💖 al_set_memory_interface(3) 💖

okay so this page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's giving “Allegro 5 API” energy. bestie, let’s get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_memory_interface — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_memory_interface(ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE *memory_interface)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Bestie, this one lets you override the memory management functions with implementations of al_malloc_with_context(3), al_free_with_context(3), al_realloc_with_context(3), and al_calloc_with_context(3). The context arguments may be used for debugging. The new functions should be thread safe.

If the pointer is NULL, the default behaviour will be restored.

💅 lowkey important: those new functions should be thread safe, fr fr.
