al_destroy_native_file_dialog(3alleg5)
β¨ NAME β¨
al_destroy_native_file_dialog β bestie, this is the Allegro 5 API function that cleans up after your file dialog π (and yes, the manual page itself lives in section 3alleg5, iykyk)
π SYNOPSIS π
#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>
void al_destroy_native_file_dialog(ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER *dialog)
Like, that's the whole vibe. One include, one function, one pointer. Slay π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so listen. al_destroy_native_file_dialog frees up all the resources that your file dialog was using. All of them. Every last one. It's giving responsible cleanup, it's giving main character energy, it's giving "we don't leave memory lying around in this house" π₯
You hand it your ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER *dialog and it does the tidying. That's it. That's the function. Iconic, lowkey, and absolutely essential if you don't wanna leak stuff πΈ
Not me reminding you to actually call this when you're done with your file chooser β no cap, the resources are not gonna free themselves π
so yeah, that's the whole page, bestie π This was pulled straight from the Allegro reference manual, page al_destroy_native_file_dialog(3alleg5). Go free your dialogs, you got this β¨π¦π
