qthread_retloc(3)

✨ qthread_retloc ✨

okay bestie, welcome to libqthread section 3 — this one's a lil three-liner and she is iconic for being exactly what she says on the tin 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

qthread_retloc — hands you a pointer to your qthread's return location, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <qthread.h>

aligned_t *
qthread_retloc (void);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically, this function returns the location that the return value of the current thread is gonna get stored into — if one has actually been defined. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's not doing tricks, she's just pointing you at where the good stuff lives 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• Returns a pointer to the location that the thread's return value will be stored in.
• But listen — if the thread's return value is not going to be stored via FEBs</>, this function just returns NULL. no pointer, no location, no drama, just NULL. 😭

fr fr, check for that NULL before you go dereferencing anything, bestie. she will not warn you twice 💀
