AL_CREATE_THREAD_WITH_STACKSIZE(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Okay so this page comes from the Library Functions Manual, and the main character is al_create_thread_with_stacksize — Allegro 5 API, aka the function that spawns a thread with a stack size you pick. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_THREAD *al_create_thread_with_stacksize(
   void *(*proc)(ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread, void *arg), void *arg, size_t stacksize)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie, this one spawns a new thread with the stacksize you give it — and yes, that's in bytes. The new thread begins executing proc, and it gets passed its own thread handle plus the value arg.

On success you get a pointer to the thread back. If there was an error? It returns NULL. No cap. 😭

🎀 SINCE 🎀

5.2.5 — she's been around.

[Unstable API]: New API, may want a better way to specify thread options.

Signing off from the Allegro reference manual, page al_create_...h_stacksize(3) — and there’s no date printed on this one, so I’m not making one up, bestie 💖✨
