ALLEGRO_EV...PE_IS_USER(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so we're looking at ALLEGRO_EV...PE_IS_USER(3) from the Library Functions Manual — aka the Allegro reference manual — and it's giving pure Allegro 5 API realness, bestie. The actual main character here is ALLEGRO_EVENT_TYPE_IS_USER 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              #define ALLEGRO_EVENT_TYPE_IS_USER(t)        ((t) >= 512)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ALLEGRO_EVENT_TYPE_IS_USER(t) is a macro, and it evaluates to true if the event type is not a builtin event type — i.e. one of those described in ALLEGRO_EVENT_TYPE(3). That's the whole vibe check. 🦋

Under the hood the definition is literally ((t) >= 512), no cap. The macro is iconic like that: you pass in your event type, it tells you whether it's user-made or not, periodt. ✨

Bestie note: this is a macro, not a function, and the whole point is checking whether the event type is a user event type instead of a builtin one. Lowkey simple, highkey useful. 💖
