it would be nice if there was a function
bool SDL_mutexInitialized(SDL_mutex * mutex)
which returns false if the mutex was not created
SDL_CreateMutex should return NULL if something went wrong with initialization. Or are you referring to something else?
the point is that it could happen where a mutex has not been created because the call to SDL_CreateMutex() was not executed (for some reason). If another thread then tries to access that mutex (assuming it WAS created); things go bananas
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you want to do, but SDL_CreateMutex returns a pointer so what you are asking doesn’t really make sense. You just need to make sure the mutex is created before it’s used.

you’re totally right ! I had a function that passed the mutex as a parameter but didn’t realize that this parameter could be checked NULL
