To Pd list -
In case anyone else thought they could use vstplugin~ (By Hannes, available from https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin) to load Camomile (https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile) -
I don't think it works. Unless I'm misreading things, once Camomile calls pd_init(), that call doesn't go to the pd_init that's compiled into Camomile (via libpd) but instead calls pd_init from the Pd that called vstplugin~ that called Camomile. This does nothing, and the next thing libpd tries to access in the Pd instance fails.
Here, Pure Data itself (the calling program) is compiled single-thread, and libpd is compiled multi-thread; this means data structures in the two are different so they can't call back and forth; anything in libpd had better refer to its own version of things and not the calling program's.
Perhaps there's a way vstplugin~ could load the VST in such a way as to have it only make calls back into vstplugin~ but not into Pd? It's all a bit confusing to me. Anyhow, who would ever want to do this? (Except actually for complicated reasons I would :)
