al_calloc_with_context(3alleg5)
β¨ al_calloc_with_context β¨
okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual page for al_calloc_with_context π this one lives in 3alleg5 and it's a lil memory-allocation situation, so let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
void *al_calloc_with_context(size_t count, size_t n,
int line, const char *file, const char *func)
like, look at all those parameters π
she's got count, she's got n, she's got line, file and func β very "I know where I came from" of her, honestly.
π DESCRIPTION π
so the way this works: it calls calloc() from the Allegro library, which β and this is the tea β actually matters on Windows π like it's not just a flex, it's a real thing.
unless you've overridden it with al_set_memory_interface(3alleg5), in which case your custom interface is the one running the show, no cap.
ngl bestie, generally you should use the al_calloc(3alleg5) macro instead. that's the move. this function right here is the lower-level one doing the actual work behind the scenes π
and that's the whole page!! β¨ short, sweet, and fully iconic, just like her π
later, bestie β this was the Allegro reference manual serving you al_calloc_with_context(3alleg5), mwah π π π¦ πΈ π
