VLevel is written in C++. I have two questions.
First, why do most
other plugins allocate and free copies of their strings and structures,
instead of just passing the literal (as I do)? The declarations in
ladspa.h don't allow the host to modify what the pointers reference.
Good question. There is AFAIK no good reason for doing this. I've even
seen plugins where things such as int foo [4], part of a larger struct,
are dynamically allocated....
Second, I keep a buffer of length n in my code, so the
first n seconds
of data I return is useless, and after the audio is sent, I need n more
seconds of input before all the audio is returned. Is there any way of
informing the host about this?
Not that I know of.
