al_destroy_display(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_destroy_display — Allegro 5 API. This is the al_destroy_display(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and we are literally here to destroy a display (safely, bestie 💅).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_destroy_display(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so al_destroy_display destroys a display. That's the main-character job 👑.

But here's the important tea: if the target bitmap of the calling thread is tied to the display, then it implies a call to al_set_target_bitmap(NULL); before the display is destroyed. No cap 🫶.

That special case notwithstanding, you should make sure no threads are currently targeting a bitmap which is tied to the display before you destroy it. Like, do the vibe check first, fr fr 😭.
