I've been fiddling around with creating my own max/msp objects in C++. I'm trying to figure out how i can manipulate lists by using the vector class. What my code is suppose to do is to take a vector as an input, change every other value in the vector to zero and then output the vector again. My object keeps crashing and I can't figure out why. Is there anybody out there with some experience in this? Any help would be great thanks!

// these are prototypes for the methods that are defined below

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x, vector vector_in);

void list_remove_assist(list_remove *x, void *b, long m, long a, char *s);

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

c = class_new("list_remove", (method) list_remove_new, (method)NULL, sizeof(list_remove), 0L, A_DEFLONG, 0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_bang,     "bang",     0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_cal,     "list",     A_GIMME, 0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_assist,     "assist",     A_CANT, 0);

x = (list_remove *)object_alloc(list_remove_class);

void list_remove_assist(list_remove *x, void *b, long m, long a, char *s) {

outlet_list(x->list_outlet,NULL,x->my_vector.size(),argv);

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x, vector vector_in) {

for(unsigned int z=1; zmy_vector.size(); z+=2){

Here's a little update :) I found out that you can't use vectors as inputs for the methods, but instead need to use the atom class, so my functions now looks like this:

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x, t_symbol *msg, long argc, t_atom *argv) {

        double value = atom_getfloat(argv+1);

        x->my_vector[i].push_back(value);

        x->my_vector[z].push_back(value2);

    outlet_list(x->list_outlet,NULL,argc,argv);

But it's still the same problem. Max crashes as soon as i connect the object to a list

void list_remove_bang(list_remove *x) {
}

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x,  t_symbol *msg, long argc, t_atom *argv)  {
	for(int i=0; i
		double value = atom_getfloat(argv+1);
		x->my_vector[i].push_back(value);
	}
	double value2 = 0;
	for(int z=1; z
		x->my_vector[z].push_back(value2);
	}
	outlet_list(x->list_outlet,NULL,argc,argv);
}

But it's still the same problem. Max crashes as soon as i connect the object to a list


After searching through the documentation I found the solution. Apparently the Atom class is the only solution to use here, cuz that is what the inlets and the outlet functions takes as inputs. I stopped using the vector class and implemented with only the Atom class, and it worked. It may only be me that is stupid enough to have spend so much time fiddleling with this :) but anyway, here is the working code...

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x, t_symbol *msg, long argc, Atom *argv) ;

    c = class_new("list_remove", (method) list_remove_new, (method)NULL, sizeof(list_remove), 0L, A_DEFLONG, 0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_bang,        "bang",                0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_cal,            "list",        A_GIMME, 0);

class_addmethod(c, (method)list_remove_assist,        "assist",        A_CANT, 0);

    post("list_remove object loaded...",0);

    x = (list_remove *)object_alloc(list_remove_class);

    post("list_remove object added",0);

                sprintf(s,"Inlet %ld: Bang", a);

                sprintf(s,"Inlet %ld: list In", a);

void list_remove_cal(list_remove *x, Symbol *msg, long argc, Atom *argv) {

        switch(argv[i].a_type)     {

                case A_LONG: SETLONG(x->my_vector+i, argv[i].a_w.w_long);

                    break;

                case A_FLOAT: SETFLOAT(x->my_vector+i, argv[i].a_w.w_float);

                case A_SYM: SETSYM(x->my_vector+i, argv[i].a_w.w_sym);

        SETFLOAT(x->my_vector+z, value2);

    outlet_list(x->list_outlet,0L,x->my_vector_size,x->my_vector);

FWIW, I believe the problem with your code was this:

typedef struct _list_remove {
    t_object p_ob;
    vector  my_vector;
    void *list_outlet;
} list_remove;


You can declare a std::vector like this in your struct, because the vector's constructor is never called. Instead you should declare it as a pointer to a vector, and then use the new/delete operators to alloc and free it in your new and free methods.

SDK vector problem. Keeps crashing
