Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader is a convenience class for discovering and loading Vamp plugins using the typical plugin-path, library naming, and categorisation conventions described in the Vamp SDK documentation.
This class is intended to greatly simplify the task of becoming a Vamp plugin host for any C++ application.
Hosts are not required by the Vamp specification to use the same plugin search path and naming conventions as implemented by this class, and are certainly not required to use this actual class. But we do strongly recommend it.

| typedef std::string Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader::PluginKey |
PluginKey is a string type that is used to identify a plugin uniquely within the scope of "the current system".
It consists of the lower-cased base name of the plugin library, a colon separator, and the identifier string for the plugin. It is only meaningful in the context of a given plugin path (the one returned by PluginHostAdapter::getPluginPath()).
Use composePluginKey() to construct a plugin key from a known plugin library name and identifier.
Note: the fact that the library component of the key is lower-cased implies that library names are matched case-insensitively by the PluginLoader class, regardless of the case sensitivity of the underlying filesystem. (Plugin identifiers _are_ case sensitive, however.) Also, it is not possible to portably extract a working library name from a plugin key, as the result may fail on case-sensitive filesystems. Use getLibraryPathForPlugin() instead.

| typedef std::vector<PluginKey> Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader::PluginKeyList |
PluginKeyList is a sequence of plugin keys, such as returned by listPlugins().
Definition at line 107 of file PluginLoader.h.
| typedef std::vector<std::string> Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader::PluginCategoryHierarchy |
PluginCategoryHierarchy is a sequence of general->specific category names, as may be associated with a single plugin.
This sequence describes the location of a plugin within a category forest, containing the human-readable names of the plugin's category tree root, followed by each of the nodes down to the leaf containing the plugin.
Definition at line 119 of file PluginLoader.h.
AdapterFlags contains a set of values that may be OR'd together to indicate in which circumstances PluginLoader should use a plugin adapter to make a plugin easier to use for a host that does not want to cater for complex features.
The available flags are:
ADAPT_INPUT_DOMAIN - If the plugin expects frequency domain input, wrap it in a PluginInputDomainAdapter that automatically converts the plugin to one that expects time-domain input. This enables a host to accommodate time- and frequency-domain plugins without needing to do any conversion itself.
ADAPT_CHANNEL_COUNT - Wrap the plugin in a PluginChannelAdapter to handle any mismatch between the number of channels of audio the plugin can handle and the number available in the host. This enables a host to use plugins that may require the input to be mixed down to mono, etc., without having to worry about doing that itself.
ADAPT_BUFFER_SIZE - Wrap the plugin in a PluginBufferingAdapter permitting the host to provide audio input using any block size, with no overlap, regardless of the plugin's preferred block size (suitable for hosts that read from non-seekable streaming media, for example). This adapter introduces some run-time overhead and also changes the semantics of the plugin slightly (see the PluginBufferingAdapter header documentation for details).
ADAPT_ALL_SAFE - Perform all available adaptations that are meaningful for the plugin and "safe". Currently this means to ADAPT_INPUT_DOMAIN if the plugin wants FrequencyDomain input; ADAPT_CHANNEL_COUNT always; and ADAPT_BUFFER_SIZE never.
ADAPT_ALL - Perform all available adaptations that are meaningful for the plugin.
See PluginInputDomainAdapter, PluginChannelAdapter and PluginBufferingAdapter for more details of the classes that the loader may use if these flags are set.

Obtain a pointer to the singleton instance of PluginLoader.
Use this to obtain your loader object.
| PluginKeyList Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader::listPlugins | ( | ) |
Search for all available Vamp plugins, and return a list of them in the order in which they were found.

| Plugin* Vamp::HostExt::PluginLoader::loadPlugin | ( | PluginKey | key, |
| float | inputSampleRate, | ||
| int | adapterFlags = 0 |
||
| ) |
Load a Vamp plugin, given its identifying key.
If the plugin could not be loaded, returns 0.
The returned plugin should be deleted (using the standard C++ delete keyword) after use.
| adapterFlags | a bitwise OR of the values in the AdapterFlags enumeration, indicating under which circumstances an adapter should be used to wrap the original plugin. If adapterFlags is 0, no optional adapters will be used. Otherwise, the returned plugin may be of an adapter class type which will behave identically to the original plugin, apart from any particular features implemented by the adapter itself. |
