+1 on interest on having this. Back when I was attempting to port VST
to D I got asked by a Steinberg dev how I can guarantee that D plugins
will work. But I couldn't guarantee it, if a GC collection were to run
the plugin would freeze, the host would crash, and the host company
would likely get the blame.
You'll get some angry comments on this one by others. I'll lean back and
enjoy the show :D
I don't follow..?
Hmm, and no one commented either. I thought someone would jump in and say
that you could disable the GC and that malloc isn't realtime either and
for that reason the host application should not crash when a plugin
doesn't deliver in time. The audio should stutter and that's it. So: no
realtime guarantees whatsoever on consumer OSs, but a high probability
that it will just work.
