array_reset(3)

💖 array_reset(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is array_reset from the Library Functions Manual, living over in libowfat land, and she is so simple she's iconic. one job. one function. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

array_reset — deallocate array 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

first, say hi to the header:

#include <libowfat/array.h>

here's the signature, no notes:

void array_reset(array* x);

and here's how you'd actually call her in the wild:

array x;
array_reset(&x);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so array_reset is basically the vibe-check-and-cleanup girlie, and what she does depends entirely on what state your x is in. three scenarios, three moods, let's go:

• if x is allocated — she frees the region that x points to, and switches x over to being unallocated. clean slate energy ✨
• if x has failed — she doesn't even stress about it, she just switches x to being unallocated. that's it, that's the move 💜
• if x is unallocated — literally nothing happens. no effect. she's just standing there, serving absolutely nothing, and honestly? valid. 💀

ngl the whole function is giving "i don't know her" in the best way possible — she only ever makes x unallocated, no matter which door you came through 🎀
