The new, cleaner, version of the atomic operations. The dummy code is what you should start working with to port atomic ops. The linux code appears to be complete and *should* be the base of all Unix and GCC based versions. The macosx and win32 versions are currently just copies of the dummy code. I will begin working on the windows version as soon as this check in is done. I need someone to work on the Mac OS X version. I'm afraid that this check in will break QNX (Sorry!)

11 This function sets up a filter to process all events before they are posted to the event queue\&. This is a very powerful and flexible feature\&. The filter is prototyped as:

17 If the filter returns \fB1\fR, then the event will be added to the internal queue\&. If it returns \fB0\fR, then the event will be dropped from the queue\&. This allows selective filtering of dynamically\&.

19 There is one caveat when dealing with the \fBSDL_QUITEVENT\fP event type\&. The event filter is only called when the window manager desires to close the application window\&. If the event filter returns 1, then the window will be closed, otherwise the window will remain open if possible\&. If the quit event is generated by an interrupt signal, it will bypass the internal queue and be delivered to the application at the next event poll\&.
