It is a protocol error to attempt to create a pointer confine (i.e.
`SDL_SetWindowGrab`) while a locked pointer is active, and vice-versa.
Instead of aborting due to a protocol error, this commit makes SDL
gracefully downgrade locked pointers to confines when appropriate.
Previously the first card with non-empty connectors, encoders
and crtcs would be selected, however KMSDRM_VideoInit could still reject
it if the connector was not connected. This allow finding the first card
(in a multi GPU setup) that is actually connected to a display.

I noticed pt2-clone had problems with it's optional hardware mouse on the KMSDRM backend: cursor had a transparent block around it.
So I was investigating and it seems that a GBM cursor needs it's pixels to be alpha-premultiplied instead of straight-alpha.
A
lso, I was previously relying on "manual testing" for the cursor size, but it's far better to use whatever the DRM driver recommends via drmGetCap(): any working driver should make a size recommendation via drmGetCap(), so that's what we use now. I took this decision because I found out that the AMDGPU driver reported working cursor sizes that would appear garbled on screen, and only the recommended cursor size works.
This is handled in in the higher-level SDL_GL_LoadLibrary().
All uses of SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary (which calls the Only version) are just
target-specific wrappers for their own GL_LoadLibrary hook, with two
exceptions which now handle driver_loaded correctly (although it's
questionable if these init-if-no-one-did-it-correctly-already code blocks
should exist at all, fwiw).
Fixes Bugzilla #5190.
Instead of creating an X11 connection to test that X11 is available,
closing the connection, and then reconnecting for real, use the same
connection to handle both cases.
The X11 connection retry delay mechanism in the case where X11 is
dynamically loaded has been removed. It was only necessary to avoid
authetnication token reuse from the XOpenDisplay call that used to
exist in X11_Available. Now that this call is only made once, it
is no longer needed.
Also drop unused and inapplicable code from a comment.
***
The two are only ever called together, and combining them makes it possible
to eliminate redundant symbol loading and redundant attempts to connect
to a display server.

This small patch fixes the KMSDRM_CreateSurfaces() call in KMSDRM_CreateWindow(), that was segfaulting deeper into SDL internals because the windata->viddata pointer wasn't set before the KMSDRM_CreateSurfaces() call.
So that's what this small patch does.
Now, L?VE2D works perfectly well on the Raspberry Pi 3, instead of just segfaulting.

This patch is needed so programs that do this work as expected:
1) Start in a different video mode than the mode used by the system and then...
2) Try to go fullscreen with the mode originally used by the system via SetWindowFullScreen() with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag.
An example would be pt2-clone in https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone.
This program does this:
Starts with:
video.window = SDL_CreateWindow("", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, screenW, screenH, windowFlags);
and then, *IF* the user has configured it in fullscreen mode in its .ini, it tries to go fullscreen with the desktop mode:
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(video.window, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP);
This sequence of operations is currently failing because SDL_SetDisplayModeForDisplay() in SDL_video.c fails because display->desktop_mode is not being initialized with its correct value: SetDisplayMode() in SDL_kmsdrmvideo.c will not be able to set the mode because it detects the mode to have a driverdata of 0x0 ("if (!modedata)") and rightfully returns an error.
So, the included patch fixes this small problem, and programs that first change the video mode and then try to go fullscreen with the system video mode will now work.
The patch simply fixes an small omission, but its really needed now that dynamic video mode changing was implemented on the KMSDRM backend.

As discussed here:
https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/question-about-implementation-of-sdl-updatewindowsurfacerects/27561
"As you can see this function [WIN_UpdateWindowFramebuffer, in src/video/windows/SDL_windowsframebuffer.c] calls BitBlt on entire screen, even though it accepts the rects. Rects variable is not even used in this function at all. Now my question is why is that the case?"
It currently behaves like a locking key which is pressed
when Caps Lock is enabled and released when disabled. This
means that apps that trigger events on Caps Lock key down will
only fire these events every other time Caps Lock is pressed.

It looks like refactoring of SDL2 internal API has broken SDL_RenderFillRect for DirectFB. In new version function SDL_RenderFillRect returns 0, but rectangle is not visible.
Replacing "count" with "len" in the argument list for SDL_memcpy in DirectFB_QueueFillRects fixes problem.
Arithmatic operations promote Uint8 to signed int. If the top bit of a
Uint8 is set, and it is left shifted 24 places, then the result is not
representable in a signed 32 bit int. This would be undefined behaviour
on systems where int is 32 bits.
It makes it clearer who owns the memory, and more reasonable to free it on
failure in the creating function.
(and, of course, pacifies static analysis.)
Manuel Alfayate Corchete
On the KMSDRM backend, there is no such thing as a desktop, yet some programs could (and DO) use SDL_GetGlobalMouseState().
So I think its good idea that, in KMSDRM, it returns the same mouse coordinates anyway as SDL_GetMouseState() would return. There is nothing else it could return, as far as I can understand, since there is no desktop anyway.
This small patch does precisely that.
Manuel Alfayate Corchete
The KMSDRM backend was doing things wrong because of some small (but important) misconceptions on how KMS/DRM works: to implement a largely broken non-vsync refresh mechanism, the SwapWindow() function was issuing new pageflips before previous ones had completed, thus causing EBUSY returns, buffer mismanagement, etc... resulting in general breakage on vsync disabling from apps, that would not allow vsync to work again without KMSDRM video re-initialization.
To further clarify, on most DRM drivers async pageflips are NOT working nowadays, so all issued pageflips will complete on next VBLANK, NOT ASAP (calling drmModePageFlip() with the DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag will return error).
The old code was assuming that can just issue a synchronous (=on VBLANK) pageflip and then pass a 0 timeout to the pull() function so we do not wait for the pageflip event, thinking that this will lead to correct non-vsynced screen updates from the program: That is plain wrong.
Each pageflip has to be waite before issuing a new one, ALWAYS. And if we do not support ASYNC pageflips on the DRM driver level, then we are forced to wait for the next VBLANK. There is no way around it.
I have also added many comments on the KMSDRM code. This is needed for future reference for me or others who may need to look at this code: KMS/DRM terminology regarding what SYNC and ASYNC mean in pageflip terms, and where to do certain things and why, is not trivial. It is not desirable or possible to invest time on researching the same concepts every time there is need to dive into this code. So please leave all these comments in the patch.

Display ends up taking only 1/4 of the screen area. It needs to call "setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:highdpi", like when creating a window the normal way.
wengxt
Due to the new major fcitx version is coming close, the existing code need to be ported to use new Fcitx dbus interface.
The new dbus interface is supported by both fcitx 4 and 5, and has a good side effect, which is that it will work with flatpak for free. Also the patch remove the dependency on fcitx header. Instead, it just hardcodes a few enum value in the code so need to handle the different header for fcitx4 or 5.

'SDL_Windows::driverdata' of a Wayland window is allocated by calloc in 'Wayland_CreateWindow' but freed by SDL_free in 'Wayland_DestroyWindow'.
On Raspberry Pi 3 via the VC4 driver in firmware KMS mode, none of the
found configs match the desired format, causing the function to fall through
without any config being selected.
Fix by first iterating over the found configs, and if no match exists,
don't exclude the non-matching configs. This should fix RPI3 and possibly other
targets without breaking targets that have a matching native format (such as RPI4).
This allows you to bind surfaceless contexts on a background thread to, for
example, load assets in a separate context, for platforms that have different
requirements about sharing surfaces, etc.
Martin's notes on the matter:
"Here's a patch that enables passing NULL windows to SDL_GL_MakeCurrent, if
the involved APIs allow it. Currently, this is only the case for EGL, and
even then only if some specific extensions are present (which they usually
are).
If "surfaceless" contexts are not supported, SDL_GL_MakeCurrent continues to
generate an error (albeit with a more specific error message than it used to),
so this should not break anything that wasn't broken before."
(Please see https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3695 for more
discussion.)
Fixes Bugzilla #3695.
This behavior matches SDL_RecreateWindow and makes it less likely that
another piece of code (e.g. a DestroyWindowFramebuffer implementation)
will attempt to use or free the stale surface pointer.
Caleb Cornett's comments:
"A few weeks ago, Alex added a partial Metal API to SDL2:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/22c8e7cd8d38
I noticed it was missing a few features that would help Metal become a
first-class citizen in SDL, so I went ahead and wrote them! Here are the new
APIs:
1. SDL_WINDOW_METAL flag for SDL_CreateWindow(). This allows the programmer
to specify that they intend to create a window for use with SDL_MetalView.
The flag is used to ensure correct usage of the API and to prevent
accidentally defaulting to OpenGL on iOS.
2. SDL_Metal_GetLayer(). This function takes a SDL_MetalView and returns a
pointer to the view's backing CAMetalLayer. This simplifies things
considerably, since in the current version of the SDL_Metal API the
programmer is required to bridge-cast a SDL_MetalView handle to an NSView or
UIView (depending on the platform) and then extract the layer from there.
SDL_Metal_GetLayer automatically handles all of that, making the operation
simple and cross-platform.
3. SDL_Metal_GetDrawableSize(). This function already exists in the current
SDL_Metal API (and is used behind-the-scenes for SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize
on Apple platforms) but was not publicly exposed. My patch exposes this
function for public use. It works just like you'd expect.
Tested on macOS 10.14 and iOS 12.4."
Fixes Bugzilla #4796.
This does not account for scrollbars nor margins. But is much better then returning the full display size when not running fullscreen, but for example in an iframe.
If called from background threads, use Grand Central Dispatch to use the
main thread instead. On the main thread, just call them directly.
Fixes Bugzilla #4932.

If a driver's implementation of CreateWindowFramebuffer sets the window
surface, use that rather than overwriting it. A driver may set the window
surface if data cannot be passed via the CreateWindowFramebuffer output
parameters (e.g. surface palette colors).
This results in a dlsym() call, which causes Emscripten to panic if the game
wasn't explicitly built dlopen support. eglGetProcAddress works just fine on
this platform, so just let that codepath handle it.

Add new RawInput controller API, and improved correlation with XInput/WGI
Reorder joystick init so drivers can ask the others if they handle a device reliably
Do not poll disconnected XInput devices (major perf issue)
Fix various cases where incorrect correlation could happen
Simple mechanism for propagating unhandled Guide button presses even before guaranteed correlation
Correlate by axis motion as well as button presses
Fix failing to zero other trigger
Fix SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI not working if set before calling SDL_Init()
Add missing device to device names
Disable RawInput if we have a mismatch of XInput-capable but not RawInput-capable devices
Updated to SDL 2.0.13 code with the following notes:
New HID driver: xbox360w - no idea what that is, hopefully urelated
SDL_hidapijoystick.c had been refactored to couple data handling logic with device opening logic and device lists caused some problems, yields slightly uglier integration than previously when the 360 HID device driver was just handling the data.
SDL_hidapijoystick.c now often pulls the device off of the joystick_hwdata structure for some rumble logic, but it appears that code path is never reached, so probably not a problem.
Looks like joystick_hwdata was refactored to not include a mutex in other drivers, maintainers may want to do the same refactor here if that's useful for some reason.
Something changed in how devices get names, so getting generic names.
Had to fix a (new?) bug where removing an XInput controller caused existing controllers (that moved to a new XInput index) to get identified as 0x045e/0x02fd ("it's probably Bluetooth" in code), rendering the existing HIDAPI_IsDevicePresent and new RAWINPUT_IsDevicePresent unreliable.

I was just communicating with one of the Retropie developers regarding this.
This change removed the forced window focus change on creation (3534cb3793) as part of the change no longer assumes there's only a single window being created. This was perhaps an over-aggressive removal.
Due to that change, joystick events are only received if SDL_SetKeyboardFocus is called explicitly, or if the app has specified SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS.
I think that part of my change should be reverted to continue setting mouse / keyboard focus to the window being created. If SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_FOCUS is to be used as an input flag the code could be conditional, but that would still leave existing software broken.

KaiOS is an OS for feature phones, with numeric keypad and non-touch screen, and typically 512 Mb RAM and 4 Gb flash.
It is based on Firefox OS, all apps are made with HTML5 and Javascript. SDL can be cross-compiled using emscripten and packaged as native app.
This patch adds support for star '*' and pound '#' keys on such phones to generate SDL events.

creating a fullscreen window with SDL_CreateWindow(..SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP..) in MacOS works fine, except if it was triggered by the user with the green knob in the top left window title bar.
Then "something" is different, and SDL_CreateWindow hangs for 15-20 seconds (tested in MacOS 10.13 and 10.14).
Responsible for the hang is this code in SDL_cocoawindow.m - Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreenSpace:
const int maxattempts = 3;
int attempt = 0;
while (++attempt <= maxattempts) {
/* Wait for the transition to complete, so application changes
take effect properly (e.g. setting the window size, etc.)
*/
const int limit = 10000;
int count = 0;
while ([data->listener isInFullscreenSpaceTransition]) {
if ( ++count == limit ) {
/* Uh oh, transition isn't completing. Should we assert? */
break;
}
SDL_Delay(1);
SDL_PumpEvents();
}
if ([data->listener isInFullscreenSpace] == (state ? YES : NO))
break;
/* Try again, the last attempt was interrupted by user gestures */
if (![data->listener setFullscreenSpace:(state ? YES : NO)])
break; /* ??? */
}
One trivial workaround is to change 'const int limit = 10000' to 500. Then the freeze is so short that it doesn't look like a freeze to the user.
Looking further into the problem, I observed that the function Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreenSpace recursively calls itself via some ObjectiveC messages. I managed to extract a callstack for this (copied below): Note how Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreenSpace in stack line 22 calls SDL_PumpEvents, which eventually arrives at SDL_SendWindowEvent, which calls SDL_UpdateFullscreenMode (stack line 0), which then calls Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreenSpace again (not shown). This recursive second call is the one that hangs.
Another "solution" that worked for me was to add a flag to SDL_Window that is set in Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreenSpace and causes this function to return immediately if called from itself.
Obviously, this is also an ugly hack, but I don't have enough time to dive into this crazy Cocoa/ObjectiveC business deep enough to find a proper solution. But hopefully it's easy for one of the experts around.
Note that there is a "failure to go fullscreen"-message involved, maybe using the green knob causes this failure at first.
I can unfortunately not provide a minimum example.
Best regards,
Elmar

- Regression of test_1.c of bug 3827, after fix from bug 4798.
- Blending is also needed when the palette contains alpha value, but not necessarily colorkey.
- Clean up SDL_ConvertColorkeyToAlpha which doesn't seem to need 'ignore_alpha' parameter any-more.
(see bug 3827)
A good metric of this is when the titlebar's "minimize" button is reenabled,
which doesn't happen by the time windowDidExitFullscreen triggers.
This fixes minimizing a fullscreen window on macOS.

Since https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/f908bd722523 / bug 4966 i cannot build SDL anymore. The error i get is, essentially, caused by -Werror=declaration-after-statement in SDL_kmsdrmvideo.c and SDL_kmsdrmopengles.c
Wait up to 100 milliseconds, since the window manager might alter or
outright veto the window change...or not respond at all.
In a well-functioning system, though, this should help make sure
that SDL_SetWindowPosition's results match reality.
Fixes Bugzilla #4646.
OpenGL apparently needs to not do any drawing between wl_egl_window_resize
and eglSwapBuffers, but Vulkan apps don't use SDL to present, so they
never call into an equivalent of SDL_GL_SwapWindow where our Wayland code
was handling pending resize work.
Fixes Bugzilla #4722.
This is obnoxious and wrong, but the patch that activates the Dock before
activating the app fixes the _menu_ not responding on Catalina, but the
first window created by the app won't have keyboard focus without a small
delay inserted.
This obviously needs a better solution, but it gets it limping along correctly
for now.

We did some investigations into a different direction which I would like to share. As mentioned previously the scaling setting in the preferences play an important role for our problem and they also hint towards an issue with point/pixel scaling factors.
We found an interesting correlation between our fail case and the behavior of [nsWindow.screen backingScaleFactor]. It turns out that whenever we encounter the fail case the scale factor is zero when we print it quickly after calling SDL_CreateWindow. After some time the value changes to a non-zero value. In the success case the scaling factor is nonzero 'immediately'. Note that we don't use that factor. We also find that the window backingScaleFactor does not show the strange behavior even in the fail case.
We have also attempted to find out whether any event triggers the transition from zero to non-zero. We found the transition happening when we call SDL_PollEvent. We can even force this to happen by explicitly adding a SDL_PollEvent at an early stage, but it will only happen if a certain amount of time elapsed, so we need to add some sleep before the call to trigger the transition at an earlier stage. All that seems to imply that the transition happens async and that SDL_PollEvent merely causes the system to update its internal state at that time.
We have also verified that the scaling setting in the preferences does NOT directly correlate to the scaling factor behavior. We find that a particular scaling setting can lead to a fail case for one resolution and a success case for another resolution. This shows that the scaling setting alone does not determine whether the problem will appear or not.
We have also verified on another Mac with 10.14 that the scaling factor is always non-zero and we always have the success case.
I have no idea how to interpret this initial-zero behavior and haven't found any usable information on the screen backing scale factor. It seems as 10.15 does some stuff more async than before and maybe the problem could be caused by unfortunate timings. I would be very interested to hear your opinion about that.
...
Finally we found the cause of all our problems: it's the origin hack in Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreen:
/* Hack to fix origin on Mac OS X 10.4 */
NSRect screenRect = [[nswindow screen] frame];
if (screenRect.size.height >= 1.0f) {
rect.origin.y += (screenRect.size.height - rect.size.height);
}
If we comment this one out our game and testdraw2 do behave correctly.
It turns out that if a window is not fully contained in the screen, it's screen property becomes zero and therefore we saw a zero when printing the backing scale factor (although it's not clear why it became nonzero later).
We suggest to add a runtime check which skips this code for 10.15 (or possibly earlier if you happen to know that the hack is not needed for certain older versions).
More info: consider the line
NSRect screenRect = [[nswindow screen] frame];
in Cocoa_SetWindowFullscreen. We found that this rect has the dimensions of the desktop
on our OS X 10.15 setup. This is true both for the success case and the fail case. It seems as the success case is actually a fail case in disguise.
On the other Mac with OS X 10.14 the same rect has the dimension of the newly created screen. This is what I would expect, because at that time the window has already been created successfully and there should be a newly created screen associated to the window.
What are the cases in which the whole origin conversion code for the fullscreen case is supposed to have a non-trivial result?
Today we found that if we print the dimensions of [nswindow screen] later, then we find them to be correct. So the conclusion seems to be that OS X 10.15 does indeed do the window/screen setup more async than before and that the origin correction code uses the [nswindow screen] at a time where the window/screen setup isn't finalized yet.
It was done to allow hotkey resizing of borderless windows, but Windows will sometimes draw it, regardless of our WM_* message handling. See bug 4466 for more details.

When using Win10 on-screen keyboard (tooltip.exe), the left and right cursor keys in it do not produce SDLK_LEFT and SDLK_RIGHT events.
Windows messages generated by the on-screen keyboard, for some reason, have their scancodes set to zeroes. Here is the log from Spy++:
WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:VK_LEFT cRepeat:1 ScanCode:00 fExtended:0 fAltDown:0 fRepeat:0 fUp:0
WM_KEYUP nVirtKey:VK_LEFT cRepeat:1 ScanCode:00 fExtended:0 fAltDown:0 fRepeat:1 fUp:1
Regular physical keyboard produces VK_LEFT (ScanCode:4B) and VK_RIGHT (ScanCode:4D) which are interpreted correctly.
With on-screen keyboard, the switch statement in VKeytoScancode() does not check for VK_LEFT and VK_RIGHT, returning SDL_SCANCODE_UNKNOWN, which in turn does not get mapped to anything (because the scan codes are zeroes).
