🎀 al_free_with_context(3) 🎀

okay so bestie, this little icon is from the Allegro 5 API part of the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally here to explain al_free_with_context. tiny page, big main-character energy. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

• al_free_with_context — Allegro 5 API

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the exact include and signature, no cap — copy it character for character:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_free_with_context(void *ptr,
   int line, const char *file, const char *func)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this one calls free() from the Allegro library — and yes, bestie, this matters on Windows 🪟✨ — unless it's been overridden with al_set_memory_interface(3).

Generally, you should use the al_free(3) macro. that's the move. 🫶

lowkey important: the manual says to reach for al_free(3) generally, so don't act brand new about it 💅

mwah 💋 — this adorable page came from the Allegro reference manual, with al_free_with_context(3) holding down the footer. no explicit date listed on this one, so we're not inventing one 😭💖
