man SDL_SemTryWait (Fonctions bibliothèques) - SDL_SemTryWait- Attempt to lock a semaphore but don't suspend the thread.

NAME

SDL_SemTryWait- Attempt to lock a semaphore but don't suspend the thread.

SYNOPSIS

#include "SDL.h" #include "SDL_thread.h" int SDL_SemTryWait(SDL_sem *sem);

DESCRIPTION

SDL_SemTryWait is a non-blocking varient of SDL_SemWait. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by sem is positive it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will return SDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT instead of suspending the thread.

After SDL_SemTryWait is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to SDL_SemPost.

RETURN VALUE

Returns 0 if the semaphore was successfully locked or either SDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT or -1 if the thread would have suspended or there was an error, respectivly.

If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged.

EXAMPLES

CWres = SDL_SemTryWait(my_sem);

if (res == SDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT) { return TRY_AGAIN; } if (res == -1) { return WAIT_ERROR; }

...

SDL_SemPost(my_sem);
