💅 BSON_MEM_RESTORE_VTABLE(3) — a libbson moment ✨

okay bestie, so this one's a little function from the libbson manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions section, iykyk), and it's honestly short but it's important, so pay attention 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
bson_mem_restore_vtable (void);

that's it. that's the whole signature. no arguments, returns void. she's simple, she's elegant, she's lowkey the most important call you'll make all day 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like — this function shall restore the default memory allocator to be used by Libbson. that's the whole vibe. you had a custom allocator situation going on, and this hands the keys back to the factory default. main character energy: the original allocator returns 👑

⚠️ WARNING, and I need you to actually read this one, fr fr: this function MUST be called at the end of the process. like, must must. if you don't? memory ends up being freed by the wrong allocator. 😭 that's the bad timeline, bestie — don't go there. failure to do so will result in memory being freed by the wrong allocator, and that's not a vibe.

no cap, this is the "clean up after yourself before you leave the party" of Unix calls. 🧹✨
