 * \class PluginHostAdapter PluginHostAdapter.h <vamp-hostsdk/PluginHostAdapter.h>
 * 
 * PluginHostAdapter is a wrapper class that a Vamp host can use to
 * make the C-language VampPluginDescriptor object appear as a C++
 * Vamp::Plugin object.
 *
 * The Vamp API is defined in vamp/vamp.h as a C API.  The C++ objects
 * used for convenience by plugins and hosts actually communicate
 * using the C low-level API, but the details of this communication
 * are handled seamlessly by the Vamp SDK implementation provided the
 * plugin and host use the proper C++ wrapper objects.
 *
 * See also PluginAdapter, the plugin-side wrapper that makes a C++
 * plugin object available using the C query API.
