Function SDL_WaitConditionTimeout

pub unsafe extern "C" fn SDL_WaitConditionTimeout(
    cond: *mut SDL_Condition,
    mutex: *mut SDL_Mutex,
    timeoutMS: i32,
) -> bool
Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.
Expand description

Wait until a condition variable is signaled or a certain time has passed.

This function unlocks the specified mutex and waits for another thread to call SDL_SignalCondition() or SDL_BroadcastCondition() on the condition variable cond, or for the specified time to elapse. Once the condition variable is signaled or the time elapsed, the mutex is re-locked and the function returns.

The mutex must be locked before calling this function. Locking the mutex recursively (more than once) is not supported and leads to undefined behavior.

§Parameters

  • cond: the condition variable to wait on.
  • mutex: the mutex used to coordinate thread access.
  • timeoutMS: the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, or -1 to wait indefinitely.

§Return value

Returns true if the condition variable is signaled, false if the condition is not signaled in the allotted time.

§Thread safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

§Availability

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
