Fixed bug #220 The AltiVec blitters don't compile, since they require __VEC__ to be enabled in order for the compiler to understand "vector" and friends (i.e. do AltiVec) But you don't want to turn AltiVec on globally, since then the code would only run on a G4 (there are already runtime tests, before using the AltiVec variants) The solution here is to enable AltiVec locally, for the actual AltiVec code.

.PP
\fBSDL_SemPost\fP unlocks the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR and atomically increments the semaphores value\&. Threads that were blocking on the semaphore may be scheduled after this call succeeds\&.

\fBSDL_SemPost\fP should be called after a semaphore is locked by a successful call to \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
