Couriersud fixed bug #603 Using the following sequence SDL_Init(..:) SDL_CreateWindow(..., SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL) SDL_DestroyWindow SDL_CreateWindow(..., SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL) SDL will crash in X11_GL_GetVisual. This is due to the fact that during SDL_DestroyWindow X11_GL_Shutdown was called because the last window has been closed. On the next call to SDL_CreateWindow the library is still loaded and only the memory is reinitialized. Function pointers such as gl_data->glXChooseVisual will not be reinitialized. Consequently, SDL will crash due to a NULL pointer access. The attached patch corrects the behaviour.

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.
The code contains support for Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
