First off all, hello to everybody here as this is my first post in the
mailing list
Iām using Visual C++ 6.0 (with latest service pack, at least I think, donāt
remember well) and Iām coding a opengl application using sdl and sdl_mixer.
Now, my problem (Iāve spent 3 days on it, searched the web, searched the
mailarchive, searched msdn : NO solution !) :
When a breakpoint is reached, the keyboard and the mouse are frozen for 3 or
4 seconds. Then each single step action takes 1 second (I mean : single
stepping the code is at an average speed of 1 line per second).
When the breakpoint is placed BEFORE SDL_PollEvent, step debug is OK, but if
it is placed after step the problem occurs.
For example :
if(SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
switch(event.type)
{
case SDL_QUIT :
m_quitNow = true;
break;
Set breakpoint on if(SDL_PollEvent(&event))
Can step after the line as long as I want (BUT not if I ārunā to another
breakpoint)
Set breakpoint on switch(event.type)
Mouse and keyboard frozen, breakpoint freeze 5 seconds, stepping is very
slow
So Iām quite unable to use the debugger and itās very very annoyedā¦
Last point : Iāve tried to use windbg instead of visual studio built in
debugger : same behaviour
Please, does anybody knows how I can get out of this nightmare ???
Thank you___________________________________________________________

Iām having similiar nightmares too, with or without SDL.
Iām sorry I canāt help you, but Iād be very, very, very
thankful for any hint as wellā¦
Did you specify the SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE parameter when you called
SDL_Init() ?
Yes, and it changes nothingā¦ Unfortunately !

May be the problem comes from the directinput layer (and sdl use it). Iāve
tried to find information about any problem within directX and breakpoints
in visual studio without successā¦> ----- Original Message -----

Do you have any surfaces locked?

No, I use only one surface ā¦ declared like that :
SDL_Surface *MainWindow = NULL;
And used like that :
MainWindow = SDL_SetVideoMode(gWindowWidth,gWindowHeight,32,SDL_OPENGL |
SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_HWACCEL);
But, see my future post, may be this is the causeā¦

As has been said before, SDL_HWACCEL is not a flag that is valid to pass
to SDL_SetVideoMode()ā¦ The only flags that are legal for this function
call are listed below. See http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/sdlsetvideomode.php
for details.
Open the DX control panel (not dxdiag), under DirectInput, turn on
the emulation options.
That alone was enough to remove the keyboard delays from the app Iām
debugging. Itās not using SDLās input right now; it uses DI directly,
using the DI8 interface. Since SDL uses a much older version of DI, you
might need to turn on the debug DLLs, too. (That caused all kinds of
weird problems for me when I did it, thoughāgarbage in the keyboard
inputāso YMMV.) Also, it supposedly only works with foreground,
exclusive access (DISCL_FOREGROUND|DISCL_EXCLUSIVE); I donāt know what
SDL uses. (It works for me with nonexclusive access on the keyboard, though.)
I havnāt yet been able to get rid of the mouse delays, though.On Tue, Nov 26, 2002 at 11:47:56AM +0100, Chris wrote:

The simple fact off merging the .reg file for dxinput option gave me back
keyboard control

Me tooā¦ But stepping at normal speed is a pleasure

Using SDL for input, it does work if you enable the debug DLLs. (Still
no fix for mouse lag, though.)On Tue, Nov 26, 2002 at 06:21:27PM -0500, Glenn Maynard wrote:
