The goal is for an instance's state to be +<em>completely</em> described by port values (as with all LV2 plugins) and a +dictionary.</p> + +<p>The <q>state</q> described by this extension is conceptually a simple +key:value dictionary, where keys are URIDs (URIs mapped to integers) and values +are type-tagged blobs of any type. A single key:value pair is called a +<q>property</q>. To implement state, the plugin provides a state:Interface to +the host. To save or restore, the host calls LV2_State_Interface::save() or +LV2_State_Interface::restore(), passing a callback to be used for handling a +single property. The host is free to implement property storage and retrieval +in any way.</p> + +<p>This state model is simple yet has many benefits:</p> +<ul> + <li>URID keys provide both fast performance and RDF compatibility.</li> + <li>Fully extensible, no limitations on keys or value types.</li> + <li>Easy to serialise in many formats (e.g. any RDF syntax, plain + text, JSON, XML, key:value databases, SQL, s-expressions, etc.).</li> + <li>Elegantly described in Turtle, which is useful for describing presets + or default state in LV2 data files (the predicate state:state is provided + for this purpose).</li> + <li>Does not impose any file formats, data structures, or file system + requirements.</li> + <li>Suitable for portable persistent state as well as fast in-memory + snapshots.</li> + <li>Easily stored in a typical <q>map</q> or <q>dictionary</q> data + structure.</li> + <li>Keys may be defined by extensions and used by several plugins, + making state meaningful enabling dynamic state control.</li> +</ul> + +<p>Implementations or further extensions which work with plugin state +(including dynamic plugin control) SHOULD work entirely within this model. +That is, <strong>do not complicate the state model</strong>. <em>All</em> +information required to express an instance's state at any given time can, and +should, be expressed within this model.</p> + +<h3>Plugin Code Example</h3> + +<pre class="c-code"> +#define NS_EG "http://example.org/" +#define NS_ATOM "http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom#" + +LV2_Handle my_instantiate(...) +{ + MyPlugin* plugin = ...; + plugin->uris.atom_String = map_uri(NS_ATOM "String"); + plugin->uris.eg_greeting = map_uri(NS_EG "greeting"); + plugin->state.greeting = strdup("Hello"); + return plugin; +} + +void my_save(LV2_Handle instance, + LV2_State_Store_Function store, + void* handle, + uint32_t flags, + const LV2_Feature *const * features) +{ + MyPlugin* plugin = (MyPlugin*)instance; + const char* greeting = plugin->state.greeting; + + store(handle, + plugin->uris.eg_greeting, + greeting, + strlen(greeting) + 1, + plugin->uris.atom_String, + LV2_STATE_IS_POD | LV2_STATE_IS_PORTABLE); +} + +void my_restore(LV2_Handle instance, + LV2_State_Retrieve_Function retrieve, + void* handle, + uint32_t flags, + const LV2_Feature *const * features) +{ + MyPlugin* plugin = (MyPlugin*)instance; + + size_t size; + uint32_t type; + uint32_t flags; + const char* greeting = retrieve( + handle, plugin->uris.eg_greeting, &size, &type, &flags); + + if (greeting) { + free(plugin->state->greeting); + plugin->state->greeting = strdup(greeting); + } else { + plugin->state->greeting = strdup("Hello"); + } +} + +const void* my_extension_data(const char* uri) +{ + static const LV2_State_Interface state_iface = { my_save, my_restore }; + if (!strcmp(uri, LV2_STATE_INTERFACE_URI)) { + return &state_iface; + } +} +</pre> + +<h3>Host Code Example</h3> + +<pre class="c-code"> +int store_callback(void* handle, + uint32_t key, + const void* value, + size_t size, + uint32_t type, + uint32_t flags) +{ + if ((flags & LV2_STATE_IS_POD)) { + /* We only care about POD since we're keeping state in memory only. + If this was for disk or network storage/transmission, + LV2_STATE_IS_PORTABLE would have to be checked as well. + */ + Map* state_map = (Map*)handle; + state_map->insert(key, Value(copy(value), size, type, pod)); + return 0; + } else { + return 1; /* Non-POD events are unsupported. */ + } +} + +Map get_plugin_state(LV2_Handle instance) +{ + LV2_State* state = instance.extension_data("http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/state"); + Map state_map; + /** Request a fast/native/POD save, since we're just copying in memory */ + state.save(instance, store_callback, &state_map, + LV2_STATE_IS_POD|LV2_STATE_IS_NATIVE); + return state_map; +} +</pre> + +<h3>Referring to Existing Files</h3> + +<p>Plugins may need to refer to files (e.g. loaded samples) in their state. +This is done by storing the file's path as a property just like any other +value.
