[LAD] VST SDK2.4 issue

[Victor Lazzarini]

Hi everyone,

perhaps one of you might have already seen this issue and will
know what is the best solution.

My problem is that one of the headers in the VST SDK2.4, aeffect.h,
has a macro, VSTCALLBACK, which in gcc will be defined
as __cdecl . This is not recognised by the compiler, thus preventing
me from using that header (to build a plugin).

My solution was to forcibly undefine __GNUC__ so that the macro
gets a blank definition.

However, I am not sure this is the best way out; I am wondering whether
the calling convention will break the plugin, since the host might be
expecting __cdecl and it will not be getting it.

Perhaps someone else would have a different solution.
