Can I use this for unit testing without running the full OBS app?

Yes, the guide includes patterns for mocking the OBS API so you can run unit tests for your core logic independently from the main application.

Does it cover macOS and Linux development?

Yes, it includes setup commands and debugging tool usage (GDB for Linux, LLDB for macOS) for both operating systems.

How does it help with memory leak detection?

It provides pre-configured commands and setup guides for Valgrind and AddressSanitizer (ASan) specifically tailored for the OBS environment.

Does this skill support both C++ and Rust OBS plugins?

Yes, it provides specific testing patterns, FFI isolation strategies, and build instructions for both C/C++ and Rust-based OBS plugins.

Security & Testing

Provides comprehensive guidance and implementation patterns for testing and debugging OBS Studio plugins in C/C++ and Rust.

This skill equips developers with standardized workflows for ensuring the stability and performance of OBS Studio plugins. It covers everything from setting up debug builds and using the native OBS logging system to advanced memory leak detection with Valgrind and AddressSanitizer. By providing specific testing patterns for both C/C++ and Rust—including strategies for isolating business logic from FFI layers—this guide helps developers catch bugs early and streamline the plugin development lifecycle.
