    Arguments in function

    Heres some objects I have setup in SDL:
    Code:
    SDL_Surface* screen;
    SDL_Surface* tiles;
    SDL_Rect src, dest;
    Heres an example of passing these into a function:
    Code:
    SDL_BlitSurface(tiles , &src , screen , &dest);
    I want to write a function that accepts these arguments, but I'm not sure how to write it.
    As you can see I don't know what to put for the parameters 'src' and 'dest':
    Code:
    DoSomething(SDL_Surface *tiles, src, SDL_Surface *screen, dest)
    Could someone quickly tell me how I should do this? Thanks.

    Looks like SDL_Rect *src and SDL_Rect *dest to me...
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    Yeah, thats what I tried at first but it would not work at the time. I just realized that I declared these:
    Code:
    SDL_Surface* screen;
    SDL_Surface* tiles;
    SDL_Rect src, dest;
    As globals, so I don't even have to pass them in. Maybe that was what caused the problem in the first place. I don't know.

    If they're declared as pointers, then you would need &dst and &src
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
