al_backup_dirty_bitmap - Allegro 5 API
-
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
void al_backup_dirty_bitmap(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)
On some platforms, notably Windows Direct3D and Android, textures may be lost at
any time for events such as display resize or switching out of the app. On
those platforms, bitmaps created without the ALLEGRO_NO_PRESERVE_TEXTURE flag
automatically get backed up to system memory every time al_flip_display is
called.
This function gives you more control over when your bitmaps get
backed up. By calling this function after modifying a bitmap, you can make
sure the bitmap is backed up right away instead of during the next flip.
