[SDL] Using IMG_Load with SDL_DisplayFormat

[Philip D. Bober]

You can't check to see if IMG_Load returns NULL if you do it like that, and
you can't free the surface either.
Try doing it like this:
SDL_Surface * blah=NULL;
SDL_Surface * temp=IMG_Load ( "data/images/block0.jpg");
if(temp){
   blah=SDL_DisplayFormat(temp);
    SDL_FreeSurface(temp);
}else{
    //handle the error.
}

Hi

Whenever i use SDL_DisplayFormat in addition with IMG_load (from SDL_image
libary) i get an segmentation Fault:

SDL_Surface * blah = SDL_DisplayFormat ( IMG_Load (
"data/images/block0.jpg"))

I don't know what i'm doing wrong here. IMG_Load returns a Pointer to a
SDL_Surface and SDL_DisplayFormat expects a pointer to a SDL_Surface.
Any suggestions ?
