✨ NAME ✨

gen_pool_destroy — destroy a special memory pool

like, actually destroy it. poof. gone. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void gen_pool_destroy (struct gen_pool *pool );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg, no return, void said what it said 💀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pool — the pool you wanna destroy 🫶 this is the special memory pool in question, the one getting its main character exit.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea ☕ this function destroys the specified special memory pool — the one you passed in as pool, remember her — and before it does the deed it verifies that there are no outstanding allocations. like a bouncer checking the guest list before closing the club 🎀

🙈 lowkey important: it verifies there are no outstanding allocations. that check is in the description for a reason, bestie. no outstanding allocations. none. zero. don't make it weird.
