.SH NAME
.PP
al_fixsub \- Allegro 5 API
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
#include\ <allegro5/allegro.h>

al_fixed\ al_fixsub(al_fixed\ x,\ al_fixed\ y);
\f[]
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Although fixed point numbers can be subtracted with the normal
\f[C]\-\f[] integer operator, that doesn\[aq]t provide any protection
against overflow.
If overflow is a problem, you should use this function instead.
It is slower than using integer operators, but if an overflow occurs it
will set Allegro\[aq]s errno and clamp the result, rather than just
letting it wrap.
.PP
Example:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
al_fixed\ result;

/*\ This\ will\ put\ 4965\ into\ `result\[aq].\ */
result\ =\ al_fixsub(al_itofix(5000),\ al_itofix(35));

/*\ Sets\ errno\ and\ puts\ \-32768\ into\ `result\[aq].\ */
result\ =\ al_fixsub(al_itofix(\-31000),\ al_itofix(3000));
assert(!al_get_errno());\ /*\ This\ will\ fail.\ */
\f[]
.fi
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
Returns the clamped result of subtracting \f[C]y\f[] from \f[C]x\f[],
setting Allegro\[aq]s errno to ERANGE if there was an overflow.
