ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro 5 API reference manual (section 3alleg5, if you're keeping track 🎀), and it's about the single most iconic lil struct in the whole event system. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE;

like, that's it. that's the whole declaration. she's opaque, she's mysterious, she's giving main character energy 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so an event queue holds events that got generated by event sources which are registered with that queue. that's her whole job and she does it flawlessly, no notes 👑

here's the vibe: events get stored in the order they're generated. and access? strictly FIFO — first-in-first-out, periodt. the first event that went in is the first one that comes out. no cutting the line, no queue-jumping, no chaos. it's giving very disciplined. very organized. very ✨slay✨.

no cap, that ordering is the entire personality of this data structure and you should respect it.
