💖 EC_COMP_FREE — bestie, let it go 💖

okay so real talk: this is page 3 of the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, and today we're learning how to release a completion object. Not everything needs to be held onto forever, bestie. Sometimes you gotta free your ec_comp and all its little items too. It's giving ✨closure✨.

🎀 NAME 🎀

ec_comp_free — free a completion object and all its items. yes, all of them. every single one. no stragglers, no leftovers, no "but what about—" — all of it. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

void ec_comp_free(
    struct ec_comp   *comp   /* The pointer to the completion structure to free. */
);

so you just hand over the pointer to your completion struct and it's like "bet, say less" and cleans the whole thing up. no return value, because there's nothing to report back — it just does it. iconic behaviour honestly. 🫶

Quick vibe check on that argument:

  • comp — the pointer to the completion structure you want to free. that's it. that's the whole job. literally just point at the thing and let it go. 🦋
heads up bestie: this frees the completion object and all its items — so don't go holding onto any pointers to items afterward and acting surprised when they're gone. that's on you, not on ec_comp_free. 💀
