Hi, if I register an alias for a class using class_alias(), is there any way I can later check if that alias exists and find out which class it is aliasing?

The name of the class being aliased will be in (t_class *)->c_filename. So you could do something like

t_class *c = class_findbyname(CLASS_BOX, gensym("leesalias"));
if (c) { // the alias exists
  t_symbol *aliased_class = c->c_filename;
}


Untested, but that's what it looks like to me from reading the code...

yes, that makes sense - was looking for an api call to specifically find an alias, doh...
