vst_event_midi_sysex_t is event type 6 not 5

Strip out old vst3sdk support as it's unsupported by Steinberg now
...
Seems like the functionality to make a VST 3.x + 2.x plug-in is now no longer in their SDK or at least I can't find it. Since that code likely relied on things that were GPLv3 or Steinberg Proprietary licensed, it's better if I remove it.

It does the exact same as all the modern C header includes!

Support for C98 and C++98
...
This omits the definition for vst_host_supports_t and vst_effect_supports_t if the compiler doesn't support it. I may replace these with #define's in the future for universal compiler support.

Empty field in vst_events_t is likely padding
...
Based on where things are in the structure this is likely to be a remnant of the past. Can't verify that though.

Fix up C99 support again

We still require a C++ compiler that treats C header files as actual C code.

Add MIDI and MIDI SysEx event structures ( #2 , #3 )

Host 0x17: Query which thread is currently active

Quite useful for threading and memory safety.

Host 0x2D/0x2E/0x2F: Controllable crash/memory corruption via p_ptr

Doesn't appear useful so far.

Host 0x1F/0x31: Query current input/output speaker arrangement
...
Seems to be completely unsupported in VST 2.4 hosts and all prior hosts seem to just return the exact data we output from VST_EFFECT_OPCODE_GET_SPEAKER_ARRANGEMENT.
2025-08-08 02:54:36 +02:00

Host 0x15/0x16: Query which vst_effect_t is attached to an input/output stream
...
Basically unsupported in almost all hosts so not very useful for optimization purposes.
2025-08-08 02:54:36 +02:00

Host 0x13/0x14: Current input/output sample latency
2025-08-08 02:54:35 +02:00
8204f06ca7
Host 0x11/0x12: Current effect sample rate and block size
...
Some hosts can randomly "forget" to send these updates to the effect and that's why we can ask the host for them. Most modern ones though do properly handle all of this.
2025-08-08 02:54:35 +02:00

Host 0x27: Query current host language
...
Seems to use a custom format instead of something like ISO 639 which predates VST 2.x by quite a long time. Reinventing the wheel goes back a long time it seems.
2025-08-08 02:54:34 +02:00

Host 0x29: Retrieves the path of the currently loaded effect
...
Unsure what this does with container plug-ins. Does it return the container file?
2025-08-08 02:54:34 +02:00

Host 0x30: Some kind of path query related programs and banks

Mostly just crashes hosts but in rare cases actually works to retrieve a path to something.

Host 0x2A: Plug-in requests a full refresh of information
...
A plug-in may call this if they believe important information has changed such as the number of parameters. This seems to work together with VST_HOST_OPCODE_IO_MODIFIED.
2025-08-08 02:54:33 +02:00
14688491dc
Host 0x2B/0x2C: Intended behavior appears to be locking/unlocking
...
These calls seem to prevent compatible hosts from emitting parameter changes entirely. This is like a file lock where it prevents other processes from modifying things they shouldn't.

Initial work towards event handling support ( #3 )
...
The VST 2.x API seems to support some sort of event handling functionality used to implement MIDI (#2 ) and External Processing (#5 ). The vst_event_t structure is currently unclear.

Add "editFile" to vst_host_supports_t

This one looked like a function lookup for a LoadLibrary call. Turns out it's an actual support query!

Host 0x1E: Request a resize of the window containing our custom editor

The host is not required to accept our request and may ignore it.
