al_destroy...e_instance(3)

okay bestie, welcome to al_destroy...e_instance(3) from the Library Functions Manual 💖 this page is tiny but she still has main character energy.

🎀 NAME

al_destroy_sample_instance — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS

include this header, then call it like this, fr fr:

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

void al_destroy_sample_instance(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl)

💅 DESCRIPTION

al_destroy_sample_instance does exactly what it says on the tin: it detaches the sample instance from anything it may be attached to and then frees it 🫶

But listen, bestie — the sample data, i.e. its ALLEGRO_SAMPLE, is not freed! Like, the instance goes bye-bye, but the ALLEGRO_SAMPLE itself is not getting deleted by this. No cap. 💀

Warning bestie: this detaches and frees the sample instance, but it does not free the ALLEGRO_SAMPLE sample data. Periodt.
