-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-VARIOUS NOTES:
-
-Platform specific:
-- PD does not allow signal and message to go into the same inlet (except leftmost inlet)
-- PD: with DSP objects all float messages to the leftmost inlet are converted to signal
-
-Restrictions in compatibility mode:
-- Max allows only 9 float/int inlets
-
-Porting to new compilers/platforms:
-- enums must be int-sized!!!
-- compiler must support bool type
-- an STL implementation must exist
-- C++ exceptions and RTTI must be enabled
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-KNOWN BUGS:
-- Some few external libraries have troubles with flext's global new and delete overloadings.
- In these cases one can switch back to the C library memory operators by defining the FLEXT_NOGLOBALNEW macro before
- inclusion of the flext.h header file (e.g. as a -D compiler option)
-
-- PD: floats into the leftmost inlet of DSP objects can't be used as messages
- even if there's no signal inlet at all
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-TODO LIST:
-
-- optimizations for object initialization and messaging
-- speed up message handling (usage of other containers?)
-- SIMD for gcc
-- lock-free code for old AMD 64-bit architectures
-
-- update documentation
-- add log messages for debugging version
-- use PD's t_float and t_int types (or comparable for 32-bit safety)
-
-- add double handlers
-- add signal in/out connection query function
-
-- support for Max qelem style
-
-- flext::post and flext::error should print via a worker thread (and should be unlimited in characters)
-
-- manage running threads individually (stop, isrunning?, priority etc.)
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-TESTS TO DO:
-
-- PD: problems with timed buffer redrawing (takes a lot of cpu time)
-- hard thread termination upon object destruction doesn't seem to work properly -> crash
-- Max rounding bug ... buffer resize could be one sample less!
-
-- PD: figure out what "pointer" messages do and whether they are correctly implemented in flext
-
-- Max buffer~ resize: flext_base::buffer::Frames(): must we use buffer or system sample rate?
-
-- check whether m_dsp gets called upon deletion of a used buffer (PD and MaxMSP may behave differently).
- -> PD does call m_dsp, Max/MSP does not
