Patch by me to fix crash described below. --ryan. To: sdl@libsdl.org From: Rainer Deyke <rainerd@eldwood.com> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 01:08:18 -0600 Subject: [SDL] Bug report: SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes If SDL is in full-screen mode with a hardware video surface on OS X, SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes. The crash occurs on line 109 of SDL_Surface.c. This was tested on OS X 10.3.9 with both SDL 1.2.8 and the latest CVS. Here is a small C++ program that demonstrates the problem: #include "SDL.h" #include <stdio.h> namespace { void wait_for_key() { SDL_Event e; printf("%d\n", SDL_GetAppState()); while (SDL_WaitEvent(&e)) { if (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN || e.type == SDL_QUIT) return; } } } int main(int, char *[]) { SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL_Surface *screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_HWSURFACE); SDL_Surface *s = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_HWSURFACE, 640, 480, 32, screen->format->Rmask, screen->format->Gmask, screen->format->Bmask, screen->format->Amask); wait_for_key(); if (s) SDL_FreeSurface(s); SDL_Quit(); printf("Success!\n"); return 0; }

.TH "SDL_SemWaitTimeout" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemWaitTimeout\- Lock a semaphore, but only wait up to a specified maximum time\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem, Uint32 timeout\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is a varient of \fISDL_SemWait\fR with a maximum timeout value\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive (greater than zero) it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will wait up to \fBtimeout\fR milliseconds trying to lock the semaphore\&. This function is to be avoided if possible since on some platforms it is implemented by polling the semaphore every millisecond in a busy loop\&.
.PP
After \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the timeout period was exceeded or there was an error, respectivly\&.
.PP
If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&.
