✨ icetGetError(3) — IceT Reference ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the IceT Reference 💖 this is the page for icetGetError, and it's literally the "what went wrong tho" function. let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

icetGetError — return the last error condition. yes, the last one. not all of them. the one. 💅

---

✨ Synopsis ✨

#include <IceT.h>

GLenum icetGetError(   void   );

that's it. no args, no drama, just vibes and a GLenum coming back at you 🎀

---

💜 Description 💜

so here's the tea: this function retrieves the first error or warning condition that happened since the last time you called icetGetError, or since your program started up — whichever of those two came later. iykyk 🧚

and the important part, bestie: once an error condition has been retrieved with icetGetError, the error condition gets reset to no error and it cannot be retrieved again. it's giving one-time-only, no takebacks, the receipt is gone 😭

---

👑 Return Value 👑

you're gonna get back one of these flags, and you need to know them fr fr:

• ICET_INVALID_VALUE — an inappropriate value has been passed to a function. like, girl, that number was not it 💀
• ICET_INVALID_OPERATION — an inappropriate function has been called. wrong function at the wrong time, embarrassing 🙈
• ICET_OUT_OF_MEMORY — IceT has ran out of memory for buffer space. she's full, there's no room, it's over 😭
• ICET_BAD_CAST — a function has been passed a value of the wrong type. wrong type bestie, that's a whole different species 🌸
• ICET_INVALID_ENUM — a function has been passed an invalid constant. that constant? not a real one 💅
• ICET_SANITY_CHECK_FAIL — an internal error (or warning) has occurred. inside job, we don't talk about it ✨
• ICET_NO_ERROR — no error has been raised since the last call to icetGetError. we're clean, we're thriving, main character energy 👑

---

💀 Bugs 💀

there is genuinely no way to tell if the value you got back was caused by an error or by a warning. they're the same flag. they're wearing the same outfit. you cannot tell them apart 😭

---

🦋 Notes 🦋

the error value is not context dependent. periodt. 💖
