hi,
i'm working on a very complex multi-media player, using SDL for video
output. therefore it is hard to produce a testcase, that mirrors my
project with all that threads.
i know it would be easier for you to help me with having a testcase, but
it's impossible.
i wrote a simple test case, but there everything went fine, so i think
it's a problem of my app. rather than a SDL problem, but hey - you are
the ones who know much more about SDL and its implementions and i hope,
someone has a clue to help me.
i run my app mostly under windows nt 4.0 (but the error is also occurs
on win2k).
my problem:
i create a SDL_Surface and afterwards a YUVOverlay. and i do some
blitting into this overlay.
after quiting the SDL (without freeing neither the overlay nor the
surface), the Window is still visible and causes a seg fault, when it
gets the focus or a mouse event or the like (this is not astonishing,
because SDL has freed all its memory).
i debugged the SDL_Quit() call a bit an came to the WINAPI call
DestroyWindow(SDL_Window), which returns with the error code 5
(ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED).
the 'window handle' (SDL_Window) is the same that CreateWindow() created.
so. does anybody know, what i do between creating the window and closing
it, that makes me lose the access??
i have about 7 threads running, but creating the window and closing it
is done in the same.
regards christian
