Hi list,Some time ago I wrote a bunch of pd externals in C++, some using flext, some by tweaking xcode projects until they worked. Yesterday I've been trying the examples from the pure-data/externals-howto github repo, with the idea in mind to write my own clean pd library. The first example compiled right away, so I decided to tweak it to use C++ instead of C.
Here is what I did :
- rename helloworld.c to helloworld.cpp
- surround the whole code with extern "C" { ... }
- change class.sources = helloworld.c to class.sources = helloworld.cpp
in the Makefile.
And I got this error :/Applications/Pd-0.47-1-64bit.app/Contents/Resources/src/m_pd.h:476:17: note:
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int' to 't_atomtype' for 6th argument EXTERN t_class *class_new(t_symbol *name, t_newmethod newmethod,I tried to add CXX = g++, then CXX = clang, then CXX = llvm in the Makefile, none of which changed anything.
(I'm using OSX 10.11.6)Before starting to play with more settings I don't fully understand everywhere, I thought I'd ask for help here.
Any suggestions ? By the way, I think a basic C++ example in the repo would be useful.Also, if some advanced user is able to give me a good reason to (cross-compatibility or whatever), I could consider switching back to C. But I don't see any reason to do so, except maybe for a small gain in size and/or performance ...
Thank you in advance for any replies, Joseph _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
