Anyway, this means the only way for me to deal with this is to close the directory EVERY time right after I open it. But it's not ideal for the design of this object, where I wanted it to leave the directory open so we could keep querying for files without the need to reopen it every time. I guess I can just deal with this by opening/closing all the time, but it kinda sucks... Unless the wizards out there have a magical way out for me :)
I could also try and see how other Pd objects deal with this... I'm using [dir] to remove my dependency of [playlist], haven't tested how it'd behave in this situation, probably fine. I have tested [hcs/folder_list] though, it does this sort of thing and doesn't seem to crash! Well, let me go ahead and sort this out, thanks a lot for your help! cheers Em sex, 8 de fev de 2019 às 15:59, Alexandre Torres Porres <[email protected]> escreveu: > Em sex, 8 de fev de 2019 às 13:55, Alexandre Torres Porres < > [email protected]> escreveu: > >> >>> >>> https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/9b259f24569a13069c5842ec0f598e8fe96c8cbc/Classes/Source/dir.c#L75 >>> >>> the leak seems to be on this line. you should keep the return value of >>> opendir and be sure to close it when no longer necessary. >>> >> > Well, I'll take there must be a leak or something there, but I'm calling > this method (dir_open) in the patch.
