SDL_CondWait

Wait until a condition variable is signaled.

Syntax

int SDL_CondWait(SDL_cond *cond, SDL_mutex *mutex);

Function Parameters

cond the condition variable to wait on
mutex the mutex used to coordinate thread access

Return Value

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

Remarks

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

The mutex must be locked before calling this function. Locking the mutex recursively (more than once) is not supported and leads to undefined behavior.

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

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
