💅 Detailed Description 💅

okay so, this class is used to associate (object) pointers with named strings ✨ like, you give it a name, it gives you back a pointer, iconic behavior honestly.

A virtual is used to allocate memory which can be overriden in the derived class. so yes you can override it, and yes that is very much on purpose 🫶

🌈 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🌈

• ost::Assoc::Assoc () — [protected] the constructor, lowkey shy, only your own derived classes get to call her 🙈
• virtual ost::Assoc::~Assoc () — [protected], [virtual] and she's virtual too, so she cleans up properly when the derived class says bye 👑

⭐ Member Function Documentation ⭐

• void ost::Assoc::clear (void) — [protected] wipes the slate clean, protected energy only 🧼
• virtual void* ost::Assoc::getMemory (size_t size) — [protected], [pure virtual] ngl this one is pure virtual, which means you HAVE to implement it in your derived class or nothing compiles. no default, no shortcuts, main character responsibility fr fr 💀
• void* ost::Assoc::getPointer (const char * id) const — hand it the id, get the pointer back 🎀
• void ost::Assoc::setPointer (const char * id, void * data) — hand it an id and some data and she'll remember them together, obsessed 💖
