While most of the KMOD_* flags are enums, the combination flags KMOD_CTRL, KMOD_ALT, KMOD_SHIFT and KMOD_GUI are defined as macros. This breaks third-party code that uses these KMOD_* names for local identifiers, such as OGRE. The correct thing to do is to make them all enums.
For systems without strlcpy and strlcat, just declare them as if they exist;
the analyzer possibly still knows the details of these functions and can
utilize that in its analysis.
Most of this patch was from meyraud705 at gmail and Martin Gerhardy. Thanks!

I just tripped over this: stb_image when requesting 3 channels with 8-bit actually returns them as 3 bytes per pixel with no alignment, so basically 4 pixels are 12 bytes with no padding (0...2, 3...5, 6...8, and 9...11). This I would have naively expected to be called RGB888 or BGR888, since there is no "dead" unused byte as I would expect for something called e.g. RGBX8888.
However, SDL2's SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR888 uses 4 bytes, same as SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGRX8888, even though the latter appears to be a longer storage format - which it isn't, internally. It's just swapped, in byte order X, B, G, R (instead of BGRX). So why isn't the macro name also swapped, as "XBGR888" instead of just "BGR888"?
I find the formats therefore named inconsistently, and unless there is a reason for this I suggest these changes:
1. deprecate SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR888 in favor of a new SDL_PIXELFORMAT_XBGR8888
and
2. deprecate SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGB888 in favor of a new SDL_PIXELFORMAT_XRGB8888
1. Comment that SDL_SetThreadPriority will make any necessary system changes when applying priority.
2. Add a hint to override SDL's default behavior for scheduler policy.
3. Modify the pthreads SDL_SetThreadPriority so that instead of just using the current thread scheduler policy it will change it to a policy that should work best for the requested priority.
4. Add hint checks in SDL_SetThreadPriority so that #3 can be overridden if desired.
5. Modify the Linux SDL_SetThreadPriority so that in the case that policy, either by SDL defaults or from the hint, is a realtime policy it uses the realtime rtkit API.
6. Prior to calling rtkit on Linux make the necessary thread state changes that rtkit requires. Currently this is done every time as it isn't expected that SDL_SetThreadPriority will be called repeatedly for a thread.

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.

I see how the documentation is confusing. I think that the choice of the axis is an implementation detail. The documentation should state the goal of this value, so I propose this wording:
"Use this value to play an effect on the steering wheel axis. This provides
better compatibility across platforms and devices as SDL will guess the
correct axis."
Value could even be renamed 'SDL_HAPTIC_STEERING_AXIS'.
For Linux, sending an effect on the X axis with a Logitech wheel works. Others brands don't have driver for Linux as far as I know.
This is only supported on PulseAudio. You can set a description when opening
your audio device that will show up in pauvcontrol, which lets you set
per-stream volume levels.

This driver supports the Razer Atrox Arcade Stick
Some of the quirks of this driver, inherent in Windows Gaming Input:
* There will never appear to be controllers connected at startup. You must support hot-plugging in order to see these controllers.
* You can't read the state of the guide button
* You can't get controller events in the background

Just ran into this, and from my testing, whatever re-added the dependency is a _major_ regression. Not only is your app forced to link with CoreBluetooth, but iOS has apparently tightened up security and won't even let you _test_ your app unless it specifies the NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription in an Info.plist. It doesn't even pop up an error message, it just straight up crashes.
Adding the permission isn't a good solution either, since I'd really, really rather not have my app request users' bluetooth to always be enabled, especially if the only apparent reason is for Steam Controller support.
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."

Added Linux implementation, otherwise you get "Unsupported direction type" error.
Added documentation to explain why one would use SDL_HAPTIC_FIRST_AXIS.
Mathieu Laurendeau
Consider a device supporting effects on multiple axes.
There's currently no way to play effects against a single-axis direction.
A device supporting effects against X and Y may not allow to play effects with a two-axis direction coordinate, even if one of the coordinates is null.
My current (ugly) work around for this is to add a direction type SDL_HAPTIC_X_FORCE to play effects against a X-axis only direction (patch attached).
This issue impacted two GIMX users using the following wheels:
- Leo Bodnar SimSteering force feedback wheel
- Accuforce direct drive wheel
Playing constant/spring/damper effects against a X-axis direction worked well for the first wheel, but not for the second one.
A better strategy seems to play the effects against the first axis reported by the DirectInput enumeration.
This strategy also works with Logitech wheels (at least the DFGT).
It's been more than a year that I have the latest patch (playing effects against the first axis only) in the GIMX software. It's being used by thousands of people, mostly for adapting their FFB wheel to the PS4. I had no report that proves this strategy to be wrong.

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 have created a new driver for SDL's Joystick and Game-Controller subsystem: a Virtual driver. This driver allows one to create a software-based joystick, which to SDL applications will look and react like a real joystick, but whose state can be set programmatically. A primary use case for this is to help enable developers to add touch-screen joysticks to their apps.
The driver comes with a set of new, public APIs, with functions to attach and detach joysticks, set virtual-joystick state, and to determine if a joystick is a virtual-one.
Use of virtual joysticks goes as such:
1. Attach one or more virtual joysticks by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual. If successful, this returns the virtual-device's joystick-index.
2. Open the virtual joysticks (using indicies returned by SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual).
3. Call any of the SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions when joystick-state changes. Please note that virtual-joystick state will only get applied on the next call to SDL_JoystickUpdate, or when pumping or polling for SDL events (via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvent).
Here is a listing of the new, public APIs, at present and subject to change:
------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Attaches a new virtual joystick.
* Returns the joystick's device index, or -1 if an error occurred.
*/
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual(SDL_JoystickType type, int naxes, int nballs, int nbuttons, int nhats);
/**
* Detaches a virtual joystick
* Returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred.
*/
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickDetachVirtual(int device_index);
/**
* Indicates whether or not a virtual-joystick is at a given device index.
*/
extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_JoystickIsVirtual(int device_index);
/**
* Set values on an opened, virtual-joystick's controls.
* Returns 0 on success, -1 on error.
*/
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualAxis(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int axis, Sint16 value);
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualBall(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int ball, Sint16 xrel, Sint16 yrel);
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualButton(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int button, Uint8 value);
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualHat(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int hat, Uint8 value);
------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous notes on the initial patch, which are also subject to change:
1. no test code is present in SDL, yet. This should, perhaps, change. Initial development was done with an ImGui-based app, which potentially is too thick for use in SDL-official. If tests are to be added, what kind of tests? Automated? Graphical?
2. virtual game controllers can be created by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual with a joystick-type of SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAME_CONTROLLER, with naxes (num axes) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_MAX, and with nbuttons (num buttons) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_MAX. When updating their state, values of type SDL_GameControllerAxis or SDL_GameControllerButton can be casted to an int and used for the control-index (in calls to SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions).
3. virtual joysticks' guids are mostly all-zeros with the exception of the last two bytes, the first of which is a 'v', to indicate that the guid is a virtual one, and the second of which is a SDL_JoystickType that has been converted into a Uint8.
4. virtual joysticks are ONLY turned into virtual game-controllers if and when their joystick-type is set to SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMECONTROLLER. This is controlled by having SDL's default list of game-controllers have a single entry for a virtual game controller (of guid, "00000000000000000000000000007601", which is subject to the guid-encoding described above).
5. regarding having to call SDL_JoystickUpdate, either directly or indirectly via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvents, before new virtual-joystick state becomes active (as specified via SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* function-calls), this was done to match behavior found in SDL's other joystick drivers, almost all of which will only update SDL-state during SDL_JoystickUpdate.
6. the initial patch is based off of SDL 2.0.12
7. the virtual joystick subsystem is disabled by default. It should be possible to enable it by building with SDL_JOYSTICK_VIRTUAL=1
Questions, comments, suggestions, or bug reports very welcome!

To be precise, this is about *desktop OpenGL* on X11. For OpenGL ES, EGL is already used (as it's the only way to get an OpenGL ES context), as Sylvain noted above.
To shine some light on why this is needed:
In 99% of all cases, using GLX on X11 is fine, even though it's effectively deprecated in favor of EGL [1]. However, there's at least one use case that *requires* the OpenGL context being created with EGL instead of GLX, and that's DRM_PRIME interoperability: The function glEGLImageTargetTexture2DOES simply doesn't work with GLX. (Currently, Mesa actually crashes when trying that.)
Some example code:
https://gist.github.com/kajott/d1b29c613be30893c855621edd1f212e
Runs on Intel and open-source AMD drivers just fine (others unconfirmed), but with #define USE_EGL 0 (i.e. forcing it to GLX), it crashes. The same happens when using SDL for window and context creation.
The good news is that most of the pieces for EGL support on X11 are already in place: SDL_egl.c is pretty complete (and used for desktop OpenGL on Wayland, for example), and SDL_x11opengl.c has the aforementioned OpenGL-ES-on-EGL support. However, when it comes to desktop OpenGL, it's hardcoded to fall back to GLX.
I'm not advocating to make EGL the default for desktop OpenGL on X11; don't fix what ain't broken. But something like an SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_FORCE_EGL would be very appreciated to make use cases like the above work with SDL.

This kind of blending is rather quite useful and in my opinion should be available for all renderers. I do need it myself, but since I didn't want to use a custom blending mode which is supported only by certain renderers (e.g. not in software which is quite important for me) I did write implementation of SDL_BLENDMODE_MUL for all renderers altogether.
SDL_BLENDMODE_MUL implements following equation:
dstRGB = (srcRGB * dstRGB) + (dstRGB * (1-srcA))
dstA = (srcA * dstA) + (dstA * (1-srcA))

This was something rather trivial to add, but asked at least several times before (I did google about it as well).
It should be possible to dynamically change scaling mode of the texture. It is actually trivial task, but until now it was only possible with a hint before creating a texture.
I needed it for my game as well, so I took the liberty of writing it myself.
This patch adds following functions:
SDL_SetTextureScaleMode(SDL_Texture * texture, SDL_ScaleMode scaleMode);
SDL_GetTextureScaleMode(SDL_Texture * texture, SDL_ScaleMode *scaleMode);
That way you can change texture scaling on the fly.
Added the functions SDL_JoystickFromPlayerIndex(), SDL_JoystickSetPlayerIndex(), SDL_GameControllerFromPlayerIndex(), and SDL_GameControllerSetPlayerIndex()

Add SDL_HINT_VIDEO_EXTERNAL_CONTEXT hint to notify SDL that the graphics context is external. This disables the automatic context save/restore behavior on Android and avoids using OpenGL by default when SDL_WINDOW_VUKLAN isn't set.
When the application wishes to manage the OpenGL contexts on Android, this avoids cases where SDL unbinds the context and creates new contexts, which can interfere with the application's operation.
When using Vulkan and Metal renderer implementations, this avoids SDL forcing OpenGL to be enabled on certain platforms. While using the SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flag can be used to achieve the same thing, it also causes Vulkan to be loaded. If the application uses Vulkan directly, this is not necessary, and fails window creation when using Metal due to Vulkan not being present. (assuming MoltenVK isn't installed)
Using (1 << 14) instead of 0x4000 might be clearer for the maintainer, but
it makes it harder to look up these flags when debugging an app. The value
has to be written once by one person, the has to be read by tons of people
over and over.
The Offscreen video driver is intended to be used for headless rendering
as well as allows for multiple GPUs to be used for headless rendering
Currently only supports EGL (OpenGL / ES) or Framebuffers
Adds a hint to specifiy which EGL device to use: SDL_HINT_EGL_DEVICE
Adds testoffscreen.c which can be used to test the backend out
Disabled by default for now
When using a recent version of CMake (3.14+), this should make it possible to:
- build SDL for iOS, both static and dynamic
- build SDL test apps (as iOS .app bundles)
- generate a working SDL_config.h for iOS (using SDL_config.h.cmake as a basis)
To use, set the following CMake variables when running CMake's configuration stage:
- CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS
- CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=<SDK> (examples: iphoneos, iphonesimulator, iphoneos12.4, /full/path/to/iPhoneOS.sdk, etc.)
- CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=<semicolon-separated list of CPU architectures> (example: "arm64;armv7s")
Examples:
- for Simulator, using the latest, installed SDK:
cmake path/to/SDL -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphonesimulator -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
- for Device, using the latest, installed SDK, 64-bit only
cmake path/to/SDL -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphoneos -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64
- for Device, using the latest, installed SDK, mixed 32/64 bit
cmake path/to/SDL -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphoneos -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64;armv7s"
- for Device, using a specific SDK revision (iOS 12.4, in this example):
cmake path/to/SDL -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphoneos12.4 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64
- for Simulator, using the latest, installed SDK, and building SDL test apps (as .app bundles):
cmake path/to/SDL -DSDL_TEST=1 -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=iphonesimulator -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
This is currently supported on Linux and macOS. iOS and Android are not
supported at all, Windows support could be added with some changes to the libusb
backend. The Visual Studio and Xcode projects do not use this feature.
Based on Valve Software's hid.cpp, written in collaboration with Andrew Eikum.
The real problem is that SDL_atomic.c was built in thumb mode instead of ARM mode, which is required to use the mcr instruction on ARM platforms. Added a compiler error to catch this case so we don't generate code that does infinite recursion.
I also added a potentially better way to handle things on Linux ARM platforms, based on comments in the Chromium headers, which we can try out after 2.0.10 ships.
It causes the HIDAPI devices to always be opened on enumeration, which causes crashes in the Windows drivers when multiple applications are reading and writing at the same time. We can revisit this after 2.0.10 release.

Current code, search paths, and error messages are written to only consider MoltenVK on macOS as a Vulkan Portability implementation. It's not the only implementation available to the users. gfx-portability [1] has been shown to run a number of titles well, including Dota2, Dolphin Emulator, and vkQuake3, often out-performing MoltenVK in frame rate and stability (see Dolphin benchmark [2]).
There is no reason for SDL to be that specific, it's not using any MVK-specific functions other than the WSI initialization ("VK_MVK_macos_surface"). gfx-portability exposes this extension as well, and a more generic WSI extension is in process. It would be good if SDL was written in a more generic way that expect a Vulkan Portability library as opposed to MoltenVK specifically.

Attached is a minor cleanup patch. It changes the option name of one hint to something better, puts one or two more checks in, and adds explicit casting where warnings could appear otherwise.
I hope the naming of the hints and their options is acceptable. It would be kind of awkward to change them after they get released with an official SDL version.
Simon Hug
I had a look at this and made some additions to SDL_wave.c.
The attached patch adds many checks and error messages. For some reason I also added A-law and ?-law decoders. Forgot exactly why... but hey, they're small.
The WAVE format is seriously underspecified (at least by the documents that are publicly available on the internet) and it's a shame Microsoft never put something better out there. The language used in them is so loose at times, it's not surprising the encoders and decoders behave very differently. The Windows Media Player doesn't even support MS ADPCM correctly.
The patch also adds some hints to make the decoder more strict at the cost of compatibility with weird WAVE files.
I still think it needs a bit of cleaning up (Not happy with the MultiplySize function. Don't like the name and other SDL code may want to use something like this too.) and some duplicated code may be folded together. It does work in this state and I have thrown all kinds of WAVE files at it. The AFL files also pass with it and some even play (obviously just noise). Crafty little fuzzer.
Any critique would be welcome. I have a fork of SDL with a audio-loadwav branch over here if someone wants to use the commenting feature of Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/ChliHug/SDL
I also cobbled some Lua scripts together to create WAVE test files:

Sylvain proposed solution:
SDL_RWseek(RWops, 0, RW_SEEK_SET);
And it works, but i can use it my project, because it written in C# with SDL2-CS wrapper and there not export for macroses:
#define SDL_RWsize(ctx) (ctx)->size(ctx)
#define SDL_RWseek(ctx, offset, whence) (ctx)->seek(ctx, offset, whence)
#define SDL_RWtell(ctx) (ctx)->seek(ctx, 0, RW_SEEK_CUR)
#define SDL_RWread(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->read(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWwrite(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->write(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWclose(ctx) (ctx)->close(ctx)
Therefore, I suggest replacing this macros with functions so that they can be exported and used in bindings

Bug 3993 was "fixed" by #undef'ing bool. But this breaks C99's stdbool.h bool too.
For example, mpv's build fails with:
../audio/out/ao_sdl.c:35:5: error: unknown type name ?bool?
It seems ill-advised to be #undef'ing *anything* here - what if the code including SDL_cpuinfo.h actually wants to use altivec?
Daniel Gibson
Even though my game (dhewm3) doesn't use SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK, SDL_PumpEvent() calls SDL_JoystickUpdate() which ends up calling hid_enumerate() every three seconds, and sometimes on my Win7 box hid_enumerate() takes about 5 seconds, which causes the whole game to freeze for that time.

While trying to build Pixie lisp (https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie), which uses SDL for multimedia output, the mandelbrot example won't build. The problem is that internally pixie uses a templated function to dump a value, and gcc chokes because SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGA8888 is an anonymous enum.
I solved the problem locally by changing from:
enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
};
to:
typedef enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
} SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ENUM;
The net result of this change is that the enum containing SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* is no longer an anonymous enum and can now be used by a templated function.
This local change fixes Pixie lisp for me.
I did notice that you use the idiom
typedef enum {
... etc ...
} SDL_FOO;
elsewhere in your code, so that change to SDL_PIXELFORMAT doesn't look like it would have a negative impact.
Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.
If you enable this, you'll need to link with CoreBluetooth.framework and add something like this to your Info.plist:

SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface makes an internal call to SDL_GetColorKey which can return an error and spams the error log with "Surface doesn't have a colorkey" even though the original function didn't return an error.
