okay bestie, so this is one of those little Library Functions Manual pages from the audiolib crew, and it's genuinely so important β it's the cleanup queen of flow-element lists. she's small, she's iconic, she takes out the trash so your audio program doesn't leak memory like a broken water bottle π
β¨ Name β¨
AuFreeElements β frees the memory used by lists of flow elements π
like, that's her whole job and she does it flawlessly, no cap.
πΈ Synopsis πΈ
#include <audio/audiolib.h>
void AuFreeElements(server, num_elements, elements)

int num_elements;
AuElement *elements;
π¦ Arguments π¦
serverβ this is your connection to the audio server, the whole vibe link to the sound system. she needs it, you give it to her, periodt.num_elementsβ the number of elements you wanna free. count them, bestie, because she's not gonna guess π₯elementsβ a list of elements, and here's the tea: this is the exact list thatAuGetElementshanded you. she's taking back what that function gave you.
π Description π
so here's the situation: AuGetElements allocates memory for you, right? and memory doesn't just β¨disappearβ¨ when you're done with it. that's not how this works. so AuFreeElements frees the memory that was allocated by AuGetElements. that's it. that's the whole function. she's the responsible one in the friend group and honestly? we should all be more like her π
lowkey important: if you skip this, that memory just sits there forever like an unread text from three months ago. call her. please. π
