While trying to build Pixie lisp (https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie), which uses SDL for multimedia output, the mandelbrot example won't build. The problem is that internally pixie uses a templated function to dump a value, and gcc chokes because SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGA8888 is an anonymous enum.
I solved the problem locally by changing from:
enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
};
to:
typedef enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
} SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ENUM;
The net result of this change is that the enum containing SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* is no longer an anonymous enum and can now be used by a templated function.
This local change fixes Pixie lisp for me.
I did notice that you use the idiom
typedef enum {
... etc ...
} SDL_FOO;
elsewhere in your code, so that change to SDL_PIXELFORMAT doesn't look like it would have a negative impact.
