Why are you going to the trouble to copy av into x->templist if 

There is nothing wrong with the code you have pasted here, but you 

haven't given enough information (as usual!) for us to understand the 

context, so, well, who knows? In general, 5 lines of code will never 

be enough for anyone to analyze your problem, unless your problem is 

extremely fundamental. Please try to get in the habit of including 

full (relevant) source for the problems you are experiencing.

Why are you going to the trouble to copy av into x->templist if  
you're just passing av into remote()?

Sorry Jeremy. I always thought writing too much will bother and i wasn't 

aware i was breaking your b**** by posting too few lines of code. I'll 

t_symbol *target; // dynamic name of the 

t_symbol *prefix; // symbol defined as a prefix

void fwd_anything(t_fwd *x, t_symbol *s, short ac, t_atom *av) 

SETSYM(x->templist+0, s); // ! this is the problem... !

//remote(x, x->target, ac+1, x->templist);

outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, 0L, ac+1, x->templist);

//post("av+0 = %s", x->templist->a_w.w_sym->s_name);

Forget about the remote function, it is not the problem. Same crashes

Sorry Jeremy. I always thought writing too much will bother and i wasn't 
aware i was breaking your b**** by posting too few lines of code. I'll 
keep it in mind from now on.

typedef struct _fwd
{
    t_object        m_ob;           
    t_symbol    *target;                     // dynamic name of the 
target(s)
    t_symbol    *prefix;                     // symbol defined as a prefix
    t_symbol    *argument;
    int                mode;                        // 0 = normal, 1 = 
prefix, 2=defined receiver
    t_atom         templist[MAXSIZE];
    void            *t_anyout;
} t_fwd;

void fwd_anything(t_fwd *x, t_symbol *s, short ac, t_atom *av)   
{    
    switch(x->mode)
    {
        case 0: blabla
        case 1: blabla
        case 2:
        {
            SETSYM(x->templist+0, s); // ! this is the problem... !
            short i;
            for (i=0; itemplist[i+1] = *av;
            //remote(x, x->target, ac+1, x->templist);
            // for debug only
            outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, 0L, ac+1, x->templist);
            //post("ac = %d", ac+1);
            //post("av+0 = %s", x->templist->a_w.w_sym->s_name);
            // end of debug only
            break;
        }
    }
}

Forget about the remote function, it is not the problem. Same crashes 
with outlet_anything.

I wish the t_symbol *s of my anything function to be the first element 
of av...

not that i'm really remembering all the details, but are you sure you 

can just pass 0L instead of gensym("list")?

Moreover there ought to be a outlet_list function for that.

Funny that programming using flext made me forget all the native stuff.

What happens if you change this to atom_setsym(x->templist, s)? I 

find it very hard to believe that this is really your problem, 

though. What kind of input are you sending to the function?

OK, there _was_ a problem with this version -- note that you've 

increasingly incremented av? So, when you called remote(), you were 

passing in (original av + ac) instead of (original av) -- an invalid 

pointer. When it gets dereferenced - boom.

Thomas' comment re: outlet_list is also correct, and may be why you 

outlet_list(x->t_anyout, 0L, ac+1, x->templist);

outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, x->templist[0].a_w.w_sym, ac, &x-

Try either
outlet_list(x->t_anyout, 0L, ac+1, x->templist);

outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, x->templist[0].a_w.w_sym, ac, &x- 
 >templist[1]);

Yes, i've already noticed and and changed outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, 

But changing SETSYM(x->templist+0, s); to atom_setsym(x->templist, s) 

I just send simple list of symbols, like 'hello how are you'. When i 

send a list, my function works well because it doesn't care about the 

first hidden symbol which is "list", if i'm not wrong. So, passing '167 

how are you' is ok. But 'hello how are you' to my anything function 

doesn't. I just want the 'hello' to be included in the av...

I'm sure you all made this a dozen time before : just adding the first 

symbol of an anyhting function to the av list... ?!

Yes, i've already noticed and and changed outlet_anything(x->t_anyout, 
0L, ac+1, x->templist); (stupid mistake)

But changing SETSYM(x->templist+0, s); to atom_setsym(x->templist, s) 
doesn't change... Still crashes.
