πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

ALLEGRO_COND β€” it's the Allegro 5 API, bestie, and this one lil' type is here to keep your threads talking to each other. ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_COND ALLEGRO_COND;

Like, that's the whole thing. Two lines. She's lowkey minimal and I respect it. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so, real talk: ALLEGRO_COND is an opaque structure representing a condition variable. 🌸

And what does "opaque" mean here? It means you don't get to peek inside. The struct is a mystery, a vibe, the main character with her diary locked. πŸ”’ You never touch the fields directly β€” the Allegro 5 API handles all of that for you, and you just pass the pointer around like the icon it is. No cap. πŸ‘‘

So if you were sitting here like "omg what's inside the struct, show me the members" β€” nope! πŸ™ˆ Not today. That's the whole point of an opaque type. Trust the process. 🫢


πŸ’‘ Just a heads-up bestie: this page is short because the type itself is just a declaration. The actual cond-var behaviour lives in the functions that take an ALLEGRO_COND *, so go read those if you wanna actually do stuff. 😭

k bye, ily, go write some thread-safe code πŸ’œ β€” this page came to you straight from the Allegro reference manual, filed under ALLEGRO_COND(3alleg5), and it's serving 3alleg5 energy forever and ever, periodt. πŸŽ€βœ¨
