wrapper.rs

1//! Helpers shared across format wrappers (CLAP, VST3, VST2, AU, AAX, LV2).
2//!
3//! Each wrapper still owns its format-specific descriptor types and
4//! callback tables; those don't unify cleanly. What unifies is the
5//! "boring" boundary glue: building `CStrings` from `ParamInfo`
6//! fields, picking the default bus layout, and resolving install-time
7//! name overrides.
8//!
9//! Each helper is a single small function so the wrappers stay
10//! greppable - the per-format vtable construction code reads as
11//! "for each param, get cstrings, build descriptor" without inlined
12//! `CString::new(...).unwrap_or_default()` boilerplate.
13//!
14//! Adding a new format wrapper? Reach for these first; only fall back
15//! to direct `CString::new` etc. when the format genuinely needs
16//! something none of the other formats does.

30/// The mediation lock every format wrapper puts around its plugin
31/// instance. The audio thread holds the lock for the duration of a
32/// block (`process`, `reset`, the queued state apply); host-thread
33/// state callbacks and the editor's `get_state` closure block for
34/// the read - safe in that direction, and bounded by the block the
35/// audio thread is finishing. Meters ride the lock-free `MeterStore`
36/// instead, so per-frame GUI paints never touch this lock.
37///
38/// The lock is only as strong as the scheduler behind it, so
39/// [`PluginMutex`] picks per platform:
40/// - **macOS**: `std::sync::Mutex` sits on `os_unfair_lock`, which
41///   donates the waiter's priority to the owner - a GUI thread
42///   preempted mid-`save_state` gets boosted to the waiting audio
43///   thread's priority.
44/// - **Linux**: a `PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT` pthread mutex; std's
45///   futex-based lock has no priority inheritance there.
46/// - **Windows**: `std::sync::Mutex` (SRWLOCK). User space has no
47///   priority-inheriting primitive, so the defense is the short
48///   hold - non-audio holders only span `save_state` / `editor()`.
49///
50/// (`parking_lot` inherits priority nowhere, which is why it isn't
51/// used. Uncontended cost is a CAS on every platform.)
52/// A panic while holding the guard unlocks on unwind; std's poison
53/// is forgiven (see [`lock_plugin`]).
54///
55/// A `Mutex` rather than an `RwLock`: the only non-audio accessors
56/// are a host state save and an editor preset capture - both rare -
57/// so reader parallelism buys nothing, and `Mutex<P>: Sync` needs
58/// only `P: Send` (an `RwLock` would force `Sync` onto every plugin
59/// type).
60///
61/// The `Arc` is what makes GUI closures sound: they clone the handle
62/// instead of stashing a raw pointer into the instance struct (whose
63/// `&mut` the audio thread holds during callbacks).

76/// than after any other caught panic. (The Linux pthread lock has no

93/// the plugin and calling `save_state()`. So a snapshot-capable plugin's
