#88 namespace prefixes broken

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It is no longer possible to use [prefix/classname]
syntax, which is essential to the namespaces because it
is the only way that two classes with the same root
classname could be used in the same patch, i.e. like
this, where each object is a different class:

[prepend]
[cxc/prepend]
[cyclone/prepend]

This is because with the new sys_onloadlist()
functionality that checks to see whether a class has
already been loaded. It only uses the direct
classname, not the prefix also.

if you re-open this bug-report, could you please comment on why you do so?

i attach an example that illustrates that namespaces work in pd-0,41;
i do not claim that they work in pd-0.40, since they don't;

afair, it has always been millers policy to fix bugs in new releases rather than maintain old branches.

This will need to be fixed for the Pd-0.40.3-extended release.

i totally agree that it must be fixed for pd-extended (thanks for changing the category)

however: i just downloaded Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071016-debian-testing-i386.deb from the 2007-10-16 autobuilds, extracted it and ran my testpatch with your Pd version: it worked just fine

can you confirm on which versions this bug appears?

Tested with Pd-0.40.3-extended-20071105 on Mac OS X and namespace prefixes work as they used to (tho not quite as they should), so I am closing this bug.
