Should someone who 'occasionaly does C' write a
plugin host ? It's not going to end well, and
that won't be because of what I propose.
And in the plugin itself it's trivially easy.
An example:
static const char * const strings [] =
{
// Port names
"In-L",
"In-R",
"Out-L",
"Out-R",
// Labels for the mono / stereo switch
"Mono",
"Stereo",
// Labels for the reverb type selection
"Concert hall",
"Small church",
"Vocal plate",
"Bathroom"
};
etc.
Of course, if someone would generate this array dynamically
(some people do this, just copying string constants from A
to B which is quite silly) that means they are complicating
things for themselves.
I don't want to repeat nothing, I really don't
care, and any solution
(even none) is fine with me. I was just making a suggestion and you,
as usual, are bashing people claiming they don't use their brain when
you disagree...
Not because I disagree, and nothing personal.
But if you read the code I posted, and the comments
provided with it, and think about this for a second,
you can't honestly say it's complicated. Anyone who
can write C can grok this code and the intention
behind it in no time.
you're becoming too Italian man (and here's an
Italian
writing this mail).
:-) Is it as hot where you are ?
