VST Wrapper Change Request

Audio Plugins
1

Hi Jues,

I have a very simple request for the VST wrapper.  It looks like when the code asks for a string it truncates it without giving the plug-in a chance to do the truncation intelligently.  This can easily be solved by passing in the max string length to the appropriate filter get functions. 

For example,

filter->getParameterName (index).copyToUTF8 (text, 16); // length should technically be kVstMaxParamStrLen, which is 8, but hosts will normally allow a bit more.

Would become:

filter->getParameterName (index, 16).copyToUTF8 (text, 16); // length should technically be kVstMaxParamStrLen, which is 8, but hosts will normally allow a bit more.

It looks like this change is fully backward compatible with existing code, even if it doesn't do inteligent truncation.

Thanks

Good idea, thanks! I've changed that now. The length was actually a recent thing, added for AAX, and just needed back-porting for VST.
