I still haven't figured out why my application is being minimized when I try to raise, it but my previous workaround is causing issues.
For now the correct way to raise and/or restore the window is as follows:
if ( !(SDL_GetWindowFlags( window ) & SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED) )
{
SDL_RaiseWindow( window );
}
if ( SDL_GetWindowFlags( window ) & SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED )
{
SDL_RestoreWindow( window );
}
I will investigate the window state change rules more fully in the future.

When we get a kCGEventTapDisabledByTimeout or
kCGEventTapDisabledByUserInput, the event tap would perform an invalid
memory access. void pointers are so fun.
This code only runs if you explicitly build with SDL_MAC_NO_SANDBOX.

I encountered a problem trying to load a 8-bit paletted BMP file using SDL. This file was generated using GIMP 2.8. It has a big BITMAPINFOHEADER (0x6c bytes for biSize field), and thus the palette is incorrectly setup.

this patch adds support for the horizontal wheel in Windows. It is shamelessly copied off the vertical wheel code, but I guess that that is a value added in consistency.
Thanks to Denis Bernard!
Also, changed the Android manifest so the app doesn't quit with orientation
changes, and made testgles.c exit properly on Android.
This bumps the build SDK level to 12 (up from 10). Runtime requirements remain
the same (at API level < 12 joystick support is disabled).
Also enables building SDL for armv7 and x86.
A port of the ANGLE library (OpenGL ES 2.0 for Direct3D) to WinRT, via https://github.com/stammen/angleproject, is used as a base.
To enable, clone 'angleproject' into the directory one above where SDL/WinRT is, open the file SDL/include/SDL_config_winrt.h, and uncomment the #defines that begin with 'SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL'. From there, apps can create an OpenGL capable SDL_Window via the flag, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL, and an OpenGL ES 2 context via SDL_GL_CreateContext. The Direct3D 11.1 renderer cannot be used alongside SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL. Only Windows 8/8.1 is supported for now. Shaders may need to be precompiled, in some (all?) cases.

The audio_enumerateAndNameAudioDevicesNegativeTests test in testautomation_audio.c reports a failure for SDL_GetAudioDeviceName when called on a driver that has only the default device. SDL_GetNumAudioDevices reports 1, but SDL_GetAudioDeviceName does not check if the index passed by the caller is in that range in this case. For positive numbers anyway.
This can be reproduced with the dummy driver on Windows and Linux.

I've recently tried to create multiple windows and process key events for them, and found that key events weren't being generated for most of the windows. After some investigating I've observed the following effects. All but the most recently created window experience these effects...
- a focus lost event is generated immediately after the focus gained event, even tho window still has focus
- key events report window id 0 rather than the id of the window which has focus, SDL thinks no window has focus?
- giving focus to a non SDL window and then selecting an SDL window causes events to be generated as expected, but only until focus changes again
Focus change events are queued and delayed (200 ticks) before they are dispatched. The problem occurs when a focus out and focus in event are received on the same tick. When these delayed events are dispatched they will be sent in the order determined by the window list rather than the order in which they are received.
The focus out dispatch is implemented by calling SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(NULL). This will remove focus from any window, regardless of whether it is the one originally targeted by the X11 event.
Since SDL_SetKeyboardFocus() will always dispatch a focus lost event as needed, the easiest solution is simply to only call SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(NULL) when SDL_GetKeyboardFocus() matches the target window.
The first bug had mouse motion events not getting sent out on non-touch devices, if and when a mouse button wasn't pressed.
The second bug caused virtual mouse motion events to get sent out-of-order on touch devices: the motion event would get sent after the touch occurred, rather than before.
To enable the Debug Layer, set the hint, SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_DEBUG to '1'.
The Debug Layer will be turned off by default, both in Release and Debug builds (of SDL).

I was going through the SDL_IntersectRectAndLine function and wondered to see the ComputeOutCode function implementation.
The problem in this algo is, x and y axis are getting check with respect to 0, Which is wrong, it should be get checked with respect to rectangle x and y axis.

The problem in question is caused by changeset 7771 (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/5486e579872e / https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2121)
The redefinition of __inline__ (introduced by the addition of begin_code.h:128's "|| __STRICT_ANSI__") results in mingw's gcc throwing multiple

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 (GL version 1.4 Mesa 8.0.4) , and on drawing a set of lines through the renderer through SDL_RenderDrawLines() (looped or not) or SDL_RenderDrawRect() I notice a pixel missing. For RenderDrawLines() it seems to be the second point in the sequence; for RenderDrawRect() it is the lower-right. This can be fixed by specifying SDL_RenderDrawPoint(s), but wouldn't it be easier to specify each pixel in a GL_POINTS glBegin/End loop in the OpenGL code, just to make sure?
I also ran the same program on Android; the rendering seemed to be correct, which uses glDrawArrays.

Overview:
SDL_RenderClear is only clearing part of a texture when it is the render target and a different size than the screen.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) This only occurs with the render driver set to direct3d, so: SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER,"direct3d")
Also, my window was 1280x720.
2) Create a texture for a render target with a resolution of 1024x1024:
texture=SDL_CreateTexture(main_window.renderer,SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888,SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET,1024,1024);
SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(texture,SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);
3) Target the texture for rendering: SDL_SetRenderTarget(main_window.renderer,texture);
4) Set the draw color to whatever you want (problem occurs with both 0,0,0,0 and 0,0,0,255 among others) and then clear the render target:
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(main_window.renderer,0,0,0,0);
SDL_RenderClear(main_window.renderer);
Actual Results:
Only about the top 3/4s of the texture gets cleared on calling SDL_RenderClear. The bottom 1/4 or so does not clear.
Expected Results:
Entire render target should be cleared.

Brief history:
We recently ported a game from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2. While doing Windows testing, I soon discovered that the game exits without opening a window with my cross-compiled SDL2.dll, but works great with the SDL2.dll from the MinGW SDK on libsdl.org. It was as simple as swapping out the DLLs to make it work.
Running the game in Wine showed that the game actually does run, up until the call to SDL_CreateWindow, which fails and leads the game to print out an error:
Failure to create window (LoadLibrary("OPENGL32.DLL"): (null))
Which basically says that there was no error, but maybe that's a Wine quirk.
The error string originates in SDL_windowsopengl.c, in WIN_GL_LoadLibrary, which contains this piece of code:
wpath = WIN_UTF8ToString(path);
_this->gl_config.dll_handle = LoadLibrary(wpath);
SDL_free(wpath);
if (!_this->gl_config.dll_handle) {
char message[1024];
SDL_snprintf(message, SDL_arraysize(message), "LoadLibrary(\"%s\")",
path);
return WIN_SetError(message);
}
After some digging, I discovered the culprit: WIN_UTF8ToString returns NULL. Why? Because it calls iconv_open from an iconv.dll that does not support the UCS-2-INTERNAL encoding. Why does the official SDL2.dll work? Because it calls no external iconv functions at all.
It turns out that the Fedora MinGW infrastructure (from which I obtained the conventiently prebuilt iconv.dll) does not provide a DLL from libiconv, but instead provides a DLL from a minimal Windows library called win-iconv. Which knows a good bit, but doesn't know anything about UCS-2-INTERNAL:
http://code.google.com/p/win-iconv/source/browse/trunk/win_iconv.c#155
So there are two problems here:
1) The error message is clearly useless, because LoadLibrary is an innocent bystander. Instead wpath should probably checked for NULL, and a more appropriate error should be set. Ideally something that makes it clear than an external iconv is causing trouble.
2) SDL doomed itself at the ./configure step, by finding an existing iconv and happily using it without confirming support for the mandatory encodings required by SDL.
There are certainly a few easy ways out of the situation (although I didn't yet manage to figure out how to prevent ./configure from looking for external iconv), but this had me completely stomped for a good while, so I figured it's worth writing down if anything.
(Search also found this, which talks a little about using UTF-16LE instead of UCS-2-INTERNAL: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2075)

SDL_dxjoystick.c is setting the classguid for device (dis)connect events to USB Devices in general:
dbh.dbcc_classguid = GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE;
Wouldn't it make more sense to have it just subscribe to Hid device events? This would mean less meaningless events reaching the application.

Revision eecbcfed77c9 of the SDL hg repo introduces the new
SDL_GetSystemRAM() function, which breaks the build on FreeBSD. Find
attached a patch, which unbreaks the build and also should (for most
cases) properly implement the sysctl support it.
T. Joseph Carter
As discussed (possibly to death), the Linux joystick driver does not actually report events for added or removed joysticks when you haven't got udev support.
We simply cannot know about removed joysticks without udev. But we can (and we should) report adding them. This brings the legacy case in line with pretty much the rest of SDL's joystick drivers.
This reverts http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7cdeb64faa72 and fixes it in
the correct way. If you call SDL_SetWindowPosition on a fullscreen
window, it would update the x & y variables for the window, but not
actually move the window (since it was fullscreen). That would make the
internal state of the SDL_Window incorrect, causing
SDL_WarpMouseInWindow to offset incorrectly.
This makes it so SDL_SetWindowPosition updates the `windowed' x & y
coordinates, which take effect when you revert from fullscreen.
norfanin
Some of the tests keep using the pointers of a destroyed SDL_Window when the common event handling handled the close event. The event handler itself does not NULL the pointer after the destruction.
The attached patch adds a loop in the handler that will assign NULL to the destroyed window. It also adds checks to some of the tests so they skip those windows by checking for NULL.
On Android available touch devices are now added with video initialization (like
the keyboard). This fixes SDL_GetNumTouchDevices() returning 0 before any touch
events happened although there is a touch screen available. The adding of touch
devices after a touch event was received is still active to allow connecting
devices later (if this is possible) and to provide a fallback if the new init
did not work somehow. For the implementation JNI was used and API level 9 is
required. There seems to be nothing in the Android NDK's input header (input.h)
to implement everything on C side without communication with Java side.
This can break builds of existing SDL/WinRT apps. To fix, remove the reference to SDL_winrt_main.cpp, then add a reference to the renamed file, SDL_winrt_main_NonXAML.cpp. If you get a build error about a missing .winmd file, enable the /ZW compiler flag for that one file (at minimum).
XAudio2 2.8's header file, xaudio2.h, doesn't compile in plain C code for WinRT
apps, not automatically at least. Initially, this file was adapted to compile
as C++, however these changes are now deprecated in favor of some preprocessor
based hacks that should get xaudio2.h to compile (while making sure XAudio2
still works).
This change should allow apps to render correctly in Portrait mode, at minimum,
Support for orientation changes is pending.
Thanks to Pierre-Yves for assistance!
This is part of an overall effort to use the name, "WinRT", rather than "WindowsRT" (or "Windows RT"), as the shorthand name often seems to mean something different than the longhand name. (WinRT is an API, Windows RT is a product name)
This change removes some code that attempted to allow non-standard window sizes, the idea of which was to do display scaling, and a hackish one at that. If display scaling is needed, use SDL_Renderer as appropriate.
- moved SDL_WinRTApp.* from src/video/windowsrt/ to src/core/winrt/, and renamed them to SDL_winrtapp.* (to mimick case-sensitivity used elsewhere in SDL)
- renamed all "windowsrt" directories (in src) to "winrt", as the shorthand name is used more often (and, IMO, "WinRT" != "Windows RT", not entirely at least)
norfanin
SetupWindowData in SDL_windowswindow.c doesn't initialize two members of SDL_WindowData with NULL. This is an issue because other parts of the SDL code seem to make the assumption that this is the case. WIN_DestroyWindowFramebuffer for example uses data->mdc and data->hbm if they're not NULL.
Lloyd Bryant
SDL_CreateTexture() is succeeding (i.e. returning a valid pointer) when the requested horizontal or vertical size of the texture exceeds the maximum allowed by the render. This results in hard-to-understand errors showing up when later attempting to use that texture (such as with SDL_SetRenderTarget()).
Added a reference to SDL_Direct3D9GetAdapterIndex to SDL_test_common.c so SDL will fail to compile if the new symbol isn't included properly.

I tried to experiment a bit with SDL2 and OpenGL today and noticed that something caused some weird flickering when resizing my nicely drawn SDL2/OpenGL window:
Just after resizing, the background went black and I had to let my OpenGL code redraw the contents..
However, after some hours spent with googling I found out that in OpenGL examples where this CWBackPixel flag was not used when creating X windows, there was no flickering while resizing the window.
See http://www.sbin.org/doc/Xlib/chapt_04.html @ "The Window Background" for more info.

Work around a false-positive in the X11 mouse wheel code
This false positive occurs when one particular button on my mouse is
pressed. The kernel which I'm using is patched to cause a release event to
be synthesised immediately when the mouse says that this button is pressed
because the mouse doesn't signal release until the button is next pressed.
(Also documents a false negative, observed with the horizontal scroll wheel
on the same mouse.)
X11_RestoreWindow() had a call ordering problem that prevented activation, and X11_RaiseWindow() wasn't attempting activation. Windows and OS X both activate in these cases.

Make it so XInput devices are listed before DirectInput devices, and that the XInput
devices are sorted by userid in ascending numeric order (so device 0 comes first).
Now multiple XInput controllers map correctly to device indexes instead of grabbing
the first available userid, and are completely separated out from DirectInput.
Also, the hardcoded limitation on number of DirectInput devices is gone. I don't
expect there to really ever be more than eight joysticks plugged into a machine, but
it was a leftover limitation for a static array we didn't actually use anymore.

CR: SamL
This entire function is kind of a mess and more complicated than needed, but I don't want to refactor it too heavily tonight. May look at improving how the indexes are assigned more significanly later. The way it handles not finding a valid "gamepad" type device is also super broken, it leaves in place the xinput bindings but opens the controller with dinput and ends up with completely wrong mappings, not solving that now, but fixing the bug where we'd very frequently not find a controller due to gaps in assigned player numbers should mostly avoid it.

The issue comes down to this line on MSDN:
"TranslateMessage produces WM_CHAR messages only for keys that are mapped to ASCII characters by the keyboard driver."
"WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP combinations produce a WM_CHAR or WM_DEADCHAR message. WM_SYSKEYDOWN and WM_SYSKEYUP combinations produce a WM_SYSCHAR or WM_SYSDEADCHAR message."
Except for WM_CHAR, none of these messages are used in SDL. Hence TranslateMessage should be dropped entirely and proper handling be included in the WM_KEYDOWN event.
Currently TranslateMessage is called for every message even if it must not be called in certain cases (like "An application should not call TranslateMessage if the TranslateAccelerator function returns a nonzero value.").
WM_CHAR message handling should remain for external processes posting these messages - additionally, WM_UNICHAR should be added.
I made a patch for src/video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c that seems to work fine. It doesn't solve the "missing" composition for Khmer, but at least input for languages that cannot be mapped to ASCII characters (and for which IME is not used) will now work on Windows.

I found I make a big mistake that when dstA==0, I just simply let *dstp=*srcp and forgot to make dstRGB = srcRGB*srcA.
The if consition "(*dstp & amask) == 0" in BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlphaMMX and BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlphaMMX3dNow should be removed.
I see the Remarks of function SDL_BlitSurface shows that "when SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND, we have dstA = srcA + (dstA * (1-srcA))". however, I tested some pictures but the result implies "dstA=arcA" actually. I stepped into the source code, and found after I set SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND for the source surface, the final blit function is BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlphaMMX when I use SDL_BlitSurface on my computer. And I found these codes:
else if (alpha == amask) {
/* opaque alpha -- copy RGB, keep dst alpha */
*dstp = (*srcp & chanmask) | (*dstp & ~chanmask);
The same code is used in BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlphaMMX3DNOW and BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlpha. So I think they still keep dst alpha.

If the app is in landscape mode and the user presses the power button, a pause
is followed immediately by a surfaceChanged event because the lock screen
is shown in portrait mode. This triggers a "false" resume.
So, we just pause and resume following the onWindowFocusChanged events.
Also, wait for SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_DIDENTERBACKGROUND before
blocking the event pump.
Some more recent compilers emit SSE aligned store instructions for the loop,
causing crashes if the destination buffer isn't aligned on a 32-bit boundary.
This would also crash on platforms like ARM that require aligned stores.
This fixes a crash inside SDL_FillRect that happens with the official x64 mingw
build.
The Windows Phone 8.1 'MessageDialog' API only seems to support two buttons,
despite the documentation for such mentioning support for three. Trying to use
three or more buttons leads to an exception being thrown. As such, any attempt
to use more than two buttons via SDL_ShowMessageBox (on Windows Phone 8.1) will
lead to no message box getting shown, and the call returning an error.
The Win32 MessageBox and dialog APIs are not available in WinRT apps, to note.
More extensive message dialog support might be available at some point, if and
when XAML support is more fully fleshed-out. I'm not certain of this, though.
When a Windows Phone 8.0 app was rotated to anything but Portrait mode, touch
input coordinates, as well as virtual mouse coordinates, were usually getting
reported as coming from the wrong part of the screen.
If a Windows Phone 8.1 device was rotated to anything but Portrait mode,
the Direct3D 11 renderer's output wouldn't get aligned correctly with the
screen.
This is a step towards supporting "Universal" Windows apps, when building for
Windows Phone. SDL can now build against the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, and apps
linked to it can run, however further work and testing is required as some
previously Phone-only code appears to no longer be applicable for
Windows Phone 8.1. The Windows 8.1 code paths does seem to be preferable, but
should probably be tested and updated on a finer-grained basis.
If in doubt, use the Windows Phone 8.0 projects for now, as located in
VisualC-WinRT/WinPhone80_VS2012/
TODO:
- look at any Windows Phone specific code paths in SDL, and see if Phone 8.1
should use the Windows Phone code path(s), or the Windows 8.x or 8.1 paths
The Win32 APIs, VerifyVersionInfoW and VerSetConditionMask, are not currently
available for use in WinRT apps. This change primarily #if[n]defs-out some
calls to them.
This allows the joystick hotplug to function without the main event loop
(specifically: without SDL_INIT_VIDEO), and moves explicit polling for
joysticks where it belongs at the low-level: in SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect().
This lets apps call SDL_JoystickUpdate() to get hotplug events and keep
SDL_NumJoysticks() correct, as expected. As SDL_PumpEvents() (and
SDL_PollEvents, etc) calls SDL_JoystickUpdate(), existing apps will function
as before.
Thanks to "raskie" on the forums for pointing this out!

It used to be that SDL_SetWindowPosition was relative to the top of the screen,
which didn't make sense. In addition, borderless windows can be positioned
*below* the menubar, so SDL_SetWindowPosition(win, 0, 0) on a borderless window
would hide ~30ish pixels of the window below the menubar.
This fixes an issue where an empty cliprect is treated the same as a NULL
cliprect, causing the render backends to disable clipping.
Also adds a new API, SDL_RenderIsClipEnabled(render) that allows you to

- SDL_Rect r = {0,0,0,0}; SDL_RenderSetClipRect(render, &r);

When I double click on a window, the "clicks" field (newly added since 2.0.2) in SDL_MouseButtonEvent is 1 instead of 2.
However, when I "tripple" click, "clicks" field is then 2.
I'v look into the source code in SDL_windowsevents.c and found that when a double click event comes, WIN_WindowProc will get a WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK msg. The message sequence of a double click is:WM_LBUTTONDOWN->WM_LBUTTONUP->WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK->WM_LBUTTONUP.

Using any SDL application with the Wayland backend under Weston, if the application sets a cursor with SDL_SetCursor, the cursor will work until the mouse pointer leaves the window. When the pointer re-enters the window, there will be no cursor displayed at all.
I did some digging, and the reason for this is that SDL attaches the buffer to the cursor surface only once (during cursor creation) and assumes that it will stay attached. This is not how Wayland works, though - once the compositor is done rendering the buffer, it will release it, so it is no longer attached to the surface. When the cursor re-enters the window a second time, SDL sets the cursor to the same surface with no buffer attached, so no cursor is displayed.
This is fixed by the attached patch, which makes SDL attach the buffer to the surface when the cursor is set, not when it is created.
Bryan Cain
Wayland_CreateSystemCursor tries to load a cursor named "wait" for two of the system cursor categories. This causes a segmentation fault when one of these cursors is used, because "wait" is not an actual cursor name in X11/Wayland cursor themes.
I can't attach my patch since I'm on a mobile right now, but I can confirm that simply replacing "wait" with "watch" for both of its uses in Wayland_CreateSystemCursor (in SDL_waylandmouse.c) fixes the bug.

RHEL6 and CentOS6 systems still use an old version of udev (147). It wasn't until udev 148 (Yep. 1 version off!) that the input class system changed from "ID_CLASS" to "ID_INPUT_{JOYSTICK,KEYBOARD,MOUSE,etc}" (http://lwn.net/Articles/364728/). Because SDL2 looks for the ID_INPUT_X field this means that it never detects any input devices on RHEL6 systems.
I've attached a patch which fixes the problem. If no input devices are detected with "ID_INPUT_X" then SDL will fallback to looking for the old style "ID_CLASS" udev field instead.
Because of the "big change" between udev versions I doubt it'll ever get upgraded on RHEL6, but because RHEL7 is on the way I don't know if this patch is worth merging. Hopefully it'll help anyone out that's having this problem though.

While enabling $1 gesture support in the Urho3D engine which uses SDL2 I detected some errors in the gesture code in SDL_gesture.c:
- In the function SDL_SaveAllDollarTemplates() the following line should use index variable j instead of i:
rtrn += SaveTemplate(&touch->dollarTemplate[i], dst);
- In the function SDL_SaveDollarTemplate() the following code should use index variable j instead of i:
if (touch->dollarTemplate[i].hash == gestureId) {
return SaveTemplate(&touch->dollarTemplate[i], dst);
- In the function SDL_SendGestureDollar() the x & y coordinates are being written to the mgesture structure, which results in garbage due to dgesture and mgesture being different data structures inside the union. The coordinates should be written to dgesture.x & dgesture.y respectively
Changes included:
- adding support for a few, additional, VirtualKey constants
- removing accesses to 'windows_scancode_table', as the table's contents
don't line up with WinRT virtual keys. Using Windows older VK_* constants
may, however, be a good alternative in a future update.
