Fixed bug #831 Andrey 2009-10-09 08:08:04 PDT gapi_hires_fix I made a mistake with the conclusions. And last time I as was mistaken with conclusions. Now I thought about in more detail the algorithm works. I have made it that the project fheroes2 well worked. The result of my work in attachment. I have a possibility to check up it on different models pocketpc. I checked various modes screen of 320x320, 320x240, 640x480, 800x400.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemWait \- Lock a semaphore and suspend the thread if the semaphore value is zero\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemWait()\fP suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR has a positive value, the call is interrupted by a signal or error\&. If the call is successful it will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&.
.PP
After \fBSDL_SemWait()\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 successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
