✨ al_destroy_vertex_buffer ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the 3alleg5 manual, aka the Allegro 5 API docs, and today we're doing a lil cleanup arc 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_destroy_vertex_buffer — the Allegro 5 API function that yeets a vertex buffer out of existence 🦋

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>

void al_destroy_vertex_buffer(ALLEGRO_VERTEX_BUFFER* buffer)

no cap, that's the whole signature. short king 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, this function destroys a vertex buffer. That's it, that's the job. It takes your buffer and it's gone. bye bye. 🎀

And here's the polite part: if you pass it NULL, it literally does nothing. No crash, no drama, no screaming into the void. It just looks at your NULL and goes "ok bestie, noted" and moves on. Iconic behaviour honestly. 🫶

⚠️ heads up: destroyed means destroyed. Don't be out here using that buffer pointer afterwards, that's giving undefined behaviour energy 💀
