ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the 3alleg5 manual, Allegro 5 API edition ✨ buckle up because this one is short but it's lowkey important.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE — it's giving "the Allegro 5 API" 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE ALLEGRO_MEMORY_INTERFACE;

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ok so this struct is literally just a lil bundle of function pointers, and it has these fields, no cap:

void *(*mi_malloc)(size_t n, int line, const char *file, const char *func);
void (*mi_free)(void *ptr, int line, const char *file, const char *func);
void *(*mi_realloc)(void *ptr, size_t n, int line, const char *file,
                    const char *func);
void *(*mi_calloc)(size_t count, size_t n, int line, const char *file,
                   const char *func);

that's the whole vibe: four hooks, each one takes a line, a file and a func so you know exactly where the memory drama went down 💅 main character energy fr fr.
