SDL_RWFromConstMem
Use this function to prepare a read-only memory buffer for use with RWops.
Contents
Syntax
SDL_RWops* SDL_RWFromConstMem(const void* mem,
int size)
Function Parameters
mem |
a pointer to a read-only buffer to feed an SDL_RWops stream |
size |
the buffer size, in bytes |
Return Value
Returns a pointer to a new SDL_RWops structure, or NULL if it fails; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
Code Examples
char bitmap[] = {
66, 77, 86, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0 ...
};
SDL_RWops *rw = SDL_RWFromConstMem(bitmap, sizeof(bitmap));
SDL_Surface *img = SDL_LoadBMP_RW(rw, 1); /* Automatically frees the RWops struct for us */
/* Do something with img... */
Remarks
This function sets up an SDL_RWops struct based on a memory area of a certain size. It assumes the memory area is not writable.
Attempting to write to this RWops stream will report an error without writing to the memory buffer.
This memory buffer is not copied by the RWops; the pointer you provide must remain valid until you close the stream. Closing the stream will not free the original buffer.
If you need to write to a memory buffer, you should use SDL_RWFromMem() with a writable buffer of memory instead.
