Re: [PD-dev] float a vs symbol 1
I think warnings would be good at the very least. Wanna submit a patch with some warnings? .hc On Jan 10, 2007, at 10:44 AM, Claude Heiland-Allen wrote: float a | [print] error: Bad arguments for message 'float' to object 'messresponder' but symbol 1 | [print] print: symbol (in fact an empty symbol: selectorsymbol messagesymbol, checked with Print.hs from hsext [1]) I think *both* cases should error, with a more informative error message (such as listing the offending arguments). Also, maybe (optional) warnings for cases such as: float 1 2 3 (equivalent to float 1) float 1 a b (equivalent to float 1) symbol a b c (equivalent to symbol a) symbol a 1 2 (equivalent to symbol a) Any thoughts?

Re: [PD-dev] float a vs symbol 1
At the very least, there should be informative warnings. I've been documenting things like this here: http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/doc/additional/ messageoddness/ .hc On Jan 10, 2007, at 10:44 AM, Claude Heiland-Allen wrote: float a | [print] error: Bad arguments for message 'float' to object 'messresponder' but symbol 1 | [print] print: symbol (in fact an empty symbol: selectorsymbol messagesymbol, checked with Print.hs from hsext [1]) I think *both* cases should error, with a more informative error message (such as listing the offending arguments).
