I added some inputs (proxies) to my project, but I don't know how to store and retrieve them.

if I do the simple way, a new instance of my patch will interferre.

I also use some xorshift-randomgenerators and feel unsafe how to handle them.

would be ok to "draw from the same pile" so to say, but every new instance shouldn't reseed or stuff like this..

I wish I'd knew more about this stuff and feel less unsafe.

help with both topics is much appreciated,

storing-and-retrieving-parameters-for-each-instance-xorshift-with-several

I just add "x->" to my variables to let my variables be x (structure/instant) specific?

class_addattr(c,attribute_new("parameter",_sym_long, ATTR_FLAGS_NONE, (method)0L, (method)0L));

object_attr_setlong(x,gensym("parameter"),n);

n=object_attr_getlong(x,gensym("parameter"));

(how) can I avoid doing gensym("parameter")?

object_attr_setlong(x,gensym("parameter"),n);
n=object_attr_getlong(x,gensym("parameter"));

(how) can I avoid doing gensym("parameter")?


I define my symbols like this (and the code looks much better):

the reason why object_attr_set/getlong won't work as expected could be that they set/get t_atom_long not long?

ps. I'd like my patch to recall it's setting on reload, probably I'll have to implement it another way..)

I define my symbols like this (and the code looks much better):
static t_symbol *sym_parameter;

and in main()
sym_parameter=gensym("parameter");

-> my attributes should be object/instance, not class(=patch?)-spefic

object_addattr (x,attribute_new("attribute",_sym_long,ATTR_FLAGS_NONE,NULL,NULL));

because I realised the label part is important for (max for) live

(-> without it I could manipulate my attributes from max, but not from live..)

CLASS_ATTR_LABEL(c,attrname,flags,labelstr)

probably I need something else:
-> my attributes should be object/instance, not class(=patch?)-spefic

I wonder how I attach a label to them,

The value of class attributes aren't shared by all instances, just the fact that the attribute exists for the class. Use CLASS_ATTR_LONG in your main() function
