Description Dmitry 2014-05-29 20:50:20 UTC 
This code example demonstrate bug:

#include <SDL.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
    SDL_UserEvent myEvent;
    myEvent.code = 0;
    SDL_Event event;
    SDL_PushEvent(reinterpret_cast<SDL_Event*>(&myEvent));
    SDL_PollEvent(&event);
    if (event.user.code == 0)
        std::cout << "OK";
    return 0;
}

"OK" message does not appear because missing assignment
Event.type = SDL_USEREVENT; (without this Event.type can have any value)
But nevertheless SDL_PushEvent return success value (1).

Probably this is my misunderstanding, but I think that this is a bug.

It works for me here, you're just missing a newline:
std::cout << "OK" << std::endl;

Also, you need to specify the event type. Unlike C++, in C there are no default constructors for structures so you need to explicitly initialize every field in them.
