cgDestroyParameter(3)

NAME
cgDestroyParameter - destroy a parameter

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Cg/cg.h>
  void cgDestroyParameter( CGparameter param );

PARAMETERS
The parameter to destroy.

RETURN VALUES
None.

DESCRIPTION
cgDestroyParameter destroys parameters created with cgCreateParameter, cgCreateParameterArray, or cgCreateParameterMultiDimArray.

Upon destruction, param will become invalid. Any connections (see the cgConnectParameter manpage) in which param is the destination parameter will be disconnected. An error will be thrown if param is a source parameter in any connections.

The parameter being destroyed may not be one of the children parameters of a struct or array parameter. In other words it must be a CGparameter returned by one of the cgCreateParameter family of entry points.

EXAMPLES
  CGcontext context = cgCreateContext();
  CGparameter floatParam = cgCreateParameter(context, CG_FLOAT);
  CGparameter floatParamArray = cgCreateParameterArray(context, CG_FLOAT, 5);
  /* ... */
  cgDestroyParameter(floatParam);
  cgDestroyParameter(floatParamArray);

ERRORS
CG_INVALID_PARAM_HANDLE_ERROR is generated if param is not a valid parameter.

CG_NOT_ROOT_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if the param isn't the top-level parameter of a struct or array that was created.

CG_PARAMETER_IS_NOT_SHARED_ERROR is generated if param does not refer to a parameter created by one of the cgCreateParameter family of entry points.

CG_CANNOT_DESTROY_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if param is a source parameter in a connection made by cgConnectParameter. cgDisconnectParameter should be used before calling cgDestroyParameter in such a case.

HISTORY
cgDestroyParameter was introduced in Cg 1.2.
