Enum ProcessMode 

pub enum ProcessMode {
    Realtime,
    Buffered,
    Offline,
}

How the host is driving audio through the plugin this activation.

Delivered two ways that answer two different questions. AudioConfig::process_mode at reset answers “how big should my buffers be for this render?” - the allocation-relevant question, since buffer sizing has to happen off the audio thread. The per-block ProcessContext::process_mode answers “may I skip the realtime discipline right now?” - it tracks host toggles that don’t warrant a re-prepare (VST3 kRealtime <-> kPrefetch, an LV2 freewheel port).

Variants

Realtime

Fixed-rate realtime playback. Honor the no-alloc / no-lock rule.

Buffered

Real-time-like but processed ahead at irregular intervals to loosen realtime pressure. Only VST3 (kPrefetch) produces this. Treat it like Realtime unless there is a specific reason to relax discipline.

Offline

Freewheeling offline render. No wall-clock deadline: a plugin may allocate, raise oversampling, lengthen lookahead, and trade CPU for quality.

Implementations

impl ProcessMode

pub fn is_offline(self) -> bool

Whether the host is freewheeling with no realtime deadline. True only for Offline - the one mode where relaxing the no-alloc / no-lock rule and raising quality is safe.

pub fn as_u8(self) -> u8

Discriminant for atomic storage. Wrappers whose offline signal arrives on one thread (CLAP render::set, an AU property) and is read on the audio thread stash the mode in an AtomicU8.

pub fn from_u8(v: u8) -> Self

Inverse of Self::as_u8. Any unknown value maps to Realtime, the safe default.
