Aloe Audio Unit Component Crate

Welcome to the aloe-au-component Rust crate. This crate is designed for advanced audio component management primarily targeting macOS platforms.

Overview

This crate facilitates interaction with Audio Unit (AU) components and serves as a bridge for component management in audio applications. It encapsulates core interactions between component management utilities, allowing fast and efficient dispatch of audio unit operations.

Key features include:

• Component Management: Enables efficient handling and dispatching of component instances.
• Lifecycle Methods: Provides traits for pre and post constructor/destructor operations to manage object lifecycle effectively.
• Platform-Specific Implementations: Contains optimized code paths for macOS with conditional compilation directives to ensure cross-platform compatibility where necessary.

Key Structures and Traits

ComponentBase

• Purpose: Represents the fundamental building block of the audio component.
• Methods: Includes methods for instance management, type determination, and lifecycle control.

Component Lifecycle Traits

• AUPreConstructor and AUPostConstructor: Managed initialization steps before and after creating component instances.
• AUPreDestructor and AUPostDestructor: Provide safe and orderly destruction of audio components.

Component Management Utilities

• ComponentInitLocker: Protects instance construction using mutexes to ensure thread safety on macOS.

Usage

To integrate aloe-au-component into your Rust project, include it in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aloe-au-component = "0.1.0"

Ensure you have set up macOS development environment if using platform-specific features.
