Lock the read/write lock for write operations.
int SDL_LockRWLockForWriting(SDL_RWLock *rwlock) SDL_ACQUIRE(rwlock);| rwlock | the read/write lock to lock |
Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
This will block until the rwlock is available, which is to say it is not locked for reading or writing by any other thread. Only one thread may hold the lock when it requests write access; all other threads, whether they also want to write or only want read-only access, must wait until the writer thread has released the lock.
It is illegal for the owning thread to lock an already-locked rwlock for writing (read-only may be locked recursively, writing can not). Doing so results in undefined behavior.
It is illegal to request a write lock from a thread that already holds a read-only lock. Doing so results in undefined behavior. Unlock the read-only lock before requesting a write lock.
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
