Is there a way free the draw sequence returned by TTF_GetGPUTextDrawData?

[JanWosnitza]

In SDL_gpu_textengine.c is a function DestroyDrawSequence which does clean it up.
But I can't find any function in the public API.

I copied DestroyDrawSequence to free the returned instances and at least it doesn't crash, so I guess that's the correct thing to do.

What am I missing?

Cheers,
Jan

The draw sequence is automatically managed by the text objects. If you do something that invalidates the textures, you should destroy the text engine and recreate it. I'm not sure whether that will automatically destroy the existing draw sequences, but if it doesn't, that would be a bug.

It looks like the public TTF_DestroyText() will already effectivly do as desired:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/src/SDL_gpu_textengine.c#L935
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/src/SDL_gpu_textengine.c#L745
Also releasing the glyphs which decrements their ref counters.
