SDL_SemWait3

Usage

Overview

SDL_SemWait() suspends the calling thread until either the semaphore pointed to by sem 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.

After SDL_SemWait() is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to SDL_SemPost.

Return value

Returns 0 if successful or -1 if there was an error (leaving the semaphore unchanged).

Examples

if (SDL_SemWait(my_sem) == -1) {
        return WAIT_FAILED;
}
...
SDL_SemPost(my_sem);
