Re: [PD-announce] RabbitControl external 2.0

Hey,

glad to see someone using pd_queue_mess :) When looking at the code, I 
just noticed that you don't seem to call pd_queue_cancel() in the object 
destructor, which means that in-flight messages won't be cancelled when 
the user destroys the object or closes the patch.

I've also noticed that you are calling pd_queue_mess() and clock methods 
like clock_delay() and clock_unset() in the same function, which 
certainly looks like a mistake. The latter must only be called on Pd's 
main thread whereas pd_queue_mess() is supposed to be called from some 
other thread to send a message back to the main thread.

In general, be careful what you are doing on the helper threads. One of 
the nice things about pd_queue_mess() is that you can avoid data races 
resp. any need for thread synchronization simply by delegating all the 
work to the message callback.
