+/* midithru.c -- example program implementing background thru processing */
+
+/* suppose you want low-latency midi-thru processing, but your application
+ wants to take advantage of the input buffer and timestamped data so that
+ it does not have to operate with very low latency.
+
+ This program illustrates how to use a timer callback from PortTime to
+ implement a low-latency process that handles midi thru, including correctly
+ merging midi data from the application with midi data from the input port.
+
+ The main application, which runs in the main program thread, will use an
+ interface similar to that of PortMidi, but since PortMidi does not allow
+ concurrent threads to share access to a stream, the application will
+ call private methods that transfer MIDI messages to and from the timer
+ thread. All PortMidi API calls are made from the timer thread.
+ */
+
+/* DESIGN
+
+All setup will be done by the main thread. Then, all direct access to
+PortMidi will be handed off to the timer callback thread.
+
+After this hand-off, the main thread will get/send messages via a queue.
+
+The goal is to send incoming messages to the midi output while merging
+any midi data generated by the application. Sysex is a problem here
+because you cannot insert (merge) a midi message while a sysex is in
+progress. There are at least three ways to implement midi thru with
+sysex messages:
+
+1) Turn them off. If your application does not need them, turn them off
+ with Pm_SetFilter(midi_in, PM_FILT_ACTIVE | PM_FILT_SYSEX). You will
+ not receive sysex (or active sensing messages), so you will not have
+ to handle them.
+
+2) Make them atomic. As you receive sysex messages, copy the data into
+ a (big) buffer. Ideally, expand the buffer as needed -- sysex messages
+ do not have any maximum length. Even more ideally, use a list structure
+ and real-time memory allocation to avoid latency in the timer thread.
+ When a full sysex message is received, send it to the midi output all
+ at once.
+
+3) Process sysex incrementally. Send sysex data to midi output as it
+ arrives. Block any non-real-time messages from the application until
+ the sysex message completes. There is the risk that an incomplete
+ sysex message will block messages forever, so implement a 5-second
+ timeout: if no sysex data is seen for 5 seconds, release the block,
+ possibly losing the rest of the sysex message.
+
+ Application messages must be processed similarly: once started, a
+ sysex message will block MIDI THRU processing. We will assume that
+ the application will not abort a sysex message, so timeouts are not
+ necessary here.
+
+This code implements (3).
+
+Latency is also an issue. PortMidi requires timestamps to be in
+non-decreasing order. Since we'll be operating with a low-latency
+timer thread, we can just set the latency to zero meaning timestamps
+are ignored by PortMidi. This will allow thru to go through with
+minimal latency. The application, however, needs to use timestamps
+because we assume it is high latency (the whole purpose of this
+example is to illustrate how to get low-latency thru with a high-latency
+application.) So the callback thread will implement midi timing by
+observing timestamps. The current timestamp will be available in the
+global variable current_timestamp.
