Thread Management

Include File(s): SDL_thread.h, SDL_mutex.h ^{(contains thread synchronization primitives)}

Introduction

This category contains functions for system independent thread management routines.

NOTE: You should not expect to be able to create a window, render, or receive events on any thread other than the main one. For platform-specific exceptions or complicated options ask on the mailing list or forum.

NOTE: Avoid creating threads or synchronization primitives prior to calling SDL_Init. While on some platforms (i.e. Windows) these functions will work correctly before SDL initialization, other platforms (i.e. Linux) may not.
