Detailed Description

Basic interface to a plugin component. [plug imp]

• initialize/terminate the plugin component

virtual tresult PLUGIN_API Steinberg::IPluginBase::initialize

FUnknown *

context

)

[pure virtual]

The host passes a number of interfaces as context to initialize the plugin class.

Note:

Extensive memory allocations etc. should be performed in this method rather than in the class constructor! If the method does NOT return kResultOk, the object is released immediately. In this case terminate is not called!

Implemented in Steinberg::Vst::Component, Steinberg::Vst::ComponentBase, and Steinberg::Vst::EditController.

virtual tresult PLUGIN_API Steinberg::IPluginBase::terminate

(
