From: Torsten Giebl Subject: ALLOCA Patch for SDL-1.2 Newsgroups: gmane.comp.lib.sdl Date: 2006-10-24 00:31:16 GMT Hello ! As alloca.h is not available on CYGWIN and MinGW32 it should not be checked there or it should be checked with -mno-cygwin using. I am a total configure.in newbie, but i found the way that things are handled in configure.in pretty bad for the case CYGWIN with MinGW Mode or not. Maybe this is not possible but i would like to have a way to detect at the start for example CYGWIN and then add. ask if configure was called with --enable-cygwin for example. --enable-cygwin should be optional and disabled by default as we want to have MinGW Mode by default. Only if the user wants it he should be able to use it. Then the whole configure.in would get add. questions okay the system is CYGWIN with or without MinGW Mode. The alloca.h thing for example is only available under CYGWIN ( without MinGW Mode ). CU

>Event handling allows your application to receive input from the user. Event handling is initalised (along with video) with a call to:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);</PRE
>
Internally, SDL stores all the events waiting to be handled in an event queue. Using functions like <A
HREF="sdlpollevent.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PollEvent</TT
></A
> and <A
HREF="sdlpeepevents.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PeepEvents</TT
></A
> you can observe and handle waiting input events.</P
><P
>The key to event handling in SDL is the <A
HREF="sdlevent.html"
><SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
></A
> union. The event queue itself is composed of a series of <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
> unions, one for each waiting event. <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Event</SPAN
> unions are read from the queue with the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_PollEvent</TT
> function and it is then up to the application to process the information stored with them.</P
