SDL_joystic.c - possible improvement

SDL_joystic.c

/*

  • Get the number of multi-dimensional axis controls on a joystick
    */
    int SDL_JoystickNumAxes(SDL_Joystick *joystick)
    {
    if ( ! ValidJoystick(&joystick) ) {
    return(-1);
    }
    return(joystick->naxes);
    }

In the same way that SDL joystick hats are represented as one unit, it
might be better to represent each analog stick (2 axes) in its own struct.

Having an event that had 2 axes could combine the info passed and save a
little time in some cases.

Hi,

I was suggesting an API improvement. I believe not related to your test
program.
