can someone please provide me with a simple example of

hi there,
can someone please provide me with a simple example of
how to generate a message,
that will be received by a receive object.
lets say a [r bla].
i tried with typedmess(), but failed..
thanks a lot
klaus


send-respectively-forward

void myobject_anything(t_myobject *x, t_symbol *s, long ac, t_atom *av)
{
    if(s->s_thing) typedmess(s->s_thing,gensym("list"),ac,av);
}


which sends 4.56 to a [r bla] if i pass the message bla 4.56

but i am wondering why this is quite a bit slower than a patched combination of vanilla route and send.

thats what i wanted.

any insights on this speed issue?

It's bit hard to know with limited information. One could speculate, however, that the call to gensym() here is expensive. You could cache the result of gensym("list"), or use the cached version from commonsyms.
