The repro steps were this:
1. run an sdl2 winrt/uwp app, on Win10, v10.0.10586.0 or higher
2. hide the cursor, via a call to SDL_ShowCursor(0)
3. make the Win10 game bar appear, by pressing the Windows + G hotkey
4. observe that the mouse cursor appears, in order to interact with the
game bar (this is expected behavior)
5. make the Win10 game bar disappear, either by pressing the Windows + G hotkey
again, or clicking somewhere in the app
EXPECTED RESULT: cursor disappears, as game bar disappears
ACTUAL RESULT: cursor didn't always disappear
This workaround, unfortunately, requires that apps directly link to a set of
Win32-style cursor resource files (that contain a transparent cursor image).
Copies of suitable resource files are in src/core/winrt/, and should be
included directly in an app's MSVC project.
A rough explanation of this workaround/hack, and why it's needed (and
seemingly can't be done through programmatic means), is in this change's code.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.
DXGI fails to report any displays in at least one of the
"Windows App Certification Kit 10.0"'s tests for Store Apps. This was
causing SDL's video initialization code to fail, when the suspect test
("Direct3D Feature Test") was run, as DXGI was unable to report a
display-output at adapter-index 0, output-index 0.
The workaround that is applied here attempts to detect this case, then
use a hopefully-reasonable alternative means to calculate at least one
display output.
"UWP" appears to be Microsoft's new name for WinRT/Windows-Store APIs.
This set of changes updates SDL's WinRT backends to support the Win10 flavor
of WinRT. It has been tested on Win10 on a desktop. In theory, it should
also support Win10 on other devices (phone, Xbox One, etc.), however further
patches may be necessary.
This adds:
- a set of MSVC 2015 project files, for use in creating UWP apps
- modifications to various pieces of SDL, in order to compile via MSVC 2015 +
the Win10 API set
- enables SDL_Window resizing and programmatic-fullscreen toggling, when using
the WinRT backend
- WinRT README updates
This change-set fixes a lot of windowing related bugs, especially with
regards to Windows 8.x apps running on Windows 10 (which was the driver for
this work). The primary fixes include:
* listed display modes were wrong, especially when launching apps into a
non-fullscreen space
* reported window flags were often wrong, especially on Windows 10
* fullscreen/windowed mode switches weren't failing (they are not
programmatically possible in Win 8.x apps).
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
