like it'd be pointing to the wrong place and 
likely to cause a crash.
I don't have access to a running Pd instance atm, otherwise I'd test...
Thanks,Jonathan
