hi Yves and others,<br>
<br>
I see two problems with pd-gui's handling of tcl stuff sent by the<br>
pd layer.<br>
<br>
1. The 20k limit can be hit very easily with array redraws, or<br>
with toxy -- the more so, the bigger is the effect of glueing<br>
several commands, and sending them at once.<br>
<br>
2. The handler at the pd-gui side, pd_readsocket(), is not<br>
reentrant -- some commands (like tk_getOpenFile) enter event loop,<br>
which might invoke the handler reentrantly, thus overwriting any<br>
additional commands that are glued to the end of the blocking<br>
command. However, I guess, making pd_readsocket() reentrant would<br>
have to involve some sort of stamping sys_gui data (with serial<br>
numbers?).<br>
<br>
Basically, the weakness is of the pd-gui, not of the threading<br>
patch (which sometimes makes that weakness more evident, perhaps).<br>
