✨ al_calloc_with_context ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual page for al_calloc_with_context πŸ’– this one lives in 3alleg5 and it's a lil memory-allocation situation, so let's get into it 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#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 πŸ’… 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.


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so the way this works: it calls calloc() from the Allegro library, which β€” and this is the tea β€” actually matters on Windows πŸ‘€ 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 🌈

and that's the whole page!! ✨ short, sweet, and fully iconic, just like her πŸ‘‘

later, bestie β€” this was the Allegro reference manual serving you al_calloc_with_context(3alleg5), mwah πŸ’– πŸŽ€ πŸ¦‹ 🌸 πŸ’…
