This is needed as a workaround to support Waves VST3 plugins.
Right now does does not actually fix the issue because the arguments are
not updated in the subclasses. The next commit will fix this.
We sadly cannot call `shared_library()` and `executable()` in these
subdirectories while still maintaining the same `build/` directory
structure, but this is still much cleaner. All of the other build
artifacts are now also gone from the root of `build/` so it's cleaner
overall.
At some point Doom Emacs broke on-save formatting with lsp-mode in
certain circumstances, and I made these changes with wgrep so apparently
they were never formatted.
These only show up during unity builds, and they originate from
Boost.Container's small vector. The compiler's diagnostic also doesn't
make any sense here so it's probably just a weird GCC thing.
In the same way as 50c25c1cf0 did it for
VST2 plugins. Input and output audio data is now stored in a shared
memory buffer instead of being sent over the sockets. This reduces the
bridging overhead to a minimum since copying data was the most expensive
operation we were doing and we now only need to copy the entire buffer
once per processing cycle.
We now use shared memory to store the input and output audio buffers.
This means that we have to copy less data every processing cycle, since
a single copy to and a single copy from the shared memory object
suffices now. This should reduce the DSP load for VST2
plugins (especially when used in a plugin group) marginally to
significantly depending on the plugins used and the system
configuration.
Bundle all serialization function with the structs whenever possible to
simplify the serialization function, and add `Foo::Response` types so we
can make the `passthrough_event()` function slightly more type safe.
Should be equivalent. The only reason why we use container2b in some
places is because strings based on `Steinberg::char16` arrays will have
an incorrect length on the Wine side, because character traits for
`wchar_t` is still reflects Linux instead of Windows there.
Apparently we also never did this for VST2 plugins, so this should be
safe. Filling the vectors with zeroes here had a non-negligible
performance impact according to perf.
Events, parameter changes, and the individual queues contained within
the parameter changes all use dynamic memory allocation. Preallocating
some memory for those things inside of the objects may prevent latency
spikes when they those objects are first filled. This is especially
useful for the parameter changes since there's no way to reserve memory
in a vector of vectors.
This prevents reinitializing `std::variant`s when the variant we want to
deserialize is already active. We store audio buffers in variants, so
reinitializing them results in a lot of unnecessary memory frees,
allocations and writes during every processing cycle.
Apparently this can actually make a difference in some cases, and the
C++ Core Guideliens recommend doing this on all default constructors,
destructors, and all functions that can not throw (and thus also don't
allocate).
This is very ugly so hopefully I can think of a neater way, but now the
response object is just a set of pointers, so we can avoid all copies
and moves on the Wine side.
We do this by using this new `MessageReference<T>` type to avoid copying
our `YaAudioProcessor::Process` struct and the contained `YaProcessData`
object. This is only part of the work, but this redesign lets us keep
the these objects alive on both the plugin and the host side. On the
plugin side, we'll simply serialize the data from the referred to object
without copying it. On the Wine side, we'll write the data to a
persistent thread local object, and then reassign the
`MessageReference<T>` to point to that object. This lets us serialize
'references', thus avoiding potentially expensive allocations. With
these last few changes alone VST3 plugins are already at the same
performance level as our optimized VST2 plugin groups.
This is kind of equivalent to `std::reference_wrapper`, but with default
initialization support (which is UB, but is required for serialization)
and a forward for `T::Response` as used by your sockets API.
Bitwig prepends some data when passing an `IBStream*` to the plugin, and
when we do copy it iZotope Rx7 plugins cannot load their state (even if
we also copy over the same seek position). Not copying that preamble
fixes the issue, and it seems like it doesn't break anything.
Since that makes it much clearer what we're actually doing. With old
`cache_time_info` was actually caching the response, but now we're
querying it before the plugin has even requested the information.
