SFC30 controller: http://www.8bitdo.com/sfc30/
The SFC30 controller can present itself in a variety of modes and it offers up
different names in each. This patch captures data for three modes (one USB and
two Bluetooth) on three platforms (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
However, USB mode on Linux and Windows is missing as the button events did not
make it through to SDL's controllermap tool on Fedora 24/Linux 4.5.5 nor Steam
Big Picture mode on Windows. The two Bluetooth modes were indistinguishable on
Windows. Two modes on OS X were indistinguishable.
There exists a similar controller called the SNES30 (And some others) that are
very likely identical except for the name, but I have not verified this yet so
haven't synthesized lines for those controllers until I can.

There are already patches available from mingw64 that fix the issue
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-SDL2
With those applied, I could compile SDL2 without problems. But of course, it would be preferable if SDL built cleanly from source.

The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
Previously when the canvas was scaled up and the pointer was locked,
motion corresponding to less than one pixel was lost. Therefore,
slow mouse motion resulted in no motion. This fixes that.
Browsers don't have the functionality to fully support the generic
SDL_ShowMessageBox(), but this handles the likely most-common case.
Without this, you'd return immediately with a proper error result and no UI,
but probably no one checks that for SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox. And if they
did: what would they do to handle this anyhow?
We'd need to lobby for an HTML spec of some sort that allows customizable
message boxes--that block!--to properly support SDL message boxes on
Emscripten, but this is probably Good Enough for now.
AudioQueues are available in Mac OS X 10.5 and later (and iOS 2.0 and later).
Their API is much more clear (and if you don't mind the threading tapdance
to get its own CFRunLoop) much easier to use in general for our purposes.
As an added benefit: they seemlessly deal with format conversion in ways
AudioUnits don't: for example, my MacBook Pro's built-in microphone won't
capture at 8000Hz and the AudioUnit version wouldn't resample to hide this
fact; the AudioQueue version, however, can handle this.
Generate the C protocol files from the protocol XML files installed by
wayland-protocols, and use them to implement support for relative pointer
motions and pointer locking.
Note that at the time, the protocol is unstable and may change in the future.
Any future breaking changes will, however, fail gracefully and result in no
regressions compared to before this patch.
Since we are loading shared objects dynamically, build our own version of the
core protocol symbols, so that we in the future can include protocol
extensions.
This will be used by Wayland compositors to match the application ID and
.desktop file to the SDL window(s).
Applications can set the SDL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_WMCLASS environemnt variable
early in the process to override using the binary name as a fallback.
Note that we also support the SDL_VIDEO_X11_WMCLASS in the Wayland
backend so that if a program correctly associated the desktop file with
the window under X11, only a newer SDL would be needed for it to work
under Wayland.

bugfix for controller / joystick add / remove being in the event queue at the same time
The repro steps were this:
1. run an sdl2 winrt/uwp app, on Win10, v10.0.10586.0 or higher
2. hide the cursor, via a call to SDL_ShowCursor(0)
3. make the Win10 game bar appear, by pressing the Windows + G hotkey
4. observe that the mouse cursor appears, in order to interact with the
game bar (this is expected behavior)
5. make the Win10 game bar disappear, either by pressing the Windows + G hotkey
again, or clicking somewhere in the app
EXPECTED RESULT: cursor disappears, as game bar disappears
ACTUAL RESULT: cursor didn't always disappear
Moved this code from winmm into core so both can use it.
DirectSound (at least on Win10) also returns truncated device names, even
though it's handed in as a string pointer and not a static-sized buffer. :/
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607) breaks the method uses that SDL uses to
detect XInput devices. That is, on Windows 10 Anniversary Update, it is no longer
possible to query RAWINPUT for HID devices, and check for "IG_" in the device name.
Presumably, this will be fixed in the future.
This patch works around the issue by adding the Xbox One controller series to the
well-known device list.
This skips the more expensive RAWINPUT check for those devices, and causes them to
be detected as XInput devices once again.
Otherwise, if you had a massive, one-time queue buildup, the memory from that
remains allocated until you close the device. Also, if you are just using a
reasonable amount of space, this would previously cause you to reallocate it
over and over instead of keeping a little bit of memory around.
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
- It's now always called if device->hidden isn't NULL, even if OpenDevice()
failed halfway through. This lets implementation code not have to clean up
itself on every possible failure point; just return an error and SDL will
handle it for you.
- Implementations can assume this->hidden != NULL and not check for it.
- implementations don't have to set this->hidden = NULL when done, because
the caller is always about to free(this).
- Don't reset other fields that are in a block of memory about to be free()'d.
- Implementations all now free things like internal mix buffers last, after
closing devices and such, to guarantee they definitely aren't in use anymore
at the point of deallocation.
Turns out that libartsc isn't thread-safe, so if we run a capture and playback
device at the same time, it often crashes in arts's internal event loop.
We could throw mutexes around the read/write calls, but these are meant to
block, so one device could cause serious latency and stutter in the other.
Since this audio target isn't in high-demand (Ubuntu hasn't offered a libartsc
package for years), I'm just backing out the capture support. If someone needs
it, they can pull it out of the revision history.
(We probably never noticed because this is meant to block until it fully
writes a buffer, and would only trigger an issue if we had a short write
that wasn't otherwise an error condition.)
This workaround, unfortunately, requires that apps directly link to a set of
Win32-style cursor resource files (that contain a transparent cursor image).
Copies of suitable resource files are in src/core/winrt/, and should be
included directly in an app's MSVC project.
A rough explanation of this workaround/hack, and why it's needed (and
seemingly can't be done through programmatic means), is in this change's code.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.
Win10's 'GamepadAdded' event seems to need to have something registered with it
in order for Xinput-based gamepad detection to work. This 'fix' simply causes
a dummy event-handler to be added for this event, in case an app wants to use
gamepads on Xbox One (most likely).
This is kind of nasty, because ALSA reports dozens of "devices" that aren't
really things you'd ever want, or things that should be listed this way, but
the default path still works as before, and it at least allows these devices
to be available to apps.
This does not handle hotplugging yet. You get a device list at init time
and that's it.
- Cache the _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS data locally, so we don't have to query
the X server for them (instead, we update our cached data when PropertyNotify
events alert us to a change).
- Use our cached extents for X11_GetWindowBordersSize(), so it's a fast call.
- Window position was meant to refer to the client area, not the window
decorations, so adjust appropriately when getting/setting the position.
We now only raise the magic exception that names the thread when
IsDebuggerPresent() returns true. In such a case, Visual Studio will
catch the exception, set the thread name, and let the debugged process
continue normally. If the debugger isn't running, we don't raise an exception
at all.
Setting the name is a debugger trick; if the debugger isn't running, the name
won't be set if attached later in any case, so this doesn't lose functionality.
This lets this code work without assembly code, on win32 and win64, and
across various compilers.
The only "gotcha" is that if you have something attached that looks like a
debugger but doesn't respect this magic exception trick, the process will
likely crash, but that's probably a deficiency of the attached program.
Fixes Bugzilla #2089.
The returned value is currently not used by the caller. The instance id would
also not be needed on Java side and providing it just complicated the function.
Partially fixes Bugzilla #3234.
This assert triggers when run under XMonad. It's safe to pass a zero here
anyhow, as this will still work "well enough" and the original
problem--GNOME printing a warning message--is still fixed because GNOME's
window manager gives us a chance to grab a non-zero user-time value before
this code is run.
(and thanks to Cengiz for many of the previous Unreal-related
patches! They were generically credited to Epic Games, but a large
amount of that work was his contribution.)
Fixes Bugzilla #3067.
This is for corner cases where a multi-window app is activated and wants to
make a decision about where focus should go.
This patch came from Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL, compliments of Epic Games.

When setting a texture alpha mod other than 255 and also specifying a flip mode in the software renderer, the rendering fails. When the texture has an alpha channel, it becomes invisible when flipped. When the texture does not have an alpha channel, it is flipped but the colors are wrong: the alpha mod makes the texture darker rather than more translucent.
0) Initialize a software renderer.
1) Load 16-bit 565 or 32-bit texture.
2) Set texture blend mode to BLEND.
3) Set texture alpha mod to 150.
4) Draw the texture flipped horizontally and/or vertically.
Adam M.
There are three problems in the code that I see.
1. SW_RenderCopyEx enables a color key on surface_scaled even if the source surface didn't have a color key.
2. SW_RenderCopyEx doesn't copy blend mode, color mod, or alpha mod from src to surface_scaled.
3. When SDL_BlitScaled(src, srcrect, surface_scaled, &tmp_rect) is called, it blends the src pixels into surface_scaled instead of overwriting them (if src has blending, etc. enabled).
I've attached a patch that 1) fixes the three problems that I mentioned, 2) adds the requested performance improvement of using the regular blit function if no rotation or flipping is needed, 3) avoids cloning the source surface if no stretching is required, and simplifies the rotation code slightly.
Adam M.
Okay, here is the problem, I think.
During the first blit, RLEAlphaSurface is called to do RLE conversion of the RGBA source into a format allowing it "to be quickly alpha-blittable onto dest". Since the destination is the screen, it has no alpha channel. RLEAlphaSurface calls copy_opaque(dst, src + runstart, len, sf, df) (where copy_opaque is copy_32), which has this code:
SDL_RLEaccel.c:984:
RGBA_FROM_8888(*src, sfmt, r, g, b, a);
PIXEL_FROM_RGBA(*d, dfmt, r, g, b, a);
On the first line, it reads the source pixel 0xFFFFFFFF. The second line drops the alpha value (because dfmt for the screen has no alpha channel) and writes 0x00FFFFFF. Later, when the RLE conversion is being undone, uncopy_32 is called, which has the following code:
SDL_RLEaccel.c:1001:
Uint32 pixel = *s++;
RGB_FROM_PIXEL(pixel, sfmt, r, g, b);
a = pixel >> 24;
PIXEL_FROM_RGBA(*dst, dfmt, r, g, b, a);
However, the the alpha channel has already been dropped by copy_opaque (= copy_32), so pixel = 0x00FFFFFF and 'a' becomes 0. Thus, all opaque pixels lose their alpha channel when being unRLE'd. (I don't know what happens to pixels with alpha from 1-254, but they should be checked too.)
So, that seems to be the problem, but I'm not sure what the solution should be. Since opaque pixels have alpha == 255, I'm thinking to create another uncopy function for opaque pixels that simply uses 255 for alpha.
However, there may be other problems here. For translucent pixels, uncopy_32 assumes the alpha channel is stored in the upper 8 bits, but copy_32 doesn't store it there. Instead, it stores it in whatever location is appropriate for the destination surface. Isn't one of their behaviors incorrect, given the other? I'm not sure which to change, however.
For translucent pixels, it seems that the blit function uses do_blend, which is the BLIT_TRANSL_888 macro, which also assumes alpha is in top 8 bits. It has the comment "we have made sure the alpha is stored in the top 8 bits...", but it seems that's not true (copy_32 doesn't make sure the alpha goes there).
Perhaps the correct fix is to make copy_32 put the alpha there, but then that seems to require that RLE conversion be limited to destination surfaces that don't use the upper 8 bits. However, looking further, it seems that has already been done: if (masksum != 0x00ffffff) return -1; /* requires unused high byte */

When using API 21 and running on an old device (android < 5.0 ?) some function are missing.
functions are (at least) : signal, sigemptyset, atof, stpcpy (strcat and strcpy), srand, rand.
Very few modifications on SDL to get this working :

Undefine android configuration :
HAVE_SIGNAL
HAVE_SIGACTION
HAVE_ATOF
In "SDL_systrhead.c", comment out the few block of lines with "sigemptyset".

int SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK Constant Value: 16 (0x00000010)
int SOURCE_JOYSTICK Constant Value: 16777232 (0x01000010)
int SOURCE_KEYBOARD Constant Value: 257 (0x00000101)
int SOURCE_GAMEPAD Constant Value: 1025 (0x00000401)
int SOURCE_DPAD Constant Value: 513 (0x00000201)
I have an a PC keyboard that I connect to an android device.
The issue is that "arrow" keys gets lost.
More explanation:
This device gets detected twice by the java "pollInputDevices()" both as SOURCE_KEYBOARD and as a composite (0x1000311 == SOURCE_JOYSTICK | SOURCE_KEYBOARD | SOURCE_DPAD).
Because of being a SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK, only the second entry is registered, and I opened it.
When I press one arrow key, the java method "onKey(...)" is called.
The Source "event.getSource()" is "SOURCE_KEYBOARD", so it enters this conditions :
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_GAMEPAD) != 0 ||
(event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_DPAD) != 0 ) {
And then, it enters :
SDLActivity.onNativePadDown() (native code in "SDL_sysjoystick.c")
Since the "arrows" are viewed as "D-PAD", it gets translated :
int button = keycode_to_SDL(keycode);
But the android-java "event.getDeviceId()" is wrong: this is the one from the Keyboard, and not the one from the Joystick that I have opened.
So I don't get them through the Joystick interface.
And since, the keycode has been translated, it returns 0 and assume it was consumed.
So I lost the key in the function "Android_OnPadDown()"
Notice, It won't happen with other normal "letters" keys because they does not get translated by "keycode_to_SDL", so "Android_OnPadDown()" returns -1.
And then java code send the keys to "SDLActivity.onNativeKeyDown()".
Possible patch on "Android_OnPadDown" and also "Android_OnPadUp" (and maybe other functons):
85 int
186 Android_OnPadDown(int device_id, int keycode)
187 {
188 SDL_joylist_item *item;
189 int button = keycode_to_SDL(keycode);
190 if (button >= 0) {
191 item = JoystickByDeviceId(device_id);
192 if (item && item->joystick) {
193 SDL_PrivateJoystickButton(item->joystick, button , SDL_PRESSED);
194 }
+ else return -1;
195 return 0;
196 }
197
198 return -1;
199 }
It would allow the java caller function to send the key to "SDLActivity.onNativeKeyDown();"
Another solution, would be to replace:
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_GAMEPAD) != 0 ||
(event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_DPAD) != 0 ) {
by
if ( (event.getSource() & InputDevice.SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK) != 0)
Because only "SOURCE_CLASS_JOYSTICK" devices are registered/opened.

Not sure - but I think there might be a logic flaw in SDL_SetWindowGrab.
The problem here is that this modifies the window flags and e.g. sets
SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED - but the _this->grabbed_window pointer is not
yet set.
Then in SDL_UpdateWindowGrab the _this->grabbed_window pointer is only
set if the function pointer _this->SetWindowGrab is not NULL. But if
this is NULL, the _this->grabbed_window pointer is never set, but every
future call to any of the grab functions include an assert for:
SDL_assert(!_this->grabbed_window || ((_this->grabbed_window->flags &
SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED) != 0));
That means the first call works, the second always fails and triggers
the assert.

This causes issues when for instance using the joystick API to make an Android phone rotate an object by rotating the phone. When the absolute value of an axis reported by android is larger than earth gravity, SDL will overflow the Sint16 value used for joystick axes, causing sporadic movements when close to the gravity. Just holding the phone so that e.g. Y points directly upwards will make it unstable, and even more if you just tap the phone gently from below (increasing the acceleration).
More detailed: SDLActivity gets the accelerometer values in onSensorChanged and divides each axis by earth gravity. SDL_SYS_JoystickUpdate takes each of the axis values, multiplies them by 32767.0 (largest Sint16), and the casts them to Sint16. From this you can see that any value from Android that exceeds earth gravity will overflow the joystick axis.
A fix is to clamp the values so that they won't overflow the Sint16.

My build system still shows warning as errors.
The first warning says that the member named instances can never be false (or NULL) as it is a static array, and we should check for instances[index] which we do anyway.

pthread/SDL_syssem.c requires _GNU_SOURCE predefined (like SDL_sysmutex.c),
otherwise sem_timedwait() prototype might not be available to it. Problem
seen with glibc-2.3.4.
If the allocation of an SDL_Touch failed, the number of touch devices was still
increased. Later access of the SDL_Touch would then have dereferenced the NULL.

This is a regression. The changes to fix#2460 cause the EnumJoysticksCallback() function to return without adding devices (Line 345 in SDL-0a2b6bc7005f\src\joystick\windows\SDL_dinputjoystick.c).
Looking at dinput.h on my system, at least DI8DEVTYPE_DRIVING and DI8DEVTYPE_FLIGHT need to be added to the test.
It might be better to check if (devtype == DI8DEVTYPE_SUPPLEMENTAL) rather than checking if it is NOT EQUAL to a long list of types. Or check if the device is already in the list.
This happens when the pointer is grabbed, but it's not clear if this is a
bug in x.org or my misunderstanding of the XGrabPointer() documentation.
At any rate, we'll want to revisit this later for a better solution.
Fixes Bugzilla #2963.
Make note to send it, and send next time we SDL_PumpEvents().
Otherwise, we might be trying to use malloc() to push a new event on the
queue while a signal is interrupting malloc() elsewhere, usually causing a
crash.
Fixes Bugzilla #2870.
This was the only thing that made SDL_config.h generate differently between
32 and 64-bit versions of Linux, so instead we force a function cast in our
X11 code to match our dynamic loader version, which removes the compile error
on some machines that prompted this test in the first place.
Xlib never wrote to this data, so if you're on an older Xlib where this param
wasn't const, your data should still be intact when we force the caller to
think it was actually const after all.
Fixes Bugzilla #1893.
Fixes Bugzilla #2895.
His notes:
The following trivial changes make SDL2 tree (mostly) compatible with Visual
Studio 2005:
* SDL_stdlib.c: Similar to VS2010 and newer, VS2005 also generates memcpy(),
(it also generates memset(), see below), so propagate the #if condition to
cover VS2005.
* SDL_pixels.c (SDL_CalculateGammaRamp): VS2005 generates a memset() call for
gamma==0 case, so replace the if loop with SDL_memset().
* SDL_windowsvideo.h: Include msctf.h only with VS2008 and newer, otherwise
include SDL_msctf.h
* SDL_windowskeyboard.c: Adjust the #ifdefs so that SDL_msctf.h inclusion is
always recognized correctly.
Fixes Google Chrome, etc, freezing up when SDL owns the clipboard selection
and actually sends thems the correct text for pasting. Confirmed working with
Unicode strings in UTF-8 format.
There were a few tweaks in this patch, but the specific fix is that
event.xselection.target in the SelectionNotify event we send back in reply
must be set to the same atom as the request ("TARGETS" in this case), and
we failed to do that in this special case. Things that don't ask for a target,
like the Gnome Terminal app, worked fine because they don't ask for TARGETS
and just go right to asking for a UTF8_STRING, and Mozilla apparently just
was more liberal in what they accepted in reply.
Chrome would reject our wrong reply and freeze up waiting for a valid one.
Someone should fix that in Chrome, too. :)
Fixes Bugzilla #2926.

I have debugged the code checking the function calls when Direct3D is the renderer, remember that with software and OpenGL renderers, this issue is not happening.
- Create the texture:
SDL_Texture *pTex = SDL_CreateTexture(pRenderer, iFormat, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, pSurf->w, pSurf->h);
- Update the texture:
SDL_UpdateTexture(pTex, NULL, pSurf->pixels, pSurf->pitch);
SDL_render.c, SDL_UpdateTexture(): return renderer->UpdateTexture(renderer, texture, rect, pixels, pitch);
SDL_render_d3d.c, D3D_UpdateTexture(): if (D3D_UpdateTextureRep(data->device, &texturedata->texture, texture->format, rect->x, rect->y, rect->w, rect->h, pixels, pitch) < 0) {
SDL_render_d3d.c, D3D_UpdateTextureRep(): if (D3D_CreateStagingTexture(device, texture) < 0) {
SDL_render_d3d.c, D3D_CreateStagingTexture(): result = IDirect3DDevice9_CreateTexture(..., D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM, ...) --> FAIL! with INVALIDCALL code
After checking a bit the Microsoft documentation, I found this:
D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET can only be used with D3DPOOL_DEFAULT. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb172625%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
The call that fails, is using D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET with D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM which is unsupported, hence the INVALIDCALL return code.
The window needs to catch ClientMessage events for one specific window, but
XNextEvent() catches everything, and XWindowEvent doesn't catch ClientMessage,
so we need predicate procedure and XIfEvent() here.
Fixes Bugzilla #2980.
These events accidentally slipping in sometimes appears to be a bug (or
maybe new behavior) in 10.10, as previous versions of Mac OS X don't appear
to ever trigger this.
Thanks to Paulo Marques for pointing out the fix on the SDL mailing list!
Fixes Bugzilla #2842 (again).

The change to the keymap to use SDL_SCANCODE_TO_KEYCODE in SDL_x11keyboard.c causes all SDL scancodes without a Usc4 character to be XOR'd with SDLK_SCANCODE_MASK, but not all key code are suppose to be (as seen in include/SDL_keycodes.h). SDLK_BACKSPACE is not 0x4000002A.
I think the full list of keys affected are return, escape, backspace, tab, and delete.

The "Unknown touch device" message appears because the initial touch device setup loop uses SDL_GetTouch() as a guard for calling SDL_AddTouch(). SDL_GetTouch() will always report "Unknown touch device" since the device hasn't been added yet. The SDL_GetTouch() call is unnecessary since SDL_AddTouch() calls SDL_GetTouchIndex() to verify that the device hasn't been added yet, and SDL_GetTouchIndex() has the benefit of not reporting an error for a device it can't find.

If a user has a non-standard keyboard mapping -- say, their caps lock key has been mapped to Ctrl -- then SDL_GetModState() is no longer accurate: it only considers the unmapped keys. This is a regression from SDL 1.2.
I think there are two parts to this bug: first, GetModState should use keycodes, rather than scancodes, which is easy enough.
Unfortunately, on my system, SDL considers Caps Lock, even when mapped as Control, to be both SDL_SCANCODE_CAPSLOCK and SDLK_CAPSLOCK. The output from checkkeys for it is:
INFO: Key pressed : scancode 57 = CapsLock, keycode 0x40000039 = CapsLock modifiers: CAPS
Whereas the output for xev is:
KeyPress event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
root 0x9a, subw 0x0, time 40218333, (144,177), root:(1458,222),
state 0x10, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
I think the problem is that X11_UpdateKeymap in SDL_x11keyboard.c only builds a mapping for keycodes associated with a Unicode character (anything where X11_KeyCodeToUcs returns a value). In the case of caps lock, SDL scancode 57 becomes x11 keycode 66, which becomes x11 keysym 65507(Control_L), which does not have a unicode value.
To fix this, I suspect that SDL needs a mapping of the rest of the x11 keysyms to their corresponding SDL key codes.

Overview:
Initializing the Video Subsystem causes many errors though everything works as it should.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set Loglevel to SDL_LOG_PRIORITY_ERROR
2) Initialize the Video Subsystem (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO))
Actual Results:
Many errors (see attachment) are printed on stderr, then the application continues as expected.
Expected Results:
The errors should have been warnings at most.

I have two windows where one has a renderer where the logical size has been changed with SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize. When I get SDL_MOUSEMOTION events belonging to the non-scaled window these will have been scaled with the factor of the scaled window, which is not expected.
Adding some printf debugging to SDL_RendererEventWatch of SDL_render.c, where (event->type == SDL_MOUSEMOTION), I found that for every mouse motion SDL_RendererEventWatch is called twice and the event->motion.x and event.motion.y are set twice for the event, once for each renderer where only the last one set will be saved to the event struct. This will work fine if both renderers have the same scale, but otherwise the motion coordinates will be scaled for the renderer belonging to another window than the mouse was moved in.
I guess one solution would be to check that window == renderer->window for SDL_MOUSEMOTION events, similar to what is done for when SDL_WINDOWEVENT events.
I get the same error on both X11 and Windows.
The same problem also exists for SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP events.
Apparently you might get strange paths from GetModuleFileName(), such as
short path names or UNC filenames, so this avoids that problem. Since you have
to tapdance with linking different libraries and defining macros depending on
what Windows you plan to target, we dynamically load the API we need, which
works on all versions of Windows (on Win7, it'll load a compatibility wrapper
for the newer API location).
What a mess.
This also now does the right thing if there isn't enough space to store the
path, looping with a larger allocated buffer each try.
Fixes Bugzilla #2435.

Currently the keymapnotify event handling is commented out as FIXME in SDL_x11events.c (It looks like this may have functioned SDL1.2).
Not handling this event means that if a window manager shortcut such as ALT+SPACE is used, SDL will send an ALT key down signal, but not an up signal. Also querying SDL about the key state, it believes the ALT key remains pressed.
X passes the events keypress (alt), ?focusout?, ?focusin?, keymapnotify.
This lets windows know when they are dropping a mouse event because their
hit test reported something other than SDL_HITTEST_NORMAL. It lets them know
exactly where in the event queue this happened.

This is currently implemented for X11, Cocoa, Windows, and DirectFB.
This patch is based on work in Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL,
compliments of Epic Games.
This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.
Specifically: always on top, skip taskbar, tooltip, utility, and popup menu.
This is currently only implemented for X11.
This patch is based on work in Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL,

Notably: it sets the error string to inform you that your custom SDL is built
without xrandr support, which apparently has been a support issue for
Unreal Engine 4 developers.
This is often useful for SDL apps that aren't meant to be games: the
integrated GPU starts up faster, uses less power, and is often more than
fast enough.
Note that even with this change, the app will still default to the more
powerful, discrete GPU if one is available; an app that prefers the integrated
GPU will still need the NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching key properly
set in its Info.plist and Mac OS X 10.7 or later.

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/2kzt1wy3%28v=vs.120%29.aspx when one is using /MT for msvc compilations the libcmt.lib is already linked to the binary. This lib includes the symbol that is now guarded (see attached patch) by the #ifndef _MT.
I don't know if any joysticks report those usages for any buttons in practice, but other prominent Mac gaming software exposes them, so we might as well too.
xaudio2 is not linked against sdl but the sdk already handles dynamically loading (XAudio2Create is inlined and just loads a com object). Updated SDL_xaudio2.c
DXGI fails to report any displays in at least one of the
"Windows App Certification Kit 10.0"'s tests for Store Apps. This was
causing SDL's video initialization code to fail, when the suspect test
("Direct3D Feature Test") was run, as DXGI was unable to report a
display-output at adapter-index 0, output-index 0.
The workaround that is applied here attempts to detect this case, then
use a hopefully-reasonable alternative means to calculate at least one
display output.
"UWP" appears to be Microsoft's new name for WinRT/Windows-Store APIs.
This set of changes updates SDL's WinRT backends to support the Win10 flavor
of WinRT. It has been tested on Win10 on a desktop. In theory, it should
also support Win10 on other devices (phone, Xbox One, etc.), however further
patches may be necessary.
This adds:
- a set of MSVC 2015 project files, for use in creating UWP apps
- modifications to various pieces of SDL, in order to compile via MSVC 2015 +
the Win10 API set
- enables SDL_Window resizing and programmatic-fullscreen toggling, when using
the WinRT backend
- WinRT README updates
WinRT 8.0 (Phone and non-Phone) didn't offer an API to set an already-created
thread's priority. WinRT 8.1 offered this API, along with several other
Win32 thread functions that were previously unavailable (in WinRT).
This change makes WinRT 8.1+ platforms use SDL's Win32 backend.
This change-set fixes a lot of windowing related bugs, especially with
regards to Windows 8.x apps running on Windows 10 (which was the driver for
this work). The primary fixes include:
* listed display modes were wrong, especially when launching apps into a
non-fullscreen space
* reported window flags were often wrong, especially on Windows 10
* fullscreen/windowed mode switches weren't failing (they are not
programmatically possible in Win 8.x apps).
This change has also been tested as buildable + runnable on Win32 + MSVC 2015,
2013, 2012, and 2010. It may fix similar build errors (in XInput code) that
are appearing in MingW builds (on buildbot).
They were not needed internally since the switch to the common EGL backend.
Thanks to the SDL mailing list for pointing out that the functions seem unused.
The Y coordinate is flipped in Cocoa, so if you change the height, the window
will move and maybe clip against the screen edge if you don't adjust its Y
coordinate to match.
Possibly fixes Bugzilla #3066.
Unity's window manager is (legitimately, since it moves the client window's
position) sending one, and SDL was incorrectly trying to mask it out. Other
window managers (KWin, apparently) don't move the window and would hang here
indefinitely.
Fixes Bugzilla #3052.

Just a minor thing, but a huge outcome. All the other jni related functions already have those flags, but the nativeInit function lacks them - so it might be stripped away.
In extremely rare cases, probably due to misconfigured drivers, one might
see this happen, and rather than terminate the process, we try to recover
by reporting an error to the app.
Fixes Bugzilla #3068.
Note that extra steps must be taken when using glReadPixels to read the contents of the main OpenGL ES framebuffer on iOS, if multisampling is used. See the OpenGL ES section of README-ios.md for details.
There are platforms it isn't implemented on (and currently can't be
implemented on!), and there's currently no way for an app to know this.
This shouldn't break ABI on apps that moved to a revision between 2.0.3 and
2.0.4.
This relies on a successful SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) to work, since it's
silly to reproduce all the Xinerama/XRandR code in the message box parts. If
X11 is available but SDL hasn't been initialized, the message box will center
in the primary screen, which will be positioned weirdly on multi-head setups,
but this should fix the most significant common case.

When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
- disable compiling in XAudio2 support. We both need the DX SDK to make this code plus we need to work out the runtime dependency problem this code bring in on windows (needing the DX runtime installed).

- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

It loses the title and icon when window recreation fails. For instance, this may happen when trying to create an OpenGL ES window on a system that doesn't support it. But at that point, the title and icon have already been lost.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
If SDL_SaveBMP_RW() was called with NULL passed as SDL_RWops argument, different
values were returned depending on SDL_GetError(). If no error was set before the
call (or SDL_ClearError() was called) then 0 was returned. This is wrong because
nothing was saved. If an error was set before the call then -1 was returned.
This was fixed by directly returning -1 for NULL input instead of deciding based
on SDL_GetError(). No new error is set because this would otherwise override a
maybe more useful error set in SDL_RWFromFile() which is used by SDL_SaveBMP().
This is a Win32-specific fix for bug 2726. A WinRT fix for this bug was applied
separately, via https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/91f56dcad879
This fix applies SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID to 'mouse' events coming from touch devices,
but only when relative-mouse-mode is turned OFF. This bug is still present
when relative-mouse-mode is ON, however Microsoft does not provide documentation
on whether or not those input events (which come from WM_INPUT) can be
identified as touch-specific or not. Unofficially, that data might be available
(via GetMessageExtraInfo()), however this patch only uses MS-documented APIs.

Using X11 (on Debian Wheezy), SDL_GetModState() & KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS are not set to system state (numlock/capslock LEDs). Pressing numlock or capslock toggles the mod state, though if num/caps lock is enabled before starting the program it's still reversed from system state. This makes getting KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS in programs unreliable. This can be seen using the checkkeys test program.
The function that appears to have handle this in SDL 1.2 is X11_SetKeyboardState. The function call is commented out with "FIXME:" in SDL 2.
Using Windows backend through WINE; on first key press if numlock and/or capslock is enabled on system, numlock/capslock SDL_SendKeyboardKey is run and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS to the correct state. On X11 this does not happen.
The attached patch makes X11 backend set keyboard state on window focus if no window was previously focused. It sets all keys to system up/down state and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS via SDL_SendKeyboardKey to match system if needed. The patch is based on SDL 1.2's X11_SetKeyboardState.

Upon creating a window, a window property is added to it through the Win32-function "SetProp". This is done in the SDL-function "SetupWindowData" in file "src\video\windows\SDL_windowswindow.c".
Whenever you call "SetProp" to add a property to a Win32-window, you should also call the Win32-function "RemoveProp" to remove it before destroying that Win32-window.
While you might think that it's ok and that Windows will clean up nicely itself, it is not ok. It is against all Win32-API guidelines and is mostlikely a leak. Especially on external windows (CreateWindowFrom) you want to have things done right, not messy and leaky, affecting some other module. Even if SDL gets shutdown entirely that external window will now forever still have the "SDL_WindowData" prop attached to it.
The backing scale factor can change when the window moves between retina and non-retina displays.
The only other way to detect such a change is to compare the output of SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize or SDL_GetRendererOutputSize every frame, which is less than desirable, especially since the necessary app logic is likely already being executed when a window resize event is received.
This lets SDL-based apps respond to "Open With" commands properly, as they
can now obtain the requested path via a standard SDL dropfile event.
This is only checked on startup, so apps don't get drop events at any other
time, even if Android supports that, but this is still a definite
improvement.
Fixes Bugzilla #2762.
This apparently has fallout: the PS4 (and maybe PS3?) controllers apparently
report some bogus axes, but it won't change the axes we currently expect, and
thus the game controller config string is still stable.
Fixes Bugzilla #2719.
Since all device detection/removal happens on the main thread now, post events inline with when the status changes occur.
Also fixed rare cases when joystick API functions could return data about removed joysticks when called with a device index.

The optimization from Bug 11 added a code branch on cases where the source RGB masks match the destination RGB masks and a optimized blit function Blit4to4MaskAlpha that always overrides the source alpha info would be chosen. Unfortunately, the branch also errorneously took over the RGBA<->RGBA blitting cases where the source alpha info should be copied, while they would instead get overriden in Blit4to4MaskAlpha.
The attached patch fixes that by handling the RGBA<->RGBA cases correctly in that branch with the original BlitNtoNCopyAlpha as well as uses an optimized Blit4to4CopyAlpha along the same vein.
The expected use case is for games that are designed with multiple aspect ratios already in mind and leave optional margins on the edges of the game which won't hurt if they are cut off.
An example use case is a game is designed for wide-screen/16:9, but then wants to deploy on an iPad which is 4:3. Normally, SDL will letterbox, which will shrink things and result in wasted space. But the designer already thought about 4:3 and designed the edges of the game so they could be cut off without any functional loss. So rather than wasting space with letterboxing, "overscan" mode will zoom the rendering to fill up the entire screen. Parts on the edges will be drawn offscreen, but since the game was already designed with this in mind, it is fine. The end result is the iPad (4:3) experience is much better since it feels like a game designed for that screen aspect ratio.
This patch introduces a new SDL_hint: SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE.
Valid values are "letterbox" or "0" for letterboxing and "overscan" or "1" for overscan.
The default mode is letterbox to preserve existing behavior.
// Example usage:
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE, "overscan");
SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(renderer, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);

Remove the dependency of the calculation of Linux "phase" on "period",
currently the "phase" parameter is interpreted as a time shift, instead of a phase shift.
The Linux input documentation is not clear about the exact units of the "phase" parameter (see http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/uapi/linux/input.h?v=3.17#L1075 ),
but we're about to standardize the 'phase shift' interpretation into the Linux input documentation,
since this will ease the job of a driver to recalculate the effect's state when the user dynamically updates the "period" parameter.

It's not obvious from the general "haptic direction" description what the SDL direction actually means in terms of force magnitude sign,
currently its meaning is only reflected by the example.
This change does a few things, all with regards to the WinRT implementation of
SDL_GetPrefPath():
1. it fixes a bug whereby SDL_GetPrefPath() did not create the directory it
returned. On other SDL platforms, SDL_GetPrefPath() will create separate
directories for its 'org' and 'app' folders. Without this, attempts to create
files in the pref-path would fail, unless those directories were first created
by the app, or by some other library the app used. This change makes sure
that these directories get created, before SDL_GetPrefPath() returns to its
caller(s).
2. it defaults to having SDL_GetPrefPath() return a WinRT 'Local' folder
on all platforms. Previously, for Windows Store apps, it would have used a
different, 'Roaming' folder. Files in Roaming folders can be automatically,
and synchronized across multiple devices by Windows. This synchronization can
happen while the app runs, with new files being copied into a running app's
pref-path. Unless an app is specifically designed to handle this scenario,
there is a chance that save-data could be overwritten in unwanted or
unexpected ways.
The default is now to use a Local folder, which does not get synchronized, and
which is arguably a bit safer to use. Apps that wish to use Roaming folders
can do so by setting SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "roaming", however it
is recommended that one first read Microsoft's documentation for Roaming
files, a link to which is provided in README-winrt.md.
To preserve older pref-path selection behavior (found in SDL 2.0.3, as well as
many pre-2.0.4 versions of SDL from hg.libsdl.org), which uses a Roaming path
in Windows Store apps, and a Local path in Windows Phone, set
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "old".
Please note that Roaming paths are not supported on Windows Phone 8.0, due to
limitations in the OS itself. Attempts to use this will fail.
(Windows Phone 8.1 does not have this limitation, however.)
3. It makes SDL_GetPrefPath(), when on Windows Phone 8.0, and when
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT is set to "roaming", return NULL, rather than
silently defaulting to a Local path (then switching to a Roaming path if and
when the user upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1).

src/main/windows/SDL_windows_main.c:137:
cmdline = SDL_iconv_string("UTF-8", "UCS-2-INTERNAL", (char *)(text), (SDL_wcslen(text)+1)*sizeof(WCHAR));
I'm trying to compile an SDL2 application for windows using the mingw-w64 32bit toolchain provided by my distro (Fedora 19). However, even the simplest test program that does nothing at all fails to startup with a "Fatal error - out of memory" message because the mingw iconv library provided by my distro does not support the "UCS-2-INTERNAL" encoding and the conversion returns null.
From my little bit of research, it turns out that even though this encoding is supported by the external GNU libiconv library, some glibc versions (?) don't support it with their internal iconv routines, and will instead provide the native endian encoding when "UCS-2" is specified.
Nonetheless, I wonder why the native endianness is considered in the first place when Windows doesn't even run on any big endian archs (to my knowledge). And true enough, 'WIN_StringToUTF8' from core/windows/SDL_windows.h is used everywhere else in the windows backend, which is just a macro to iconv with "UTF-16LE" as source. Therefore it would IMO make sense to use this macro here as well, which would solve my problem (patch attached).

I added xdnd_version check to XdndPosition case also
under DEBUG_XEVENTS macro.
by this we can get the action requested by user.
I analysed further and found out that removing xdnd_version check at XdndDrop case is a bad idea because
in XConvertSelection API timestamp should be passed if(xdnd_version >= 1)
otherwise CurrentTime should be passed
So xdnd_version check is important at XdndDrop case
I made xdnd_version as a static so that it can store the version in other cases also.
iOS 8 introduces LaunchScreen NIBs which use autolayout to handle all devices and orientations with a single NIB instead of multiple launch images. This is also the only way to get the App Store badge "Optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus". So if the application is running on iOS 8 or greater AND has specified a LaunchScreen in their Info.plist, this patch will use the NIB as the launch screen. Otherwise, the code falls back to the legacy code path.
Note: Upon audit of the legacy path, it appears that it does not properly handle the UILaunchImages Info.plist convention. I've added comments inline to the code about this. However, in about a year from now, nobody is going to care about this path since everybody should be using LaunchScreen NIBs.
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT allows WinRT apps to alter the path that
SDL_GetPrefPath() returns. Setting it to "local" uses the app's
OS-defined Local folder, setting it to "roaming" uses the app's OS-defined
Roaming folder.
Roaming folder support is not available in Windows Phone 8.0. Attempts to
make SDL_GetPrefPath() return a Roaming folder on this OS will be ignored.
Various bits of documentation on this were added to SDL_hints.h, and to
README-winrt.md
Further support regarding IME and on-screen keyboards is pending, some of
which might not be 100% compatible with other platforms, given WinRT platform
restrictions. An MSDN article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465404.aspx
indicates that on-screen keyboard display requires that the user first tap on
a Windows/XAML text control.
This change adds basic SDL_TEXTINPUT support, with input coming from hardware
keyboards, at a minimum, and without the need for XAML integration (which is
still pending integration into SDL, by and large).
This scenario can occur, for example, when the 4-finger touch sequence is used to switch spaces. the SDL window does not receive the touch up events and ends up thinking there are far more fingers on the pad than there are.
So the solution here is everytime a new "touch" appears we can through and check if there are any existing known touches by the OS and if there are none, abut SDL things there are, we simply go through and cancel the SDL touches.
Side affects.
- the "touch up" won't occur until the users sends a new touch (could be well after the actual release really did occur)
Windows Phone 8.0 either did not define, or provide access to, a 'RoamingFolder'
or 'TemporaryFolder' for apps to use. Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do, as does
Windows Phone 8.1. This change allows SDL-based Windows Phone 8.1 apps to
access these folders, via either the SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUNICODE() or
SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8() functions.
SDL_GetPrefPath(), which on WinRT, is based on SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8(), will
continue to return the app's 'local' folder, despite Windows 8.x
counterpart apps using the 'roaming' folder, in order to preserve compatibility
when 8.0-based Phone apps upgrade to 8.1-based Phone apps.
This patch makes sure that any SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN, SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP, and
SDL_MOUSEMOTION events, as triggered by a touch event in a WinRT app, set the
event's 'which' field to SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID. Previously, this was getting set
to the same value as events from a real mouse, '0'.
Thanks to Diego for providing information on this bug, and to Tamas Hamor for
sending over a patch!
SDL2 reports the following message when we type the "/" on br-abnt2 keyboards:

That's because the corresponding entry in the scancodes table is

This commit fixes that adding the value SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH for this entry.
- Removed USE_GETTICKCOUNT code; it's never used now.
- Reduced the number of preprocessor checks for WinRT.
- Renamed timeSetPeriod() so it doesn't look like a Win32 API call.
An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid
this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio
callbacks not firing fast enough, etc.
