the object routines for registration and notification:

The object_register function is declared as:

void *object_register(t_symbol *name_space, t_symbol *s, void *x);

If using this to register an external with a symbol, will it then be
possible to connect to this using e.g. the “send” object, or will it
only work with externals that connect to the namespace?

The next question is concerning object_attach. Is it possible to use
this to connect several clients to the same registered object?

Apart from that I just want to add that the pattr sdk is excellently
written and very illuminating!

Thanks a lot,
Trond

At this time, registered objects and send/receive are completely
distinct, unrelated mechanisms.

Yes. You can connect as many clients to a registered object as you want.
