💖 NAME 💖

  • SDL_const_cast — Handle a Const Cast properly whether using C or C++.

okay so bestie, this is SDL_const_cast(3) from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS crew. It's the macro that keeps your const casts from being a whole dramatic situation, whether you're living that C life or serving C++ realness. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First, pull in the header:

#include <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>

#define SDL_const_cast(type, expression) const_cast<type>(expression)  /* or `((type)(expression))` in C */

That define is the whole moment. No cap. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

  • If compiled as C++, this macro offers a proper C++ const_cast<>. C++ bestie, you get the real thing.
  • If compiled as C, this macro does a normal C-style cast. Simple, classic, does the job.
  • This is helpful to avoid compiler warnings in C++. Your build stays cute and your warnings stay quiet. 🎀

🎀 MACRO PARAMETERS 🎀

  • type — the type to cast the expression to.
  • expression — the expression to cast to a different type.

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

Returns expression, cast to type. That's the tea. That's the return. 🫶

👑 THREAD SAFETY 👑

It is safe to call this macro from any thread. So yes, bestie, go multi-threaded. Main character energy only. 🔥

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0. Mark it in your calendar with a little star. ⭐
