I'd just like to remind LADSPA (and LV2) plugin
authors that use of
init() for module-level initialization has been deprecated for some
time. Plugins should mark the module-level init function with
__attribute__((constructor))
and the cleanup function formerly known as fini() as
__attribute__((destructor))
failure to do this pretty much guarantees plugin crashes on OS X and
other platforms that dropped init+fini support years ago.
Or make sure you don't need any module level init().
At least for LADSPA, all required structs can easily
be defined statically. It's done like that in all my
plugins, none of them have an init() or equivalent.
Regarding calling activate() before the port pointers
are valid, it indeed seems like the LADSPA spec does
allow this. The AMB set will be modified accordingly.
