rtcRetainDevice(3)

✨ NAME ✨

rtcRetainDevice — increments the device reference count 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <embree4/rtcore.h>

void rtcRetainDevice(RTCDevice device);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so device objects are reference counted, no cap. the rtcRetainDevice function increments the reference count of the device object you pass in — that's the device argument, bestie. this function, together with rtcReleaseDevice, lets you use the internal reference counting inside a C++ wrapper class to manage the ownership of the object. it's giving ownership-management realness ✨

---

😭 EXIT STATUS 😭

if it fails, an error code gets set, and you can query it with rtcGetDeviceError. so if something's acting up, go ask that function what's wrong 💀
