I just wanted to fix a simple compiler warning in SDL_ShowMessageBox on Windows (which Sam fixed recently) and ended up finding some issues.
Attached patch fixes these issues:
- Because Windows only reports the lower 16 bits of the control identifier that was pushed, the button IDs used by SDL (C type int, most likely 32 bits) can get cut off.
- The documentation states (somewhat ambiguously) that the button ID will be -1 if the dialog was closed, but the current code sets 0. For SDL 2.1, I think this should be a return code of SDL_ShowMessageBox itself. That will free up the button ID and it seems a more appropriate place for signaling this event.
- Ampersands in controls will create mnemonics on Windows (underlined letters that, if combined with the Alt key, will push the button). I was thinking of adding a hint or flag to let the users enable it, but that might have unexpected results.
- When the size of the text gets calculated, it doesn't use the same parameters as the static control. This can cut off text or wrap it weirdly.
- On Windows, the Tab key is used to switch between control groups and sometimes between buttons in dialogs. This didn't seem to work correctly.
Attached patch also adds:
- Icons. Just the system ones that can be loaded with the ordinals IDI_ERROR, IDI_WARNING and IDI_INFORMATION.
- A button limit of 2^16 - 101.
- Some more specific error messages, but they never reach the user because how SDL_ShowMessageBox handles them if an implementation returns with an error.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99
This is necessary because the Raspberry Pi is a strange beast, that believes
it has OpenGL support (through glX?) but generally has GLES2 support.
So when using the raspberry video target, we need to force this to default
to a GLES2 context, or by default SDL_CreateWindow() will fail, deep down
when it tries to load the proper GL library.
Fixes testsprite2 (and basically everything else that wasn't testgles2) when
run on a Raspberry Pi without a X server.
Please note that other targets might also need this filled in, the Raspberry
Pi is just the most prominent and readily-available System-On-A-Chip style
thing on my desk. :)
This is necessary because we need to see if GLES compat extensions exist.
All of this code (including ShouldUseTextureFramebuffer()) should be
revisited after 2.0.6 ships; ideally we don't make throwaway contexts if
we can avoid it...but maybe we can't. I hear Vulkan is pretty cool.
Fixes Bugzilla #3725.
This patch was originally written by Marc Di Luzio for glX and enhanced by
Maximilian Malek for WGL, etc. Thanks to both of you!
Fixes Bugzilla #3643.
Fixes Bugzilla #3735.

just for easier debugging issues in the own code...
SDL_CreateRenderer should maybe also use this macro

I'll go one better: it should have an SDL_assert().

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 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.

The attached patch adds support for KMS/DRM context graphics.
It builds with no problem on X86_64 GNU/Linux systems, provided the needed libraries are present, and on ARM GNU/Linux systems that have KMS/DRM support and a GLES2 implementation.
Tested on Raspberry Pi: KMS/DRM is what the Raspberry Pi will use as default in the near future, once the propietary DispmanX API by Broadcom is overtaken by open graphics stack, it's possible to boot current Raspbian system in KMS mode by adding "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" to config.txt on Raspbian's boot partition.
X86 systems use KMS right away in every current GNU/Linux system.
Simple build instructions:
$./autogen.sh
$./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
$make

SDL_GL_GetAttribute doesn't check if a video driver has been initialized and will access the SDL_VideoDevice pointer, which is NULL at that point.
I think all of the attributes require an initialized driver, so a simple NULL check should fix it. Patch is attached.
"In particular, only one VkSurfaceKHR can exist at a time for a given window. Similarly, a native window cannot be used by both a VkSurfaceKHR and EGLSurface simultaneously"

The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile:
- Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can
say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL
driver. (For bug #2570)
- Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum
OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145)
- Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL
driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the
hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X
is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145)
- Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds
the test to the VisualC projects.
With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.

The dummy video driver is not available on Mac OS X if SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL is set at library compilation time.
In src/video/SDL_video.c, there is a compile-time check in SDL_CreateWindow() for (SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL && __MACOSX__). When it succeeds, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL is always requested. Since the dummy video driver does not supply an OpenGL implementation, the error "No OpenGL support in video driver" is supplied to the user, and SDL_CreateWindow() is exited early.
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.
