Title: sf::Sound and sf::Music destroyed while playing
Post by: netrick on February 14, 2013, 09:20:23 pm

What happens if a sf::Sound or sf::Music instace is destroyed while it's playing?
Will it silently stop playing or it will be a crash?

I wonder why you would even want to know this. ;D

The question you should rather ask is: What ugly thing am I doing, that there could ever be the possibility of sf::Sound or sf::Music getting destroyed while playing? ;)

IIRC it will just stop playing. Besides that, it would've been soooo much easier to just simple test it, rather than opening a forum thread and waiting for an answer. ;)

A clean and well defined thing, and hopefully what you would expect: the sound/music stops. A library that crashes in this situation would be very badly designed and/or written.
