Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 14:14:42 -0400 From: "David Chait" <davebytes@hotmail.com> Subject: sdlmods.zip -- Message: 502 -- Next: 503 N -------------------------------------------- now bracketed with (MWERKS && macintosh), so it'll work under metrowerks under any kind of mac build. Project Builder probably uses pack properly as it is GCC under the covers, so not worrying about it... :) it sets packing to 68K 4-byte alignment, and turns on enumsalwaysint. resets them both to project defaults when done. note that if a project sets these things in a header and expects the settings to last throughout a C file (which is a nasty thing to do), it won't work. I think there's an overall-state push/pop system, but it's a deprecated interface so I'm loathe to use it...

Gets a snapshot of the current keyboard state\&. The current state is return as a pointer to an array, the size of this array is stored in \fBnumkeys\fR\&. The array is indexed by the \fI\fBSDLK_*\fP\fR symbols\&. A value of 1 means the key is pressed and a value of 0 means its not\&. The pointer returned is a pointer to an internal SDL array and should not be freed by the caller\&.
