Function sdl2_sys::SDL_CreateCond

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_CreateCond() -> *mut SDL_cond

Create a condition variable.

Typical use of condition variables:

Thread A: SDL_LockMutex(lock); while ( ! condition ) { SDL_CondWait(cond, lock); } SDL_UnlockMutex(lock);

Thread B: SDL_LockMutex(lock); … condition = true; … SDL_CondSignal(cond); SDL_UnlockMutex(lock);

There is some discussion whether to signal the condition variable with the mutex locked or not. There is some potential performance benefit to unlocking first on some platforms, but there are some potential race conditions depending on how your code is structured.

In general it’s safer to signal the condition variable while the mutex is locked.
