SDL_CondWait

Use this function to coordinate threads in a multi-threaded environment. This function will unlock the provided mutex and wait for the condition variable to be signaled. Once the condition variable is signaled this function will re-lock the mutex and return.

Syntax

int SDL_CondWait(SDL_cond*  cond,
                 SDL_mutex* mutex)

Function Parameters

cond

the condition pointer whose signal will be waited on.

mutex

mutex pointer used to gate thread access.

Return Value

Returns 0 when it is signaled or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Code Examples

Remarks

This function unlocks the specified mutex and waits on another thread to call SDL_CondSignal() or SDL_CondBroadcast() on the condition variable cond. The mutex is re-locked once the condition variable is signaled.

The mutex must be locked before entering this function.

This function is the equivalent of calling SDL_CondWaitTimeout with a time length of SDL_MUTEX_MAXWAIT.
