Follow-up to csound/csound#3429 (removal of the in-tree DSSI opcodes), as suggested in review: move the DSSI/LADSPA host regression test and its fixture plugin into the plugin they actually test.

Changes

  • Move the regression suite (tests/dssi_test.cpp + tests/fixtures/dssi_test_plugin.c) from the Csound core tree into 7.x/src/dssi4cs/tests/.
    • The fixture is built from the vendored DSSI/LADSPA headers, so its ABI matches the host.
    • The suite now uses the public API (csound.h) instead of the private csoundCore.h. Init errors are detected via a failing csoundStart(), performance errors via csoundErrCnt(); this replaces reading the private inerrcnt/perferrcnt fields.
  • CTest wiring: enable_testing() at the 7.x top level, a GoogleTest-gated target in dssi4cs/CMakeLists.txt (C++14, required by recent GoogleTest, since the tree defaults to C++11), and a "Run plugin tests" step in .github/workflows/plugins_build_7.yml (libgtest-dev added to the Linux packages).
  • Fix optional audio inputs for dssiaudio/dssisynth: replace the single variable-argument OENTRY ("iyyyyyyyyy") with one entry per input count ("i" .. "iaaaaaaaaa", 0..9 inputs). The parser only treats the M/N/m/W lists as omittable, so the previous y entry made every audio input mandatory even though they are documented as optional in the manual. Fixed a-rate inputs keep the a-rate-only safety (the opcode never reads past a scalar), and the matching entry is selected by argument count.

Testing

The suite (27 tests) passes locally against the 7.0.0-beta.18 framework (Linux-only opcodes exercised via the fixture host). The behavior for omitting inputs and for all failure paths is covered by the moved tests. CI runs them via ctest --test-dir build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • DSSI audio and synth opcodes now support zero through nine optional audio inputs, instead of requiring every input. This lets instruments and effects run with fewer input channels while preserving their existing outputs and processing behavior, including configurations that use no audio inputs.

Move the DSSI/LADSPA host regression test and its fixture plugin out of
the Csound core tree into the plugin that they exercise. The fixture is
built from the vendored DSSI/LADSPA headers so its ABI matches the host,
and the suite now talks to Csound through the public API (csound.h)
instead of the private csoundCore.h internals.

Register the tests with CTest: enable_testing() at the top level, a
GoogleTest-gated target in dssi4cs/CMakeLists.txt (C++14, as required by
recent GoogleTest), and a "Run plugin tests" step in the 7.x build
workflow.

While adapting the tests, replace the single variable-argument OENTRY for
dssiaudio/dssisynth ("iyyyyyyyyy") with one entry per input count
("i".."iaaaaaaaaa"). The parser only treats the M/N/m/W lists as
omittable, so the previous entry made every audio input mandatory even
though the manual documents them as optional. Fixed a-rate inputs are
still a-rate only, so the opcode can never read past a scalar, and the
matching entry is selected by argument count.

📝 Walkthrough

The DSSI opcodes now accept zero through nine audio inputs. The pull request adds DSSI and LADSPA test fixtures and integration tests, registers them with CTest, and runs CTest in the Linux plugin workflow.

Changes: DSSI integration testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Optional DSSI audio inputs
7.x/src/dssi4cs/dssi4cs.c
dssiaudio and dssisynth now register signatures for zero through nine a-rate inputs.
DSSI and LADSPA test fixtures
7.x/src/dssi4cs/tests/fixtures/dssi_test_plugin.c
The fixture provides DSSI and LADSPA descriptors with lifecycle tracking, audio processing, MIDI handling, configuration, and grouped synthesis.
Integration tests and CTest execution
7.x/src/dssi4cs/tests/dssi_test.cpp, 7.x/src/dssi4cs/CMakeLists.txt, 7.x/CMakeLists.txt, .github/workflows/plugins_build_7.yml
The integration tests cover plugin behavior and failure cases. CMake builds and registers the tests when GoogleTest is available, and the Linux workflow installs GoogleTest and runs CTest.

The change is mergeable with a bounded test-coverage gap: add a zero-input dssiaudio test to protect the newly supported call.

Add a performing zero-input dssiaudio test.

dssisynth already runs with no audio inputs in several tests. dssiaudio is only tested with gih,ain, so a regression that makes its audio input mandatory would pass this suite. Add a zero-input dssiaudio run and assert success.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Clear audio at the start of run().

run() resets pending but appends to audio. No test calls run() twice today, so the current tests pass. The first time a test calls run() twice, samples() will read stale output from the first call.

Proposed fix
     int run(const std::string &orc, const std::string &score = "i1 0 .01", int ksmps = 16, int dbfs = 1) {
         pending.clear();
+        audio.clear();

Address review feedback: exercise dssiaudio with all audio inputs omitted
(only dssisynth was covered), guarding the optional-input behaviour, and
clear the captured audio at the start of run() so a future test that calls
it twice cannot read stale samples.
