Why can't this simple SDL app be closed without task manager or rapid clicking of x button?

$begingroup$


I wrote a simple app that generates a window, a raster, and redraws the raster once every 16ms. Right now the calculations are empty, it just draws a solid color. I don't know how, but I have created a very resource hungry app that cannot be easily closed. I generally have to close it via the task manager.



Here is my SDL "wrapper" class. Below this class is what will eventually calculate a ray caster. I initially thought my call to SDL_RenderDrawPoint for every pixel in the 600x600 window was causing the issue, but I still cannot close the window easily with that code commented out.



SDLWrapper.cpp



#include <iostream>
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <vector>
#include "include/SDLWrapper.h"

using namespace std;

#define TICK_INTERVAL 16

static int next_time;

SDLWrapper::SDLWrapper() {
}

int SDLWrapper::setupSDLRenderer(int WINDOW_WIDTH, vector<vector<RGB>> (*generateRaster)()){
SDL_Event event;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
SDL_Window *window;

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_WIDTH, 0, &window, &renderer);
next_time = SDL_GetTicks() + TICK_INTERVAL;
while (1) {
if (SDL_PollEvent(&event) && event.type == SDL_QUIT)
break;

SDL_RenderClear(renderer);



rasterPixels = (*generateRaster)();
for (int i = 0; i < rasterPixels.size(); ++i)
{
for (int j = 0; j < rasterPixels.at(i).size(); ++j)
{
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer,
rasterPixels.at(i).at(j).R,
rasterPixels.at(i).at(j).G,
rasterPixels.at(i).at(j).B, 255);
SDL_RenderDrawPoint(renderer, i, j);
}
}
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);


SDL_Delay(time_left());
next_time += TICK_INTERVAL;


}
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

RGB SDLWrapper::peek(int x, int y){
return rasterPixels.at(x).at(y);
}

void SDLWrapper::poke(int x, int y, RGB color) {
rasterPixels[x][y] = ((RGB){color.R, color.G, color.B});
}

int SDLWrapper::time_left(void)
{
Uint32 now;

now = SDL_GetTicks();
if(next_time <= now)
return 0;
else
return next_time - now;
}


RayCaster1.cpp



#include "include/SDLWrapper.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

#define WINDOW_WIDTH 600

#define mapWidth 24
#define mapHeight 24

vector<vector<RGB>> rasterPixels;

RGB greenPixel;
greenPixel.R = 255;
greenPixel.G = 255;
greenPixel.B = 255;

for(int i = 0; i < WINDOW_WIDTH; i++) {
vector<RGB> column;

for(int j = 0; j < WINDOW_WIDTH; j++){
column.push_back(greenPixel);
}

rasterPixels.push_back(column);
}

return rasterPixels;
}

int main(int /*argc*/, char */*argv*/)
{
double posX = 22, posY = 12; //x and y start position
double dirX = -1, dirY = 0; //initial direction vector
double planeX = 0, planeY = 0.66; //the 2d raycaster version of camera plane

          $begingroup$

          Your event loop looks ill-formed, as it will only process one event per frame. Here's what it probably should look like:



          SDL_Event e;
          while (SDL_PollEvent(&e)) {
          if (e.type == SDL_QUIT) run = false;
          }


          And then change your mainloop to depend on run.

            Your advice is correct. I was scratching my head when you said "change your mainloop" as I only had the one loop. I believe you meant "then add a proper mainloop"? I googled for a proper one, found Lazy Foo: lazyfoo.net/articles/article04/index.php It works now! Thanks for getting me on the right path :)

            Your advice is correct. I was scratching my head when you said "change your mainloop" as I only had the one loop. I believe you meant "then add a proper mainloop"? I googled for a proper one, found Lazy Foo: lazyfoo.net/articles/article04/index.php It works now! Thanks for getting me on the right path :)

          Your event loop looks ill-formed, as it will only process one event per frame. Here's what it probably should look like:



          SDL_Event e;
          while (SDL_PollEvent(&e)) {
          if (e.type == SDL_QUIT) run = false;
          }


          And then change your mainloop to depend on run.
