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...

If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&. .PP After \fBSDL_SemWait()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&. .SH "RETURN VALUE" .PP Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP .PP .nf \f(CWif (SDL_SemWait(my_sem) == -1) { return WAIT_FAILED; } \&.\&.\&.
