Date: Tue, 05 Jul 2005 21:43:26 +1000 From: Sean Childs Subject: [SDL] Compiling SDL 1.2.8 with the free Borland compiler When compiling SDL 1.2.8 with the free Borland compiler, I received this error (there is a similar error that occurs in src\video\windx5\sdl_dx5events.c): Error E2342 ..\..\src\video\windib\sdl_dibevents.c 189: Type mismatch in parameter 'lpPrevWndFunc' (wanted 'int (__stdcall *)()', got 'long (__stdcall *)(void *,unsigned int,unsigned int,long)') in function DIB_HandleMessage I checked the MSDN library at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/ windowsuserinterface/windowing/windowprocedures/windowprocedurereference/wind owprocedurefunctions/callwindowproc.asp and it had this to say: If STRICT is not defined, the lpPrevWndFunc parameter has the data type FARPROC. The FARPROC type is declared as follows: int (FAR WINAPI * FARPROC) () In C, the FARPROC declaration indicates a callback function that has an unspecified parameter list. In C++, however, the empty parameter list in the declaration indicates that a function has no parameters. This subtle distinction can break careless code. Following is one way to handle this situation: #ifdef STRICT WNDPROC MyWindowProcedure #else FARPROC MyWindowProcedure #endif ... lResult = CallWindowProc(MyWindowProcedure, ...)

.SH "NAME"
SDL_ConvertSurface\- Converts a surface to the same format as another surface\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL/SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_Surface *\fBSDL_ConvertSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *src, SDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint32 flags\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Creates a new surface of the specified format, and then copies and maps the given surface to it\&. If this function fails, it returns \fBNULL\fP\&.
.PP
The \fBflags\fR parameter is passed to \fI\fBSDL_CreateRGBSurface\fP\fR and has those semantics\&.
.PP
This function is used internally by \fI\fBSDL_DisplayFormat\fP\fR\&.
.PP
This function can only be called after SDL_Init\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns either a pointer to the new surface, or \fBNULL\fP on error\&.
