SDL_ASSERT_SHARED_CAPABILITY(3)

πŸ’– SDL_ASSERT_SHARED_CAPABILITY πŸ’–

okay bestie, so we're in the SDL3 part of the manual, and this one is literally a macro called SDL_ASSERT_SHARED_CAPABILITY. it's not a function you call, it's not a vibe you feel β€” it's a lil wrapper that hands your code over to Clang's thread safety analysis annotations. that's it, that's the whole girl. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

SDL_ASSERT_SHARED_CAPABILITY β€” a wrapper around Clang thread safety analysis annotations. no cap, that's genuinely all she does.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_mutex.h>

#define SDL_ASSERT_SHARED_CAPABILITY(x) \
  SDL_THREAD_ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE__(assert_shared_capability(x))

so you pull in SDL_mutex.h and the macro does its lil handoff to SDL_THREAD_ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE__, which passes assert_shared_capability(x) along to Clang. chef's kiss. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea: the docs for this one are not in here, they're over on the Clang side. go read:

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html#mutex-h

that link is the whole explanation, fr fr. it's giving "read the upstream docs, bestie." πŸ“š


⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this macro has been around since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, sorry babe, she's not there yet. πŸ’€


heads up: this is a thread-safety annotation thing β€” it's about telling the compiler what you know so it can yell at you nicely. don't skip the Clang link, it's the main character here. πŸ‘‘

and that's the page!! 🌈 go forth and annotate responsibly, my love. 🫢
