Re: [AD] OS X full screen resize (was Re: Allegro 5 TODOs (from wiki))

For those who like such anecdotes: what actually made me check whether  
this could be a threading issue was a problem I ran into while trying  
to run Allegro 4's exkeys.c through my compatibility wrapper the other  
day. In that example, a timer callback draws to the screen (with a  
comment telling users not to do that). Of course, the timer callback  
is called from another thread and the program crashes when it tries to  
draw to the screen.
On account of not aiming for bug-for-bug and quirk-for-quirk  
compatibility, I'm not even going to try to fix this and will just  
consider the example to be broken.

Out of curiosity though, is there a way to draw to a display from  
another thread in A5?
