Hello, I'm writing code around a C library.
I'm trying to make a Window struct that contains data linked to the lifetime of a zglfw.Window, the init() should create the zglfw.Window and the deinit() should close it. That means that if I have a non null Window struct, I'm guaranteed to have a proper zglfw.Window open.
Now here the tricky part, in zig we like to have the init() function return a value, not a pointer (see this discussion here https://discord.com/channels/605571803288698900/1192506137900241047). But that means that in my init function I cannot take a pointer to my Window struct to give it to the zglfw api to for example set a user pointer.
The best solution I found is to have a second set_window_pointer() function that must be called after the init() that can do the proper pointer setups, but is there a better way to do this than to have two separate functions ?
Example code for my application :
