NAME¶

Mix_QuickLoad_WAV - Load a WAV file from memory as quickly as possible.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3_mixer/SDL_mixer.h"

Mix_Chunk * Mix_QuickLoad_WAV(Uint8 *mem);

DESCRIPTION¶

Unlike Mix_LoadWAV_IO , this function has several requirements, and unless you control all your audio data and know what you're doing, you should consider this function unsafe and not use it.

• The provided audio data MUST be in Microsoft WAV format.

• The provided audio data shouldn't use any strange WAV extensions.

• The audio data MUST be in the exact same format as the audio device. This
function will not attempt to convert it, or even verify it's in the right
format.

• The audio data must be valid; this function does not know the size of the
memory buffer, so if the WAV data is corrupted, it can read past the end
of the buffer, causing a crash.

• The audio data must live at least as long as the returned

Mix_Chunk , because SDL_mixer will use that data directly and
not make a copy of it.

This function will do NO error checking! Be extremely careful here!

(Seriously, use Mix_LoadWAV_IO
instead.)

If this function is successful, the provided memory buffer must remain available until Mix_FreeChunk () is called on the returned chunk.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

mem

memory buffer containing of a WAV file.

RETURN VALUE¶

( Mix_Chunk
*) Returns a new chunk, or NULL on error.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL_mixer 3.0.0.
