al_calloc(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_calloc — it's giving Allegro 5 API 💖 (this page lives in the 3alleg5 manual, bestie, that's the whole vibe)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Okay so first you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

And then boom, it's a macro, she's defined like this:

#define al_calloc(c, n) \
   (al_calloc_with_context((c), (n), __LINE__, __FILE__, __func__))

Lowkey iconic that she sneaks __LINE__, __FILE__ and __func__ in there for you. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like, al_calloc() is the same energy as calloc() from the C standard library — except the implementation can be overridden. That's it, that's the whole tea. ☕✨

Heads up bestie: this is a macro. Not a function. A macro. Don't come for me, that's just what the page says. 💀
