Subject: [SDL] Request: Please reconsider adding tag in SDL_Event
Hi,
Patch in question:

} SDL_SysWMEvent;
/* General event structure */
-typedef union {
+typedef union SDL_Event {
Uint8 type;
SDL_ActiveEvent active;
SDL_KeyboardEvent key;
Reasoning:
----------
1) Allows forward declaration of the SDL_Event union in C++. Please
note that in plain C it is possible to forward declare it.
2) Forward declaration is good because it allows encapsulation. It hides
the specific implementation and does not necessarily exposes SDL staff
to my appication's namespace
3) It can't harm plain C because tags are living in a different namespace
than typenames
4) It is already done like this in other places in SDL. Check for example
SDL_KeySym, and SDL_.*Event structures.
5) Right now I have to include SDL/event.h from a C++ header file. See 2)

To compile and install SDL: 1. Run './configure; make; make install' If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at: http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42 If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read the file VisualC.html 2. Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library. 3. Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php That's it! Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org>
