example object: list processing #40

Closed tap closed 7 years ago

tap commented 8 years ago

list processing with no limits on list length. a zl.group style object might be a good starting place (collect input until a bang is received).

Question 1: if our list exceeds 32K will the rest of Max perform robustly?

Currently zl limits to 32K but are there assumptions lurking in other parts of the message-passing pipeline?

Question 2: how are we handling thread-safety?

Imagine a bang received from a metro (scheduler thread) while the list is compiled from the main thread.

Question 2a: how do we construct a good unit-test for this scenario?

unit test writing is all that remains, which is a separate project
