How to convert *mut sdl2_sys::SDL_Event into sdl2::event::Event ?

[TonalidadeHidrica]

I want to receive event callbacks via SDL_AddEventWatch. The callback is provided with *mut sdl2_sys::SDL_Event. I want to convert it to sdl2::event::Event, but unfortunately Event::from_ll is a private function. Is there any other way to convert the raw pointer into Rust enum?

I don't think there is a way yet -- sdl2 is supposed to work with itself first, compatibility with sdl2-sys is a second tier citizen. I think making "from_ll" public in that case can be a good option, there are already other places in the code where it's public because of that.

#1070 introduced a safe wrapper for SDL_AddEventWatch, so I don't need this to be public anymore. If somebody want this in other reason, feel free to reopen it.

I have a use case where I get a raw *mut sdl2_sys::SDL_Event by hooking SDL_PollEvent of an existing program. I would like to convert it to a sdl2::event::Event.

Does anything speak against making the function sdl2::event::Event::from_ll public? It is already done in quite a few other places like sdl2::video::Window::from_ll.

@Gosuo create a new issue for that. There is nothing against putting Event::from_ll public if someone has a use-case for it.
