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_PushEvent\- Pushes an event onto the event queue
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_PushEvent\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Event *event\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The event queue can actually be used as a two way communication channel\&. Not only can events be read from the queue, but the user can also push their own events onto it\&. \fBevent\fR is a pointer to the event structure you wish to push onto the queue\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
Pushing device input events onto the queue doesn\&'t modify the state of the device within SDL\&.
.RE
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR on success or \fB-1\fR if the event couldn\&'t be pushed\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
See \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR\&.
