Sounds reasonable to me.
Just to clarify, does that mean LV2_DATATYPE_FLOAT
would be #define'd as: "http://lv2plug.in/ontology#float";
or something else?...
I guess consistency would suggest using the same approach for both
slv2_port_get_class() and slv2_port_get_data_type().
The problem with returning strings is namespace prefixes. It's all fine
if the type is in the lv2: namespace so it can return something nice
like lv2:float, but if it's something else it will have to return the
fully qualified URI. For consistency's sake I'll have to return the
full URI for everything.
I think what I'll do is have the type function return a full URI, but
#define symbols for the builtin port types (which is easily extensible
without breaking anything).
Something like:
char* type = lv2_port_get_type(someplug, 0);
if (!strcmp(type, LV2_DATATYPE_FLOAT))
/* ... */
free(type);
Better?
