Fixed bug 944 Tatu Kilappa 2010-02-11 12:13:20 PST When compiling with -Wconversion, gcc complains about a cast in SDL_endian.h that might change the result as we are casting from an int into an Uint16. This is of course not visible unless we are on a non-x86 platform where the assembler is not available. While it's not really an error, the warning is really annoying. To fix, change SDL_endian.h line 87 to: return(Uint16)((x<<8)|(x>>8)); Thank you.

\fBint \fBSDL_SemPost\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemPost\fP unlocks the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR and atomically increments the semaphores value\&. Threads that were blocking on the semaphore may be scheduled after this call succeeds\&.
.PP
\fBSDL_SemPost\fP should be called after a semaphore is locked by a successful call to \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if successful or \fB-1\fR if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged)\&.
