πŸ’– XmRenderTableRemoveRenditions β€” the library call that yeets renditions πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a convenience function and it is literally in the library call section of the manual, so you know it's the real deal. it's called XmRenderTableRemoveRenditions and yes, the name is a whole paragraph, we love a descriptive queen. ✨


✨ NAME ✨

XmRenderTableRemoveRenditions β€” a convenience function that removes renditions. that's it, that's the job, no cap. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmRenderTable XmRenderTableRemoveRenditions(
XmRenderTable oldtable,
XmStringTag *tags,
int tag_count);

like, copy that exactly, don't freestyle the signature, i'm begging. πŸ™ˆ


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: XmRenderTableRemoveRenditions takes oldtable and removes the renditions whose tags match the tags you listed in tags. then β€” and this is the main character moment β€” it places all the remaining renditions into a newly created render table. it's giving glow-up, it's giving fresh start. πŸ’…

  • oldtable β€” the render table you're removing renditions from. heads up though: this function deallocates the original render table and the matching renditions after it extracts the info it needs. so don't go using oldtable after this like nothing happened, bestie, it's gone. πŸ’€
  • tags β€” an array of tags, and the renditions that correspond to them are the ones getting removed from oldtable. bye babes 🫢
  • tag_count β€” the number of tags sitting in tags. count them. accurately. don't guess. ⭐

πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

here's the tea on what you get back:

  • if oldtable is NULL, or tags is NULL, or tag_count is 0 (zero), or honestly if no renditions get removed from oldtable at all β€” this function just returns oldtable. nothing happened, no drama, we move. 😭
  • otherwise, it returns a newly allocated XmRenderTable. and this part matters: the application is responsible for managing this allocated render table. you. you are responsible. not the library. you. πŸ‘‘
  • you can recover that allocated space by calling XmRenderTableFree. iconic. free the memory, free yourself. 🌈
not me stressing that if you forget XmRenderTableFree your program is lowkey leaking. it's giving "i'll deal with it later" and later never comes. don't be that girl. πŸ’œ

XmRendition(3) and XmRenderTableFree(3). go read those too, they're part of the lore, iykyk. πŸ“š


and that's the whole page, bestie β€” straight from the XmRenderTa...eRenditions(library call) manual page, footer and all, no date drama, just vibes. slay, go remove some renditions responsibly. πŸŽ€πŸ’–βœ¨
