💖 mdraw_clear_cache — from the m17n Library (section 3m17n) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is SHORT but it is important and I need you to actually read it, not just scroll 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mdraw_clear_cache — literally just: clear the cached info. that's it. that's the whole name. no notes 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mdraw_clear_cache (MText * mt)

she takes one argument, she returns nothing, she simply clears. iconic behaviour honestly 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so. the mdraw_clear_cache() function clears cached information on the M-text mt — and by "cached information" we mean the stuff that got attached by any of the drawing functions. all of them. every single one. no cap 🔥

here's the tea though, and this is the part you cannot skip:

when the behavior of the format or line_break member functions of MDrawControl changes, the cache must be cleared. like, must must. not "should", not "maybe later". MUST. the cache is stale, girl, and stale cache is giving chaos 😭

so if you've been out here messing with those member functions and everything looks weird — yeah. that's why. clear the cache. periodt 💅✨
