Date: Mon, 3 May 2004 03:15:01 +0100 From: David Symmonds Subject: SDL Typedef Structs Hi, Thanks for the SDL libraries, I have been using them for about a year now and they are really brilliant. One thing that I have just found whilst using them through C++ (and needing forward declarations) is that when you typedef structs you sometimes use typedef struct Name { ... }Name; e.g. SDL_Surface and other times use typedef struct { ... }Name; e.g. SDL_Rect The first type works fine, when I define a header file I can just put 'struct Name;' at the top and use the Name throughout. However, the second type is harder to use in a header, and I haven't found a way yet, other than to include 'SDL.h' in the header file (undesirable). Would there be any harm in changing the definition of SDL_Rect and such like to the second form?

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_Quit\fP shuts down all SDL subsystems and frees the resources allocated to them\&. This should always be called before you exit\&. For the sake of simplicity you can set \fBSDL_Quit\fP as your \fBatexit\fP call, like: 
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
\&.
\&.\fR
.fi

.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
While using \fBatexit\fP maybe be fine for small programs, more advanced users should shut down SDL in their own cleanup code\&. Plus, using \fBatexit\fP in a library is a sure way to crash dynamically loaded code
