Structure SDL_gestureTouch gets reallocated for every new added gesture but its never freed.
Proposed patch add the function SDL_GestureQuit() that takes care of doing that and gets called when TouchQuit is called.
Gabriel Jacobo
Thanks for the patch. I think it needs a bit of extra work though, looking at the code in SDL_gesture.c , I see that SDL_numGestureTouches only goes up, I think the right fix here involves adding SDL_GestureDelTouch (hooked into SDL_DelTouch) as well as SDL_GestureQuit (as you posted in your patch).

I've written a small patch that adds a small SDL_DuplicateSurface function to SDL. I've written the function as part of a larger (as yet unfinished) patch, but I think this function is useful enough that it merits inclusion in SDL on its own.

I'm interested in this bug as well. I have experienced it when trying to embed an SDL_Window into a FLTK application. To do this, I create a FLTK window (window inside a window - think video player) and then use SDL_CreateWindowFrom() on the inner most window's Xlib Window*. After which, I create a renderer.
In my situation I am using the FLTK GUI toolkit.
What I have experienced is that the SDL_CreateRender() will recreate the window in order to properly setup OpenGL capability. As part of this process, the window is hidden and a call is executed that waits indefinitely for an acknowledgement that the window was indeed unmapped. This is where my program hangs.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but should SDL2 not make Xlib calls that effect the Xlib Window in this situation (e.g. When SDL_CreateWindowFrom() is used)? The toolkit being used typically assumes responsibility and, I presume, tracks all Xlib Windows it creates.
On line src/video/SDL_video.c:1372 the comment associated with setting SDL_WINDOW_FOREIGN reads:
/* Can't destroy and re-create foreign windows, hrm */
Since I do not know the reason for hiding the window in the first place, the attached patch simply does not wait for a response when X11_XWithdrawWindow() and X11_XMapRaised() are issued by X11_HideWindow() and X11_ShowWindow(), respectively. I presume that the GUI toolkit (GTK, FLTK, etc.) has or will consume the acknowledging event as it is managing the Xlib Window (or it thinks it is).
I have tested the patch against hg 5c645d037de2 and I have successfully tested:
* Embedding the SDL_Window inside a FLTK application.
* Calling SDL_SetWindowSize() when FLTK resizes the window (e.g. dragging cursor on the edge of the window).
* Filling the renderer's default target blue and drawing a red fill square at the centre (exciting, I know!)
* Calling SDL_Quit() when the application terminates
I do not receive any Xlib erorr messages (BadWindow, etc.) in any of those situations.

Attached three patches, so these minor os/2 bits get registered mainstream:
1. SDL_syswm.h: add SDL_SYSWM_OS2 to SDL_SYSWM_TYPE enum
2. SDL_platform.h: recognize __EMX__ too as __OS2__
3. begin_code.h: set SDLCALL as _System for OS/2.

I am compiling with the Sun Studio 12 u2 compiler. There are multiple issues with the build, but this particular issue appears to be that it is illegal to declare a union of a struct of floats and a float. While GCC 4.8.1 does not flag this as an error, Sun Studio is much more standards compliant and strict, halting further compilation with an error.

Sorry for re-opening, but it turns out that the current interval is indeed not updated. I've just checked the source code of the 2.0.3 release again:
163 if (current->canceled) {
164 interval = 0;
165 } else {
166 interval = current->callback(current->interval, current->param);
167 }
168
169 if (interval > 0) {
170 /* Reschedule this timer */
171 current->interval = interval; // <-- this line is missing
172 current->scheduled = tick + interval;
173 SDL_AddTimerInternal(data, current);
174 } else {
According to the documentation: "The callback function is passed the current timer interval and the user supplied parameter from the SDL_AddTimer() call and returns the next timer interval. If the returned value from the callback is 0, the timer is canceled."
If I understand the text correctly, then the current interval should in fact be updated according to the returned value. Otherwise there would be a discrepancy between the next time for which the timer is actually re-scheduled and the value that's passed to the callback once the timer fires again.
This could be fixed by adding line #171.

The attached patch makes testautomation_sdltest.c more compatible wrt
LLONG_{MIN|MAX} macros and makes it to compile on older systems (e.g.
glibc-2.8) too, by replacing LLONG_{MIN|MAX} with INT64_{MIN|MAX}.
c.f.: bug #3494, where the same issue was described for SDL_test_fuzzer.c

An array defined like int xPositions[] = {-1, 0, 1, w-1, w, w+1 };
errors with Open Watcom: it strictly wants constants. Small patch
like below makes things more compatible.

This still happens with the current trunk version. (software renderer of testdrawchessboard.c)
When there is a rotation, the window size changed and the internal surface is marked as "surface_valid == SDL_FALSE".
And all further call fails.
SDL_video.c :
2478 void
2479 SDL_OnWindowResized(SDL_Window * window)
2480 {
2481 window->surface_valid = SDL_FALSE;
2482 SDL_SendWindowEvent(window, SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED, window->w, window->h);
2483 }
some error set to :
2233 return SDL_SetError("Window surface is invalid, please call SDL_GetWindowSurface() to get a new surface");
So, this seems to be the behavior of the API ...
In the loop() function of testdrawchessboard.c, we can recreate the surface/renderer :
65 if (e.type == SDL_WINDOWEVENT)
66 {
67 if (e.window.event == SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED)
68 {
69 surface = SDL_GetWindowSurface(window);
70 renderer = SDL_CreateSoftwareRenderer(surface);
71 }
72 /* Clear the rendering surface with the specified color */
73 SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
74 SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
75 }
And it displays correctly.

The attached patch removes SDLCALL attribute from SDL_BlitFunc() funcptr.
As far as I can see, *SDL_BlitFunc() is completely internal to SDL with
no specific calling convention requirements. The actual functions assigned
to SDL_BlitFunc seem to not have any calling conventions specified. So,
easy solution is simply removing the strict calling convention from the
type.
Sylvain
Here's a patch.
It tries to get the hint first. Resizable will allow any orientation. Otherwise it uses width/height window.
setOrientation method is splitted in static and non-static, so that it can be overloaded in a user subclass.
Some artefact observed :
surfaceChanged() can be called twice at the beginning. When the phone starts in portrait and run a landscape application.

linux_input module is disabled by default, despite the comments in source code that it is otherwise:
src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.c:
devdata->use_linux_input = readBoolEnv(DFBENV_USE_LINUX_INPUT, 0); /* default: on */
src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_video.h:
#define DFBENV_USE_LINUX_INPUT "SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT" /* Default: on */
When using the directfb driver, the linux_input module is suppressed unless the SDL app is started with "SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT=1" set in the environment. I recall seeing at one point that the directfb folks recommended using linux_input over the other input drivers, but I am having trouble locating this recommendation. In any case, I believe that this should really be defaulted to 'on' since it's vastly superior to the other dfb input drivers!
Jimb Esser
Note: This is using DirectInput, I have to disable XInput as that causes all but the first 4 controllers to be completely ignored by SDL (I can find no way to reconcile XInput devices with DirectInput devices, otherwise I would make a patch that accepts the fifth and later controllers with DirectInput...). XInput does not seem to have the problem below, only DirectInput.
I plug in 3 identical wireless Xbox 360 controllers, call them J1, J2, J3. Direct Input shows them as having GUIDs G1, G2, G3. I unplug J1, then J2 and J3 show up as having GUIDs G1 and G2! Not so "unique"... I start my SDL app when just J2 and J3 are plugged in, and open J2 and J3. Then I plug in a new controller, SDL sees that now G3 exists, assigns that a new SDL joystick instance ID, which I request to be opened, but G3 at this point is J3, which I already had opened! So I end up with two instances of J3 opened, and none of J1. "Re-"opening G1 would get the actual handle to the newly attached controller, but there's no current way to know this. This is clearly a bug or poor design in DirectInput or my wireless receiver drivers, but is a showstopping bug for my 8-20 player games (as soon as any one controller runs out of battery or goes to sleep and gets turned back on, suddenly things are busted requiring a restart (or, at least, a reinitialization of all controllers - the game can't go on)).
The solution I found is to use HID paths instead of GUIDs to uniquely identify joysticks. GUIDs are still needed to open a controller, however I have added code to re-find the GUIDs for all joysticks whenever a new joystick is attached or removed. This does now require opening of all joysticks (instead of just enumerating them), though if your app, like mine, is opening all of them anyway so that any can press a button to join, that doesn't change much (although perhaps they joysticks should be kept open in this case, instead of closed and re-opened). If your app only ever opens one joystick, this will do more work at startup than it did previously.

This eliminates the need to manually compile in SDL_main_android.c.
Instead, add "-lSDL2main -Wl,-u,SDL_main_dummy" when linking.
I don't know how the nkd-build process works, but unless it was
for some reason linking libSDL2main.a it should be unaffected.
Mark Callow
README-android says to copy or link the SDL source tree to the jni folder in your Android project. It is not desirable to have to compile SDL with every application; furthermore the Android NDK has support for prebuilt libraries.
Attached is script (to be put in build-scripts) that builds the Android version of the libraries. The script builds both the existing SDL2 module and a new SDL2_main module. This is a static library containing the code from src/main/android/SDL_android_main.c. Also attached is a patch for Android.mk adding this module.
Note that when building an application's native .so using this prebuilt libSDL2main, you must use a link option, such as --whole-archive, that forces inclusion of the code in the .so because the functions in SDL_android_main are called only from Java.

Seems to be a missing functionality. I want to set an icon from RC file. I cant pass MAKEINTRESOURCE(X) string to SDL_RegisterApp() cause string returned by MAKEINTRESOURCE string is not actually a string and SDL_strlen will crash. Moreover LoadImage seems to be loading wrong icon size. LoadIcon seems to be fine.
Edward Rudd
Device: Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 in Xinput mode.
Upon opening the joystick the values of the axes are queried via PollAllValues are not actually set on the device all the time.
This can easily be seen in the testjoystick or testgamecontroller test programs,as the testjoystick shows all axes in the center until one 'tickles' the triggers., and the testgamecontroller will show the triggers as 'on' until on 'tickles' the triggers.
Upon further research the culprit is the SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS hint. In the default value events are ignored until there is an active window, Thus in cases where the joystick system is initialized and controllers opened before the initial window is created & focuses, the initial values will be incorrect.
Here is my current workaround in the game I'm working on porting..
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS, "1");
SDL_GameController* gamepad = SDL_GameControllerOpen(index);
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS, "0");

When a 16-bit "565 format" surface has a colour key set, it will blit with correct transparency. If, however, it has its colour key set then is converted to a 32-bit ARGB format surface, the colour key in the converted image will not necessarily be the same pixel value as the transparent pixels. It may not blit correctly, because the colour key does not match the right pixels.
In my case, with an image using 0xB54A for transparency, the colour key was converted to 180,170,82; but the corresponding pixels (with the same original value) were converted to 180,169,82. Blitting the converted image did not use transparency where expected.
I have attached a test case. The bug has been replicated on both x86_64 Linux (SDL 2.0.2), and 32-bit MS C++ 2010 on Windows (SDL 2.0.0).

Hello, I began a little program with SDL2 on Linux in C, and when I call SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) I get an error and this is printed in the console:
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
I searched through Internet, and found that some people suggest to run 'xhost +' or to specify this in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config:
DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
I don't think an end user needs to know that...
But what bothered me is that first I started this little program in Pascal using the Freepascal compiler and it works. In freepascal you only use some thin header bindings in Pascal and then it links with the dynamic SDL library, so I don't understood why it worked with Freepascal and not in C.
I run ldd to the two generated applications:
Application in C:
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libSDL2-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (0xb76ac000)

librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7491000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77b3000)
Application compiled with Freepascal:
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libSDL2-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (0xb762a000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb74f3000)

libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb72d3000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7755000)
It seems that Freepascal is linking with libX11, libxcb, libXau and libXdmcp .
Linking my C application with libxcb solved the problem (linking with libXau and/or libXdmcp without libxcb didn't work). Linking with X11 links all the other libraries and works as well.
So I fill this bug report mainly to let you know about this. I don't know if it is a problem that can be solved on the libSDL side or not, but at least I hope it will help.
Hi, some tests:
1. Disabled XDM. Login in console and running 'startx'. The program works without having to link with X11.
2. Enabled XDM. Added 'DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1' to /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config.The program works without having to link with X11.
3. Enabled XDM without 'DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1' in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config . I get the authentication error unless I link with X11.

There's a slight mistake in the function "GetWindowStyle" found in file "SDL_windowswindow.c".
When a window is marked to be resizable, the resizable style is being added regardless of whether the window has a border or not. While for some arcane, hidden semantics this can be ok, it's still inconsistent in this case.

I'm using SDL to develop a video viewer for MATLAB. The window is scrambled while using thightVNC with its default mode of RGB656.
SDL does not correctly recognize the pixel mode.
I found a solution for this problem. The solution involves modifying
SDL/src/video/SDL_pixels.c
Adding the following "if statement" under case 16: of SDL_MasksToPixelFormatEnum resolves the issue:
if (Rmask == 0x003F &&
Gmask == 0x07C0 &&
Bmask == 0xF800 &&
Amask == 0x0000) {
return SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGB565;
}
I hope that this helps someone. I took me a while to figure it out.

When SDL_GL_GetProcAddress returns in error, the cause of the error is overwritten
in GL_GL_GetAttribute, reporting to the user "Failed getting OpenGL glGetString entry point", whereas the original "OpenGL library not loaded" never makes it
to the user.
Pushed a fix to:
f94cb13708
Note that the "OpenGL library not loaded" error looks like no root cause either,
and I'm still puzzled by the code path used: I'm forcing opengles2 renderer on
the x11 video driver on a rpi2, as in https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/3169, and although I now know that I must force the use of the RPI video driver instead
of the x11 one, I suspect even more accurate info can be given to user.

AZERTY keyboard layouts (which are the default layouts in France and Belgium) don't have the number keys (1, 2, ..., 9, 0) in the first row of keys, but ?, &, ?", ', (, -, ?_, ??), = (with small differences between the France and Belgian variants). Numbers are reached via shift.
On Linux and OSX, SDL seems to use the corresponding ISO 8859-1 codes (231 for ?232 for ?tc) as SDL_Keycode (but no SDK_* constants exists for those values!), while on Windows SDL seems to map those keys to SDLK_1, SDLK_2 etc, like you'd get on QWERTY.
I don't know how other platforms behave.
So we have two problems:
1. At least on Linux and OSX invalid/undefined SDL_Keycodes are returned
2. Different platforms behave differently (Windows vs Linux/OSX)
It's unclear what behavior is desired: Should SDL_* constants for those keys be introduced (and Windows behavior changed accordingly)?
Or should all platforms behave like Windows here and use the existing SDLK_1, ..., SDLK_0 keycodes?

Let's you have a SDL_Surface that has ColorKey, but no Alpha Modulation.
When this surface is duplicated with SDL_ConvertSurface function, the result has ColorKey and Alpha Modulation (BLEND, and Opaque 255).
I think SDL_ConvertSurface should strictly keeps the input format.
example
=======
SDL_Surface *input; // ... Set up a surface with ColorKey and no AlphaMod
SDL_Surface *output = SDL_ConvertSurface(input, input->format, input->flags);
// "output" surface has a ColorKey but *also* AlphaMod (BLEND, and Opaque 255).

"if we're already using libtool, why aren't we using it ?"; they've been inspired by the fact, that at that mark, neither libSDL2_test.a nor libSDL2main.a were being built correctly (not sure if it's fully broken or just because I've tested the out-of-tree build)
Simon Hug
The bug is in the GL_ResetState and GLES_ResetState functions which get called after a new GL context is created. These functions set the cached current color to transparent black, but the GL specification says the initial color is opaque white.
The attached patch changes the values to 0xffffffff to reflect the initial state of the current color. Should the ResetState functions get called anywhere else in the future, this probably has to call the GL functions itself to ensure that the colors match.
