🦋 al_set_event_source_data(3) 🦋

okay so bestie, this little icon lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's part of the Allegro 5 API — yes, the whole page is literally about al_set_event_source_data(3), and we're gonna get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

• al_set_event_source_data — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_event_source_data(ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *source, intptr_t data)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Assign the abstract user data to the event source. That's the move. Allegro does not use the data internally for anything — not even a little bit — it is simply meant as a convenient way to associate your own data or objects with events. So yeah, it's your little stash spot for vibes/objects tied to events, and Allegro is not gonna touch it 🫶

🎀 from the Allegro reference manual — footer also says al_set_event_source_data(3), and there's no date printed here, so that's all she wrote 💜
