✨ NAME ✨

al_destroy_native_file_dialog β€” bestie, this is the Allegro 5 API function that cleans up after your file dialog πŸ’– (and yes, the manual page itself lives in section 3alleg5, iykyk)


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#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 🫢


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

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" πŸ”₯

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 🌸

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 πŸ’€

so yeah, that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’œ This was pulled straight from the Allegro reference manual, page al_destroy_native_file_dialog(3alleg5). Go free your dialogs, you got this βœ¨πŸ¦‹πŸŽ€
