- Do not call IDirectInputDevice8_QueryInterface(device, &IID_IDirectInputDevice8,...) on DIRECTINPUTDEVICE8 device
- Get joystick VendorID and ProductID via IDirectInputDevice8_GetProperty(.., DIPROP_VIDPID, ..) call instead of messing with DIDEVICEINSTANCE.guidProduct
- Normalize HID device interface path to upper case for stable operation of XInput check
- Remove useless RawInput calls in SDL_IsXInputDevice() - just check for "IG_" string in HID device interface path that we already have
There shouldn't be any observable behavior changes.
This add controller mappings for the Atari vcs (modern) controller as
well as the classic controller, for both bluetooth and USB connectivity.

At least on bluetooth the guid user the version reported by the
bluetooth device. Which for Atari vcs controllers is the firmware
version. However the mapping will stay the same regardless of firmware
version, so ignore the version entirely to avoid needing a new mapping
entry for each firmware version.

When Xbox One/Series Controllers are connected via USB on Windows they all are using `XBOXGIP` driver and produce a special ProductID `0x02FF` (GIP software PID) for any connected controller.
On the other hand `Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Reciever` (PID 0x0719) is using `XUSB` driver and produces special ProductID `0x02A1` (XUSB software PID) for each connected Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.
Also fixed Xbox One Series X Controller comment.
I have a buggy system which reports a udev "change" event for an empty
USB-C port every 0.14 seconds, which causes annoying frame hitches
because SDL decides that means it needs to do a libusb hid_enumerate,
which is slow (~25ms!) because of the get_usb_string() calls in there.
We only need to re-enumerate if we've seen a device added or removed, so
let's filter out the change event first.

The information whether a specific joystick can be used as a gamepad is
not going to change every frame, so we can cache the result into a
variable.
This dramatically reduces the performance impact of SDL2 on small
embedded devices, since the code path that is now avoided was quite
heavy.
Fixes#4229.

In the extremely unlikely event that inotify is not available (and,
therefore, HAVE_INOTIFY is not #defined), SDL will no-longer build.
This is because <unistd.h> is only included when HAVE_INOTIFY is
defined, and PR #4098 adds a call to access(…, F_OK), which requires
<unistd.h>.
(Note that the F_OK symbol is the only one which actually prevented
SDL from compiling, but both access() and close() fell back to implicit
definitions, which is a bit concerning.)
Fixes: 8d43f45a7b ("Don't use udev for joystick enumeration if running in a container")
If we are running in a container, like Flatpak[1] or pressure-vessel[2],
it's likely that we are using user namespaces,
therefore udev event notification via netlink won't work reliably.
Use their filesystem API to detect them and automatically fallback to
the inotify-based enumeration.

This improves SDL's ability to detect HIDAPI joystick hotplug in a
container environment because we cannot reliably receive events from
udev in a container.

containers, please check the previous commit

As already explained in the previous commit "joystick: Allow libudev to
be disabled at runtime" (13e7d1a9), libudev can fail in a container.
To make it easier to experiment with, we add a new environment variable
"SDL_HIDAPI_JOYSTICK_DISABLE_UDEV" that disables udev and let it
fallback to the device enumeration using polling.

This fixes problems with controllers not being re-detected when a computer goes to sleep and a controller is removed and plugged back in while it's asleep.
There were two different implementations of IsBluetoothXboxOneController(), one
in SDL_hidapi_xbox360.c and one in SDL_hidapi_xboxone.c. The latter had been
updated to include USB_PRODUCT_XBOX_ONE_SERIES_X_BLUETOOTH while the former had
not.
This mismatch led to the Xbox Series X failing on macOS only. We have special
code for handling the 360Controller driver for macOS which requires us to use
the Xbox 360 driver for wired Xbox One controllers, and the SDL_hidapi_xbox360
version of IsBluetoothXboxOneController() was used to determine which devices
were wired.
In addition to adding the missing USB_PRODUCT_XBOX_ONE_SERIES_X_BLUETOOTH, this
change moves IsBluetoothXboxOneController() into a single shared function which
will ensure this bug won't happen again.

New hint to let the user opt out of having Switch controllers' Home button lit when opened.
This is more consistent with the Switch itself (which doesn't light the button normally) and may be preferred by users who may disconnect their controller without letting the application close it.
I think this warrants a Switch-specific hint because the default behaviour is unusual (inconsistent with using a Switch controller on a Switch itself or with some other programs on PC), and because of that it's distinct from other lights (the player number on Switch controllers and the player colour on PlayStation controllers).
Existing SDL applications may not know about the need to set a specific
hint to enable rumble on PS5 controllers, even though they may already
set the equivalent SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4_RUMBLE hint for PS4
controller rumble support.
Rather than requiring those developers update their apps, let's use the
SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4_RUMBLE value as an indication of the behavior
they are expected for all PlayStation controllers.

I'm testing with DualShock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro Controller, and PowerA Switch Controller.
I'm using the standard mapping file from here:
https://raw.github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt
With SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS turned off (set to "0") I expect the button positions to be the same on all devices, based on Xbox controller button naming (eg SDL_GameControllerGetButton(g, SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_Y) gives me whether the North face button is pressed).
However, the Switch Pro Controller layout is wrong (matching labels rather than positions, so X and Y are swapped and A and B are swapped). And with the PowerA controller the East and West buttons are correct, but the North and South buttons are swapped instead.

Also seeing this on 2.0.14. This is most likely a regression, since we weren't seeing this on an earlier SDL version.
I suspect it might be caused by this commit:
a569b21188 (diff-da9344d94c66b8c702a45e7649f412039f08bba83bd82de33f5c80ea9c8c39d5)
It seems like both the HIDAPI driver and SDL_gamecontroller.c will try to swap the buttons if the hint is set to 0, causing the button remap to cancel out.

This is related to Bug 5034, but crashes under a somewhat different condition.
In the latest tip (changeset 13914) or with the SDL 2.0.12 source + David?s 5034 patch, unplugging and then replugging in certain controller types on macOS will crash. A mix of new controllers like Switch Pro, PS4 and Xbox One all work without issue. But if a controller without a rumble function, like many SNES retro USB gamepads, is mixed with a PS4 or Switch Pro controller it will crash.
File: joystick/darwin/SDL_sysjoystick.c
Function: static recDevice *FreeDevice(recDevice *removeDevice)
On line 159: while (device->pNext != removeDevice) {
Causes: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x188)
This can be reproduced in testgamecontroller" by starting the test program with both a ?retro? controller plugged in and a ?modern rumble? controller (Switch Pro/PS4). This may crash on launch, but it depends on which controller ends up as device 0. If it doesn?t crash, unplug the ?modern rumble? controller and plug it back in.
Some of the "retro" controllers I?ve seen this crash with:
- iBuffalo SNES Controller
- 8Bitdo SN30 Gamepad (in MacOS mode)
- Retrolink NES Controller
- HuiJia SNES Controller Adaptor
The issue appears macOS specific. Seen on 10.12.6 and 10.14.6. Not seen on Windows 10.
The while loop in FreeDevice() assumes that every device is not NULL.
recDevice *device = gpDeviceList;
while (device->pNext != removeDevice) {
device = device->pNext;
}
device->pNext = pDeviceNext;
So maybe we should check for NULL here? Or instead prevent adding NULL devices to the list in the first place? Checking device for NULL before entering the loop appears to work.
recDevice *device = gpDeviceList;
if (!device) {
while (device->pNext != removeDevice) {
device = device->pNext;
}
}
device->pNext = pDeviceNext;
Note that axes are changed to match the axes we're using with PlayStation controllers, since users will appreciate consistent behaviour across devices.
i.e. where the string is known guaranteed to be WCHAR*, in:
- SDL_dinputjoystick.c (WIN_IsXInputDevice): VARIANT->var is BSTR (WCHAR*)
- SDL_rawinputjoystick.c (RAWINPUT_AddDevice): string is WCHAR*
- SDL_windows_gaming_input.c (IEventHandler_CRawGameControllerVtbl_InvokeAdded):
string is WCHAR*
There should be more of these..

I added some printf to verify the math being done. Of the three joysticks I have, it works correctly for at least two, and seems to work correctly for the third. I say "seems to" because, for the third joystick, the values never go through the AxisCorrect function, and thus never hit my printf statements, even though they did in the version I wrote my patch against. I'm not sure what's going on there, but it at least seems to be working correctly in as much as I can tell.
I note this result in particular, for an SNES Gamepad (min=0, max=255):
Joystick value 0 becomes -32768
Joystick value 127 becomes 0
Joystick value 255 becomes 32767
Without the code that forces a zero point, the 127 input value would become -129, so I think you see why I added that code to turn it into zero. However, I think Kai Krakow has a point about how SDL shouldn't assume that there should be a center.
Obviously in the majority of cases there actually should be a center, and the code that turns that 127 into an actual 0 is creating only a 0.2% error over 0.4% of this joystick's range. However, what if there is an axis that is some kind of special control, like a 4-position switch, and, for whatever reason, the joystick reports it as an axis with 4 possible values, 0 to 3? In that case, mutilating the two center values to the same value is much more of an error and and turns that 4-position switch into a 3-position switch. If any joystick does this with a 2-position switch, then this code would render that control entirely useless as it would report the same value with the switch in either position. Obviously the code could require that there be at least N possible values, to guess whether something is a proper axis or just some kind of switch, but the choice of N would be arbitrary and that's ugly.
I guess the real problem here is that my gamepad is just kind of broken. It should be reporting a range of -1 to +1 since that's what it actually does. Also, as Kai Krakow points out, it's probably not SDL's place to fix broken hardware. I'll add that, if SDL does fix broken hardware, it should probably actually know that it's broken rather than be merely guessing that it is.
So, to the extent that SDL is able to do stuff like this, perhaps it's something better left for the user to configure in some kind of config file.

It occurred to me that my simple patch that comments out a few lines of code does not correctly remove the dead zone since the calculation presumably assumes the dead zone has been cut out of the range. Then, while looking into how to make it output the correct range of values, I realized SDL wasn't returning the correct range of values to begin with.
This line of code was already present:
printf("Values = { %d, %d, %d, %d, %d }\n", absinfo.value, absinfo.minimum, absinfo.maximum, absinfo.fuzz, absinfo.flat);
For my joystick this yeilds:
Values = { 0, -127, 127, 0, 15 }
Then this code calculates the coefficients:
In SDL1:
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 - absinfo.flat;
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 + absinfo.flat;
t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) / 2 - 2 * absinfo.flat);
if ( t != 0 ) {
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 29) / t;
} else {
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0;
}
In SDL2:
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) - 2 * absinfo.flat;
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) + 2 * absinfo.flat;
t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) - 4 * absinfo.flat);
if (t != 0) {
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 28) / t;
} else {
joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0;
}
Neither calculates the correct coefficients for the code in the AxisCorrect function.
In SDL1:
if ( value > correct->coef[0] ) {
if ( value < correct->coef[1] ) {
return 0;
}
value -= correct->coef[1];
} else {
value -= correct->coef[0];
}
value *= correct->coef[2];
value >>= 14;
In SDL2:
value *= 2;
if (value > correct->coef[0]) {
if (value < correct->coef[1]) {
return 0;
}
value -= correct->coef[1];
} else {
value -= correct->coef[0];
}
In SDL1, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=15, coef[1]=-15 and coef[2]=5534751. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates an output value of 37835, which is considerably out of range.
In SDL2, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=30, coef[1]=-30, and coef[2]=1383687. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates the same output value of 37835.
I tested it with the 3 joysticks I have, and it produces out-of-range values for all of them.
Anyway, since dead zones are garbage, I just deleted all of that junk and wrote some code that takes the absinfo.minimum and absinfo.maximum values and uses them to scale the axis range to -32767 through +32767.
I also made it detect when a range doesn't have an integer center point, e.g. the center of -128 to + 127 is -0.5. In such cases, if either value to the side of the center is provided, it zeros it, but it otherwise doesn't implement any kind of dead zone. This seemed important with my gamepad which provides only the values of 0, 127, and 255, since without this hack it would never be centered.
Also, the previous minimum output value was -32768, but as that creates an output range that has no true center, I changed the minimum value to -32767.
I tested it with the 3 joystick devices I have and it seems to create correct values for all of them.
Added a hint to control whether a separate thread should be used for joystick events.
This is off by default because dispatching messages in other threads appears to cause problems on some versions of Windows.

TLDR; https://godbolt.org/z/43fd8G
Let's deduce this from C++ reference code:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cppcx/wrl/how-to-activate-and-use-a-windows-runtime-component-using-wrl?view=msvc-160
At the bottom of the page there is this snippet:
```
int wmain()
{
/* ... more code ... */
// Get the domain part of the URI.
HString domainName;
hr = uri->get_Domain(domainName.GetAddressOf());
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return PrintError(__LINE__, hr);
}
// Print the domain name and return.
wprintf_s(L"Domain name: %s\n", domainName.GetRawBuffer(nullptr));
// All smart pointers and RAII objects go out of scope here.
}
```
`HString` is defined in `corewrappers.h` and the call chain for the destructor is:
`~HString() -> Release() -> ::WindowsDeleteString()`

Eliminate additional heap allocation for short-lived HSTRINGs.
Uses `WindowsCreateStringReference()` to disable reference counting and memory management by the Window Runtime.
This can happen if the application has not yet processed SDL_JOYDEVICEADD when
the same joystick is removed. It may also happen if two joysticks are added
and the second joystick is removed before the first joystick's SDL_JOYDEVICEADD
has been processed by the application.

Currently the rawinput driver always reports a device as "wired". This changes that to "unknown" and updates it once the device is correlated with xinput.
Most of the raw input events are dispatched in the main windows message loop. We only dispatch device change messages separately when we need them to be completely up to date.

When the hardware calibration fails, values read from sensors need to be multiplied by default sensitivity (16 for gyro, 1 for accelerometer).

When watching for hotplug events we can poll the inotify fd, but we
still need to scan /dev/input once per process, otherwise we'll fail
to detect devices that were already connected.
Flatpak[1] and pressure-vessel[2] are known to use user namespaces,
therefore udev event notification via netlink won't work reliably.
Both frameworks provide a filesystem API that libraries can use to
detect them. Do that, and automatically fall back from udev-based
device discovery to the inotify-based fallback introduced in Bug #5337.

Evdev headers aren't actually included in the base system (well, it has a private copy), they are available through the devel/evdev-proto port instead. We also have devel/libinotify and devel/libudev-devd shims, I didn't verify whether they work with SDL.
This fixes bad report parsing for various newer Xbox controllers, and this driver is now preferred over XInput, since it handles more than 4 controllers.

This patch adds support to the GameController framework on macOS Big Sur and later, adding support for MFi controllers as well as rumble support for PS4 and Xbox One. There is some code to make sure that the IOKit joystick handler doesn't include two controllers at once.
While the GameController framework is present in earlier versions of macOS, there was no public, approved way of checking if a specific IOHIDDevice is a controller that GameController could handle. This was changed in Big Sur.
Added support for the PS4 controller gyro and accelerometer on iOS and HIDAPI drivers
Also fixed an issue with the accelerometer on iOS having inverted axes
