al_pause_event_queue(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_pause_event_queue — Allegro 5 API. That’s it, that’s the icon. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_pause_event_queue(ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *queue, bool pause)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and al_pause_event_queue is the function that pauses or resumes accepting new events into the event queue. To resume, you pass false for pause. Events already in the queue are unaffected — they stay right where they are, bestie. 🫶

While a queue is paused, any events which would be entered into the queue are simply ignored. No cap. This is an alternative to unregistering then re-registering all event sources from the event queue, if you just need to prevent events piling up in the queue for a while. It’s giving “pause the group chat notifications, don’t delete the chat” energy. 💅
