al_destroy_thread(3alleg5)

al_destroy_thread 💖

aka the "bye bestie, thread edition" page — straight out of the Allegro 5 API (that's section 3alleg5 of the Allegro reference manual, iykyk 🎀)

---

✨ NAME ✨

al_destroy_thread — literally just the Allegro 5 API doing its lil cleanup thing 🧹💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_destroy_thread(ALLEGRO_THREAD *thread)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. this function frees all the resources that a thread was using. thread had its moment, thread ate, and now thread gets to rest 💀✨

and here's the part that's giving main character energy: it implicitly performs al_join_thread(3alleg5) on the thread if that hasn't already been done. so like, it handles the whole "wait for you to finish" thing for you, no extra steps required, we love a self-sufficient queen 👑

and if thread is NULL? it does nothing. no crash, no drama, no nothing. it just vibes 🫶

ngl bestie, this one's a low-stakes function. no traps, no undefined behaviour, no caution tape. rare and iconic 🌈

mwah 💜 that's the whole page! this was pulled from the Allegro reference manual, filed under al_destroy_thread(3alleg5) — so yeah, Allegro 5, section 3, exactly where you found it. go forth and destroy some threads (respectfully) 🦋✨
