πŸ“¦ version 2.2, in fedora 43, fedora 44

πŸ’– HPL_pdpanel_disp β€” the cleanup era πŸ’–

ok so bestie, we're deep in the HPL library functions (that's the High-Performance Linpack vibe, iykyk) and this one is HPL_pdpanel_disp(3). She's the one who shows up at the end of the party with a trash bag and says "alright, everyone out." 🧹✨


✨ NAME ✨

HPL_pdpanel_disp β€” Deallocate a panel data structure.

Like, deallocate. Free it. Release it back into the void. She's giving main character cleanup energy and honestly? obsessed. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include "hpl.h"

int HPL_pdpanel_disp( HPL_T_panel * * PANEL );

no cap, that's the whole thing. short queen. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So here's the tea: HPL_pdpanel_disp deallocates the panel structure and its resources, and then β€” plot twist β€” it stores the error code returned by the panel factorization. 😭

the way that it does two jobs at once... multitasking icon behavior fr fr. she cleans up AND she remembers how the factorization went. we love a girl who takes notes. πŸ“


🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • PANEL (local input/output) β€” HPL_T_panel * *

On entry, PANEL points to the address of the panel data structure to be deallocated. 🫢

so like... she needs the address of the pointer, not just the pointer. it's a * * situation bestie, double the stars, double the slay. ⭐⭐


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the whole friend group, obviously:

go read those too, they're all part of the same little panel-arc, it's a saga honestly. πŸ”₯


πŸ’€ heads up: this is a C function, so if you pass the wrong thing you're gonna have a bad time. but that's just C being C, periodt.
