SDL_Quit problem

SDL Development

When my app closes, SDL will not relinquish the screen (which has been running
in fullscreen mode. Here’s the cleanup code, maybe I’m doing something wrong…

int cleanup_SDL(void){

    printf("quitting\n");
SDL_FreeSurface(screen);
printf("screen freed\n");
curbg = numbgs;
printf("%d %d\n",curbg,numbgs);
while (curbg >= 0){
	printf("%d\n",curbg);
	SDL_FreeSurface(bgs[curbg]);
	curbg--;
}
SDL_Quit(); 
return 0;

}

any ideas?

I assume “screen” is the video surface returned by SDL_SetVideoMode().
As mentioned in the doc wiki for SDL_SetVideoMode, you shouldn’t use
SDL_FreeSurface on this SDL_Surface. The video surface is freed
automagically by SDL when you call SDL_Quit(),
SDL_QutSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) or if you call SDL_SetVideoMode more
than once the previous screen will be freed.On 3/21/07, Mark Buster wrote:

Turns out I had a problem with a dynamically allocated multidimensional array
which was seemingly unrelated to SDL…>
