We would like to add a switch (define) that allows us to compile Angle statically with SDL. That is, getting rid of the OpenGL DLL. Usually you need OpenGL to be loaded dynamically as DLL because implementation is provided by the system but no need with Angle.
Only 2 files need modification and it shouldn't affect current behaivor:
include/SDL_egl.h and src/video/SDL_egl.c, as in here
https://github.com/native-toolkit/sdl/pull/10/files
The flag name could be SDL_VIDEO_STATIC_ANGLE (instead of NATIVE_TOOLKIT_STATIC_ANGLE) as discussed here https://github.com/native-toolkit/sdl/pull/10
We have tested this with both Windows and UWP, using NME engine (https://github.com/haxenme/nme).
Releated issue: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1820
This fixes a strange corner case (notes appended below), and should be
safe to do anyhow.
Fixes Bugzilla #3674.
"I did more tests.
It appears the bug only happens if there is
another window on the screen that has "always
on top" property. For me it is xawtv - it is
always opened in a screen corner. Closing
xawtv or removing "always on top" property
from it makes the problem to go away.
Plus, it doesn't appear like the buttons are
not delivered at all. It appears that instead
the button presses are delivered on some mouse
positions, but not delivered when you move the
mouse to other part of the window... So this is
really weird and is likely somewhere deep in the
Xorg.
Maybe somehow it happens that the cursor is
actually above the xawtv window, but, because
my app uses grab, it is not visible there, and
in that case the events are not delivered to
my app?
But with my patch the button events are
always delivered flawlessly, it seems.
Hmm, and that indeed seems to explain my problem:
if the mask is set properly and my app uses
grab, then, even if the mouse is above some
other window, the events would still be delivered
to the grabbing app, which is what actually wanted
because my app uses relative mouse mode, so it
doesn't know the pointer can cross some other window
(my app draws the pointer itself).
So my current theory is that my patch only enforces
the mouse grab, which otherwise can be tricked by
some other window preventing the button events
delivery (but motion events are still delivered
via xinput2, which makes it all look very obscure)."
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.

With the system dialog font set to Arial or Tahoma or another variable-width font, everything works just as expected. When using a fixed-width font, like Courier or DejaVu Sans Mono, the text gets cut off. Example screenshots attached.

I implemented precise scrolling events. I have been through all the folders in /src/video/[platform] to implement where possible. This works on OS X, but I can't speak for others. Build farm will figure that out, I guess. I think this patch should introduce precise scrolling on OS X, Wayland, Mir, Windows, Android, Nacl, Windows RT.
The way I provide precise scrolling events is by adding two float fields to the SDL_MouseWheelScrollEvent datastructure, called "preciseX" and "preciseY". The old integer fields "x" and "y" are still present. The idea is that every platform specific code normalises the scroll amounts and forwards them to the SDL_SendMouseWheel function. It is this function that will now accumulate these (using a static variable, as I have seen how it was implemented in the Windows specific code) and once we hit a unit size, set the traditional integer "x" and "y" fields.
I believe this is pretty solid way of doing it, although I'm not the expert here.
There is also a fix in the patch for a typo recently introduced, that might need to be taken away by the time anybody merges this in. There is also a file in Nacl which I have stripped a horrible amount of trailing whitespaces. (Leave that part out if you want).

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.
src/audio/bsd/SDL_bsdaudio.c
src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

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().

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.

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.

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!

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.

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)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb766e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb74e2000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb74a0000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb749a000)
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)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7367000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7325000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb731f000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7305000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb72fc000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb72dc000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb72d9000)
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.

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).

I removed all the static variables from SDLActivity.java
Updated all the SDL_android.c jni calls as well
I added a new function to SDL_android.c/ h
void Android_JNI_SeparateEventsHint(const char* c);
This is called by SDL_androidtouch.c so that this TU doesn't need to call any JNI functions.
