(patch tweaked a bit) Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 03:30:11 +0000 From: Peter Mulholland Subject: [SDL] Windows MessageBox() strangeness fixes Hello all, I *think* this should fix the issues that people were seeing with MessageBox() not working and therefore assert() on mingw/msvc. Forgive me if i've screwed up making the diff file - I'm a total newb when it comes to things like CVS and diff. It modifies a few files as I saw that FlushMessageQueue() was in both the windx5 and windib driver, so I moved this into wincommon. It was also in the gapi driver, so I changed that too. The function is now WIN_FlushMessageQueue() in src/video/wincommon/SDL_syswm.c

.SH "NAME"
SDL_CreateSemaphore\- Creates a new semaphore and assigns an initial value to it\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_sem *\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore\fP\fR(\fBUint32 initial_value\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore()\fP creates a new semaphore and initializes it with the value \fBinitial_value\fR\&. Each locking operation on the semaphore by \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&. The locking operation will be blocked if the semaphore value is not positive (greater than zero)\&. Each unlock operation by \fISDL_SemPost\fR will atomically increment the semaphore value\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a pointer to an initialized semaphore or \fBNULL\fR if there was an error\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_sem *my_sem;

my_sem = SDL_CreateSemaphore(INITIAL_SEM_VALUE);

if (my_sem == NULL) {
        return CREATE_SEM_FAILED;
