      get the "-unique" flag and [pd~] object working in Purr Data · a147dfbb
      Jonathan Wilkes authored
      This patch makes it possible to have multiple running instances of Purr Data,
      and to leverage that interface from Pd-l2ork to get [pd~] working on all
      platforms
      
      Some difficulties required revisions to [pd~] in Pd Vanilla's code
      * use quoted path args for Windows when starting the [pd~] subprocess
      * replace sys_havegui() from Pd Vanilla's recent "threadening" with sys_nogui
      
      The "-unique" flag requires the OSX app bundle to be able to start by calling
      the binary in Pd-l2ork.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/bin/pd-l2ork. This should
      also make it possible to run Purr Data on OSX both by using an app bundle
      (where the GUI starts the Pd process) and by installing and running from the
      command line (where the Pd process starts the GUI)
      
      The "--user-data-dir" flag sets the directory for various nw.js state used
      by a running instance. To prevent races nw.js requires that each running
      instance have its own directory that is not shared with any other instances.
      
      Setting the value for this flag has two important potential side-effects:
      
      1. If you have a running instance and try to start an additional instance
         that has the same data directory, nw.js will just send an "open" event
         the first running instance and exit the 2nd instance gracefully. This is
         the default nw.js behavior and the default Pd-l2ork behavior as well.
      2. If you have a running instance and try to start an additional instance
         with a different data directory than the first, you'll get a fully
         functional 2nd instance of nw.js running. This is the behavior we desire
         when the user runs pd-l2ork with the "-unique" flag.
      
      In each case we set the data dir explicitly in order to get consistent
      positional command line arguments in the GUI.
      
      In normal mode Purr Data will use the default data dir as specified in the
      nw.js docs for the particular platorm. Since the same default dir is used
      each time Purr Data is run, there will be only one data dir that gets created.
      
      When run with the "-unique" flag, Purr Data will append "-$portno" to the
      default data directory, where $portno is the port Pd chose to communicate
      with the GUI. That ensures that each separate instance of Purr Data can
      get a unique data dir.
      
      A side effect is that users may end up generating multiple data dirs that
      don't get deleted on exit. But Pd starts searching for available ports in the
      same range each time, and unless the user tries to run hundreds of instances
      at once this directory spam shouldn't be too big of a problem.

      get rid of undefined behavior in union member mismatch for $@ · 9d30a7cd
      Jonathan Wilkes authored
      The code for $@ depends on reading a_w.w_symbol values, but the other
      A_DOLLAR branch (i.e., for $1 - $n) depend on reading a_w.w_index.
      
      So for the conditional at the top of binbuf_eval, this means that any
      normal A_DOLLAR that has its a_w.w_index set is actually trying to read
      a_w.w_symbol. On a 64-bit arch with certain compilers, this will result
      in a read of uninitalized data in the padding of the part of w_symbol
      that exceeds the sizeof(int).
      
      The workaround here is to define a sentinel value DOLLARALL to a negative
      int unlikely to ever be used in real A_DOLLAR values. We then use DOLLARALL
      to mean the "@" in "$@" so we can create a special branch for it in the
      parser.
      
      One consequence-- we probably need to add a special case error when
      this value is out of range. So rather than confusing the user with the
      mysterious negative value of DOLLARALL we print "$@" for them. (Currently,
      the only place I can see this happening is when "$@" is used as the
      target for a Pd message.)
