[SDL] Using SDL in assembler (GoAsm, x86)

[James Eibisch]

Dear all,

I  am  new to SDL and have read the docs, but am not clear on how to use it from
assembly programs. At the moment I'm re-teaching (so I'm quite rusty on a lot of
things!)  myself  x86  code  under  Windows  2000,  but  I  would  like to be as
independent  as possible from Windows -- i.e. I would prefer to write console or
full-screen programs, not windowed ones.

If we take the call SDL_Init, in C you would write something like:

if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO)==-1) {
   error occured...

But  what  should you do in assembler? Should I push SDL_INIT_VIDEO to the stack
and then call SDL_Init? Where is the return error code stored?

Also,  I  can't  see  a  list  of constants like SDL_INIT_VIDEO in the docs. How
should I use them given that I have to assemble before I've linked?

Thanks for any help,
James
