- connect_port() MUST be called at least once for each port before run()
- is called, unless that port is lv2:connectionOptional. The plugin must
- pay careful attention to the block size passed to run() since the block
- allocated may only just be large enough to contain the data, and is not
- guaranteed to remain constant between run() calls.
-
- connect_port() may be called more than once for a plugin instance to
- allow the host to change the buffers that the plugin is reading or
- writing. These calls may be made before or after activate() or
- deactivate() calls.
-
- @param instance Plugin instance containing the port.
-
- @param port Index of the port to connect. The host MUST NOT try to
- connect a port index that is not defined in the plugin's RDF data. If
- it does, the plugin's behaviour is undefined (a crash is likely).
-
- @param data_location Pointer to data of the type defined by the port
- type in the plugin's RDF data (e.g. an array of float for an
- lv2:AudioPort). This pointer must be stored by the plugin instance and
- used to read/write data when run() is called. Data present at the time
