truce_core/chunked_process.rs
1//! Sample-accurate parameter-dependent chunking.
2//!
3//! Splits a host audio block into sub-blocks at the
4//! `sample_offset` of every `ParamChange` (for chunkable parameters)
5//! and every `Transport` event, calling `plugin.process()` once per
6//! sub-block. `set_plain` for parameter events is deferred to the
7//! sub-block boundary where the event actually sits, so smoothers
8//! see `set_target` at the right sample instead of at sample 0 of
9//! the whole audio block.
10//!
11//! Every format wrapper routes its `process()` call through
12//! [`process_chunked`]. On formats whose host events all carry
13//! `sample_offset = 0` (VST2, AAX, LV2 in v1, AU until ramp decoding
14//! lands) the loop runs once per block and the splitting machinery
15//! is inert.
16//!
17//! Design rationale and per-format coverage notes live in
18//! `truce-docs/docs/internal/parameter-dependent-chunking.md`.
