okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual, page al_destroy_index_buffer from the 3alleg5 section. yes it's a short one. no it's not less iconic for it. let's go π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
al_destroy_index_buffer β literally just the Allegro 5 API telling you how to say bye-bye to an index buffer π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>
void al_destroy_index_buffer(ALLEGRO_INDEX_BUFFER* buffer)
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so the whole vibe of this function is: it destroys an index buffer. that's it, that's the job. you hand it a buffer, it's gone, the memory gets reclaimed, the main character has left the building π
and here's the cute part β if you pass NULL, it does nothing. no crash, no drama, no screaming into the void. it just politely looks away and pretends it saw nothing. bestie behavior, honestly.
ngl that's genuinely useful, because you can call it on stuff you might have allocated without doing a whole if (buffer != NULL) vibe check first. it's giving "safe to be careless" but like, in a good way π
β SINCE β
