2 all:
Thanks for replies!

I planned to use it to take event handling out from class (and 
put it in another file), but now I see that isn't a good idea.
class App
{
     void updateEvents(SDL_Event event) { ... }
}


By the way, it would be useful if it was written somewhere that 
implementation outside the class is impossible.
