I am also a fan of explicit function pointer passing (instead of weird

Lars' idea of making HostFeatures an array of strings /and/ void*
pointers for a host to pass something (such as a function) that the
plugin will need for that feature gets my vote. Simple, small change,
solves the problem(s).
I /really/ think there should be a nice clean mechanism for hosts to
pass things to the plugin... if LADSPA2 is to be extensible, it needs
this.
-DR-
Is there some equivalent mechanism that lets
dlloaded
plugins dig function pointers out of the the host? Thier
public symbol linking system is backward too from what I
remember.
one portable way is to pass a struct of function pointers
filled by the host to the plugin initialization function, as
done in the SuperCollider server plugin API.
