SDL_SemPost
Use this function to atomically increment a semaphore's value and wake waiting threads.
Contents
Syntax
int SDL_SemPost(SDL_sem* sem)
Function Parameters
sem |
the semaphore to increment |
Return Value
Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure ; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Code Examples
Typical use of semaphores:
SDL_atomic_t done;
SDL_sem *sem;
SDL_AtomicSet(&done, 0);
sem = SDL_CreateSemaphore(0);
.
.
Thread A:
while (!SDL_AtomicGet(&done)) {
add_data_to_queue();
SDL_SemPost(sem);
}
Thread B:
while (!SDL_AtomicGet(&done)) {
SDL_SemWait(sem);
if (data_available()) {
get_data_from_queue();
}
}
.
.
SDL_AtomicSet(&done, 1);
SDL_SemPost(sem);
wait_for_threads();
SDL_DestroySemaphore(sem);
