al_malloc_with_context(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to al_malloc_with_context(3) — straight from the Library Functions Manual, Allegro 5 API edition. ✨ This one’s short and sweet, but she still has rules. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

al_malloc_with_context — Allegro 5 API 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void *al_malloc_with_context(size_t n,
   int line, const char *file, const char *func)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here’s the tea: this calls malloc() from the Allegro library, and that detail matters on Windows — like, fr fr. 🪟✨ But if somebody overrode it with al_set_memory_interface(3), then that override is doing its thing instead.

Generally, bestie, you should use the al_malloc(3) macro. That’s the vibe. 👑

Lowkey important: don’t forget the “unless overridden with al_set_memory_interface(3)” part — it’s literally in the page. 💀
