Fixed bug #537 Description From esigra 2008-01-07 16:20:21 (-) [reply] I try to get a clean compile for a project using SDL. But I get warnings from SDL headers when I use -Wold-style-cast. This is especially bad because I plan to build the software with -Werror=old-style-cast when we have switched over to GCC 4.2, which has that option. But this problem can be fixed in the SDL headers. I checked out the SVN version and made some patches. See the attached patch.

>Description</H2
><P
>This function sets up a filter to process all events before they are posted 
to the event queue.  This is a very powerful and flexible feature.  The filter 
is prototyped as:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>typedef int (*SDL_EventFilter)(const SDL_Event *event);</PRE
>
If the filter returns <SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>1</SPAN
>, then the event will be 
added to the internal queue.  If it returns <SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>0</SPAN
>, 
then the event will be dropped from the queue.  This allows selective
filtering of dynamically.</P
><P
>There is one caveat when dealing with the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SDL_QUITEVENT</TT
> event type.  The
event filter is only called when the window manager desires to close the
application window.  If the event filter returns 1, then the window will
be closed, otherwise the window will remain open if possible.
If the quit event is generated by an interrupt signal, it will bypass the
internal queue and be delivered to the application at the next event poll.</P
