Why keep it around?
Guitarix is a host aimed to live performance. For performance reasons we wont load a plugin on preset switch. So, all plugs which may be used during a session been loaded already and been keep in memory. Other plugs, which are not announced cant be used without explicitly load them into the rack. Still, we don't use RTLD_NODELETE (and can't see a benefit on using it)
In the distant past, Ardour (really libsuil) used NODELETE for LV2 GUIs. https://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui#makeSONameResident but that is no longer the case since the option was deprecated.
Wasn't that more related to the underlying libs used by plugin GUI's from the time were using shared toolkit lib's was supported (and pronounced) by the LV2 specs? So that the host don't unload for example the gtk lib's when a plugin which use it was unloaded, but a other one, which may use it as well, still is loaded? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
