NAME¶

SDL_SetPointerPropertyWithCleanup - Set a pointer property in a group of properties with a cleanup function that is called when the property is deleted.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_properties.h>

bool SDL_SetPointerPropertyWithCleanup(SDL_PropertiesID props, const char *name, void *value, SDL_CleanupPropertyCallback cleanup, void *userdata);

DESCRIPTION¶

The cleanup function is also called if setting the property fails for any reason.

For simply setting basic data types, like numbers, bools, or strings, use SDL_SetNumberProperty, SDL_SetBooleanProperty, or SDL_SetStringProperty instead, as those functions will handle cleanup on your behalf. This function is only for more complex, custom data.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

props

the properties to modify.

name

the name of the property to modify.

value

the new value of the property, or NULL to delete the property.

cleanup

the function to call when this property is deleted, or NULL if no cleanup is necessary.

userdata

a pointer that is passed to the cleanup function.

RETURN VALUE¶

for more information.

THREAD SAFETY¶
