/** A host-provided function to store a value under a given key.

* @param key The URI key (predicate) under which the value is to be stored.
* @param value Pointer to the value (object) to be stored.
* @param size The size of the data at @a value in bytes.
* @param type The type of @a value, as a URI mapped to an integer.

* The host passes a callback of this type to LV2_Persist.save(). This
* callback is called repeatedly by the plugin within LV2_Persist.save() to
* store all the key/value records that describe its current state.
*
* Unless @a type is 0, @a value is guaranteed to be POD (i.e. a region
* of memory that does not contain pointers and can safely be copied
* and persisted indefinitely with a simple memcpy). If @a type is 0,
* then @a value is a reference, as defined by the LV2 Atom extension
* <http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom/>. Hosts are not required to support
* references: a plugin MUST NOT expect a host to persist references unless
* the host supports the feature <http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom#blobSupport>.
* Plugins SHOULD express their state entirely with POD values.
*
* Note that @a size MUST be > 0, and @a value MUST point to a valid region of
* memory @a size bytes long (this is required to make restore unambiguous).

* The plugin MUST NOT attempt to use this function outside of the
* LV2_Persist.restore() context.

/** When the plugin's extension_data is called with argument LV2_PERSIST_URI,

*
* The host can use the contained function pointers to save and restore the
* state of a plugin instance at any time (provided the threading restrictions
* for the given function are met).
*
* The typical use case is to save the plugin's state when a project is
* saved, and to restore the state when a project has been loaded. Other
* uses are possible (e.g. cloning plugin instances or taking a snapshot
* of plugin state).
*
* Stored data is only guaranteed to be compatible between instances of plugins
* with the same URI (i.e. if a change to a plugin would cause a fatal error
* when restoring state saved by a previous version of that plugin, the plugin
* URI must change just as it must when a plugin's ports change). Plugin
* authors should consider this possibility, and always store sensible data
* with meaningful types to avoid such compatibility issues in the future.

typedef struct _LV2_Persist {
/** Save plugin state using a host-provided @a store callback.
*
* @param instance The instance handle of the plugin.
* @param store The host-provided store callback.
* @param callback_data An opaque pointer to host data, e.g. the map or
* file where the values are to be stored. If @a store is called,
* this MUST be passed as its callback_data parameter.
*
* The plugin is expected to store everything necessary to completely
* restore its state later (possibly much later, in a different
* process, on a completely different machine, etc.)
*
* The @a callback_data pointer and @a store function MUST NOT be
* used beyond the scope of save().
*
* This function has its own special threading class: it may not be
* called concurrently with any "Instantiation" function, but it
* may be called concurrently with functions in any other class,
* unless the definition of that class prohibits it (e.g. it may
* not be called concurrently with a "Discovery" function, but it
* may be called concurrently with an "Audio" function. The plugin
* is responsible for any locking or lock-free techniques necessary
* to make this possible.
*
* Note that in the simple case where state is only modified by
* restore(), there are no synchronization issues since save() is
* never called concurrently with restore() (though run() may read
* it during a save).
*
* Plugins that dynamically modify state while running, however,
* must take care to do so in such a way that a concurrent call to
* save() will save a consistent representation of plugin state for a
* single instant in time. The simplest way to do this is to modify a
* copy of the state map and atomically swap a pointer to the entire
* map once the changes are complete (for very large state maps,
* a purely functional map data structure may be more appropriate
* since a complete copy is not necessary).
