SDL - Destroying SDL_Textures*

[Aaron Vienneau]

Hello,

So I have a SDL_Texture* wrapper called CTexture that just has a private member of SDL_Texture* which stores an image of the texture in question. I want to create a button that is a CTexture, but when the button is clicked, I want it to be "destroyed" (invisible - not interfering with anything else).

I have a function now (Destination is an SDL_Rect for destination rendering):

void CTexture::destroy()
{
	SDL_DestroyTexture(texture);
	texture = nullptr;
	destination.h = 0;
	destination.w = 0;
	destination.x = -1;
	destination.y = -1;
}

Is it valid to destroy a texture while a program is running and set it to null? It won't break anything? Am I doing it wrong?


If you need more of my code, let me know.

Yes, it's valid as long as you don't reference your texture again.
