SDL_ReleaseGPUBuffer(3)

💖 SDL_ReleaseGPUBuffer 💖</p>

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 functions corner of the manual, this one's called SDL_ReleaseGPUBuffer and it's giving "bye babe, but responsibly" ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_ReleaseGPUBuffer — frees the given buffer as soon as it is safe to do so. no cap, that's literally the whole job. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

void SDL_ReleaseGPUBuffer(
    SDL_GPUDevice *device,
    SDL_GPUBuffer *buffer);

like look at her, two params, returns nothing, just vibes and cleanup 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea 🍓 — this function frees the given buffer, but as soon as it is safe to do so, not necessarily this exact nanosecond. It's patient. It's polite. It's main character energy for garbage collection.

⚠️ IMPORTANT BESTIE ⚠️ You must not reference the buffer after calling this function. Like, at all. Zero. None. That pointer is GONE — touching it after this is not it, fr fr 😭💀

---

✨ FUNCTION PARAMETERS ✨

• device — a GPU context. the whole setup, the stage, the moment. 🎀
• buffer — a buffer to be destroyed. rip to her, she's getting released 💐

---

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, bestie, you're lowkey out of luck 🙈
