Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 15:17:00 +0200 From: c2woody@gmx.net Subject: [SDL] SDL 1.2 doube free/pointer zeroing missing Hello, this is about a crash/debug breakage for the current SDL 1.2 source tree (today's svn checkout, same problem in 1.2.13 and before as far as relevant). In some places memory is free()d but the associated pointer is not zeroed, leading to for example double free()s. For me this happened because SDL_StopEventThread() was executed twice (during restart of the subsystems), once for the close down in SDL_VideoQuit() and once at the startup, right at the beginning of SDL_StartEventLoop(). Thus the code SDL_DestroyMutex(SDL_EventQ.lock); (see SDL_events.c) was called twice and executed the SDL_free(mutex); twice as well, leading to a crash (msvc 64bit for which it was noticed). I've tried to check all other occurrences of SDL_free and similar code in msvc, see the attached patch (udiff against revision 4082). Non-windows only codepaths have neither been checked nor touched. Comments/ideas welcome. Attached patch: NULLifies some pointers after they have been free()d.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_MixAudio \- Mix audio data
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid \fBSDL_MixAudio\fP\fR(\fBUint8 *dst, Uint8 *src, Uint32 len, int volume\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function takes two audio buffers of \fBlen\fR bytes each of the playing audio format and mixes them, performing addition, volume adjustment, and overflow clipping\&. The \fBvolume\fR ranges from 0 to \fBSDL_MIX_MAXVOLUME\fP and should be set to the maximum value for full audio volume\&. Note this does not change hardware volume\&. This is provided for convenience -- you can mix your own audio data\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
Do not use this function for mixing together more than two streams of sample data\&. The output from repeated application of this function may be distorted by clipping, because there is no accumulator with greater range than the input (not to mention this being an inefficient way of doing it)\&. Use mixing functions from SDL_mixer, OpenAL, or write your own mixer instead\&.
