Bug 770

Summary: vc++ Express 2008
Product: SDL Reporter: Steve <suttonsy>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.0   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows Vista   

Description Steve 2009-07-15 03:42:01 UTC 
don't  know enough but seems to be attempting to make sure that _this->CreateWindow already instantiated/ != 0. Also static declaration of
 static SDL_VideoDevice *_this = NULL; involved. Some attempts at fix give compiler message " bad storage class"

The error follows
sdl library\sdl-1.3.0-4563\src\video\sdl_video.c(799) : error C2039: 'CreateWindow' : is not a member of 'SDL_VideoDevice'

The line from code is
line # 797 ( may not be exact. I made changes so ...?
    if (_this->CreateWindow && _this->CreateWindow(_this, &window) < 0) {

in function

SDL_WindowID
SDL_CreateWindow(const char *title, int x, int y, int w, int h, Uint32 flags)


Just tryin to compile source for sdl library 1.3.0-4563
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-07-18 22:32:34 UTC 
This is probably CreateWindow getting #defined in windows.h to a Unicode/ANSI function. Sam: Didn't this happen when the atomic operations patch went in? Is it still broken at the svn head?

It looks like the latest in Subversion fixed this.
