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.
The VST3 version of Voxengo TEOTE would deadlock in Ardour when Ardour
calls `IEditController::setState()`, the plugin calls
`IUnitHandler::notifyProgramListChange()` in response, and then when
Ardour calls `IUnitInfo::getProgramName()` while handling that callback.
All of these functions have to be called from the same thread in Voxengo
plugins.
Apparently the destructor for C++17/20 conditional initializers are only
run after the else branch, so this would keep the mutex locked while
executing `do_call()`.
For individually hosted plugins this will behave the same. For plugin
groups it would have been nice if we could shut down individual plugins,
but dangling threads are apparently a real issue. This should be
equivalent in all use cases.
This also reverts commit bda9a0b75f.
We would never try to shut the group host down if nothing ever tried to
connect to it. This could happen when the native host gets killed after
initializing the yabridge plugin but before it gets the chance to
request the group host process to host a plugin.
This will let us more or less gracefully handle failing host callbacks
during initialization. We cannot catch this from anywhere else since
this these functions get called from unmanaged code.
Those DAWs would immediately call `IEditController::performEdit()` with
the same parameter change the plugin has just announced, which would
result in a deadlock. Hopefully this helps with #100.
This greatly improves compatibility with VST3 plugins in Ardour and
Mixbus. Most notably the FabFilter plugins would previously freeze when
having the GUI open while duplicating or inserting new instances.
I haven't seen this cause any issues this way, and I could imagine that
this could cause some hangs when initializing a second instance of a
plugin while you're interacting with the GUI of the first instance.
This reverts commit a495f1a67f.
This ended up not being an issue. What we _do_ have to do, sadly, is to
have a mutual recursion context stack per plugin. Otherwise multiple
plugin instances can deadlock eachother.
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.
This works around a bug in the VST3 version of W. A. Production
Imperfect as mentioned in #97. Even if it's a synth and numInputs is 0,
the plugin will still try to read the input arrangement.
After a quick round of testing it seems like REAPER doesn't always
enable this on the audio thread, but Bitwig, Ardour, Carla and Renoise
do. So it should be safe to just get rid of the option and to leave this
enabled all the time.
This prevents Kush Audio REDDI from taking down the DAW when the host
passes it denormalized audio to process. I've discovered that the issue
with this plugin had to do with denormals in the issue linked below, but
I didn't realize that we can just enable the FTZ flag for plugins that
don't already do so.

I don't know how I've never noticed this, but we should of course only
be handling `audioMasterGetTime()` this way. This also explains why
enabling this permanently in the past broke some plugins.
So far only PSPaudioware InfiniStrip needed this. but it may be a good
idea to make this visible since it's probably an issue with the
plugin (even if most Windows hosts will have COM initialized).
