✨ MIX_GetTrackMixer(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_mixer3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, and lemme tell you, this one is a snack. it's short, it's sweet, and it answers the question every track eventually asks itself: who is my mom πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

MIX_GetTrackMixer β€” get the MIX_Mixer that owns a MIX_Track. like, the whole entire owner. no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h>

MIX_Mixer * MIX_GetTrackMixer(MIX_Track *track);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, this function hands you back the mixer pointer that was passed to MIX_CreateTrack(). that's it. that's the whole vibe. the track remembers who made it and this is how you find out πŸ‘‘

literally just "hey track, who's your mixer" and it tells you, fr fr.


πŸ“ FUNCTION PARAMETERS πŸ“

  • track β€” the track you wanna query, bestie. that's the one.

πŸ’– RETURN VALUE πŸ’–

it returns the mixer associated with the track πŸ₯³ ... BUT if something went sideways, it returns NULL instead. and not in a cute way. in that case you gotta call SDL_GetError() for more info about what went wrong, because the function itself is not gonna spill the tea 😭

so like, ALWAYS check for NULL before you start using the thing. i'm not saying that's a jump scare but it IS a jump scare πŸ’€

🌈 THREAD SAFETY 🌈

good news, icon: it is safe to call this function from any thread. every single one. go wild, queen πŸ‘‘βœ¨


⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function has been serving since SDL_mixer 3.0.0. old enough to be iconic, young enough to still be relevant 🫢
