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)

.SH "NAME"
SDL_UpdateRects\- Makes sure the given list of rectangles is updated on the given screen\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid \fBSDL_UpdateRects\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *screen, int numrects, SDL_Rect *rects\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Makes sure the given list of rectangles is updated on the given screen\&. The rectangles must all be confined within the screen boundaries (no clipping is done)\&.
.PP
This function should not be called while \fBscreen\fR is \fIlocked\fR\&.
.PP
.RS
\fBNote:  
.PP
It is adviced to call this function only once per frame, since each call has some processing overhead\&. This is no restriction since you can pass any number of rectangles each time\&.
.PP
The rectangles are not automatically merged or checked for overlap\&. In general, the programmer can use his knowledge about his particular rectangles to merge them in an efficient way, to avoid overdraw\&.
