Specifically: always on top, skip taskbar, tooltip, utility, and popup menu.
This is currently only implemented for X11.
This patch is based on work in Unreal Engine 4's fork of SDL,
compliments of Epic Games.
Notably: it sets the error string to inform you that your custom SDL is built
without xrandr support, which apparently has been a support issue for
Unreal Engine 4 developers.
This is often useful for SDL apps that aren't meant to be games: the
integrated GPU starts up faster, uses less power, and is often more than
fast enough.
Note that even with this change, the app will still default to the more
powerful, discrete GPU if one is available; an app that prefers the integrated
GPU will still need the NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching key properly
set in its Info.plist and Mac OS X 10.7 or later.

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/2kzt1wy3%28v=vs.120%29.aspx when one is using /MT for msvc compilations the libcmt.lib is already linked to the binary. This lib includes the symbol that is now guarded (see attached patch) by the #ifndef _MT.
I don't know if any joysticks report those usages for any buttons in practice, but other prominent Mac gaming software exposes them, so we might as well too.
xaudio2 is not linked against sdl but the sdk already handles dynamically loading (XAudio2Create is inlined and just loads a com object). Updated SDL_xaudio2.c
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
WinRT 8.0 (Phone and non-Phone) didn't offer an API to set an already-created
thread's priority. WinRT 8.1 offered this API, along with several other
Win32 thread functions that were previously unavailable (in WinRT).
This change makes WinRT 8.1+ platforms use SDL's Win32 backend.
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).
This change has also been tested as buildable + runnable on Win32 + MSVC 2015,
2013, 2012, and 2010. It may fix similar build errors (in XInput code) that
are appearing in MingW builds (on buildbot).
They were not needed internally since the switch to the common EGL backend.
Thanks to the SDL mailing list for pointing out that the functions seem unused.
The Y coordinate is flipped in Cocoa, so if you change the height, the window
will move and maybe clip against the screen edge if you don't adjust its Y
coordinate to match.
Possibly fixes Bugzilla #3066.
Unity's window manager is (legitimately, since it moves the client window's
position) sending one, and SDL was incorrectly trying to mask it out. Other
window managers (KWin, apparently) don't move the window and would hang here
indefinitely.
Fixes Bugzilla #3052.

Just a minor thing, but a huge outcome. All the other jni related functions already have those flags, but the nativeInit function lacks them - so it might be stripped away.
In extremely rare cases, probably due to misconfigured drivers, one might
see this happen, and rather than terminate the process, we try to recover
by reporting an error to the app.
Fixes Bugzilla #3068.
Note that extra steps must be taken when using glReadPixels to read the contents of the main OpenGL ES framebuffer on iOS, if multisampling is used. See the OpenGL ES section of README-ios.md for details.
There are platforms it isn't implemented on (and currently can't be
implemented on!), and there's currently no way for an app to know this.
This shouldn't break ABI on apps that moved to a revision between 2.0.3 and
2.0.4.
This relies on a successful SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) to work, since it's
silly to reproduce all the Xinerama/XRandR code in the message box parts. If
X11 is available but SDL hasn't been initialized, the message box will center
in the primary screen, which will be positioned weirdly on multi-head setups,
but this should fix the most significant common case.

When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
- disable compiling in XAudio2 support. We both need the DX SDK to make this code plus we need to work out the runtime dependency problem this code bring in on windows (needing the DX runtime installed).

- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

It loses the title and icon when window recreation fails. For instance, this may happen when trying to create an OpenGL ES window on a system that doesn't support it. But at that point, the title and icon have already been lost.
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().
If SDL_SaveBMP_RW() was called with NULL passed as SDL_RWops argument, different
values were returned depending on SDL_GetError(). If no error was set before the
call (or SDL_ClearError() was called) then 0 was returned. This is wrong because
nothing was saved. If an error was set before the call then -1 was returned.
This was fixed by directly returning -1 for NULL input instead of deciding based
on SDL_GetError(). No new error is set because this would otherwise override a
maybe more useful error set in SDL_RWFromFile() which is used by SDL_SaveBMP().
This is a Win32-specific fix for bug 2726. A WinRT fix for this bug was applied
separately, via https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/91f56dcad879
This fix applies SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID to 'mouse' events coming from touch devices,
but only when relative-mouse-mode is turned OFF. This bug is still present
when relative-mouse-mode is ON, however Microsoft does not provide documentation
on whether or not those input events (which come from WM_INPUT) can be
identified as touch-specific or not. Unofficially, that data might be available
(via GetMessageExtraInfo()), however this patch only uses MS-documented APIs.

Using X11 (on Debian Wheezy), SDL_GetModState() & KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS are not set to system state (numlock/capslock LEDs). Pressing numlock or capslock toggles the mod state, though if num/caps lock is enabled before starting the program it's still reversed from system state. This makes getting KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS in programs unreliable. This can be seen using the checkkeys test program.
The function that appears to have handle this in SDL 1.2 is X11_SetKeyboardState. The function call is commented out with "FIXME:" in SDL 2.
Using Windows backend through WINE; on first key press if numlock and/or capslock is enabled on system, numlock/capslock SDL_SendKeyboardKey is run and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS to the correct state. On X11 this does not happen.
The attached patch makes X11 backend set keyboard state on window focus if no window was previously focused. It sets all keys to system up/down state and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS via SDL_SendKeyboardKey to match system if needed. The patch is based on SDL 1.2's X11_SetKeyboardState.

Upon creating a window, a window property is added to it through the Win32-function "SetProp". This is done in the SDL-function "SetupWindowData" in file "src\video\windows\SDL_windowswindow.c".
Whenever you call "SetProp" to add a property to a Win32-window, you should also call the Win32-function "RemoveProp" to remove it before destroying that Win32-window.
While you might think that it's ok and that Windows will clean up nicely itself, it is not ok. It is against all Win32-API guidelines and is mostlikely a leak. Especially on external windows (CreateWindowFrom) you want to have things done right, not messy and leaky, affecting some other module. Even if SDL gets shutdown entirely that external window will now forever still have the "SDL_WindowData" prop attached to it.
The backing scale factor can change when the window moves between retina and non-retina displays.
The only other way to detect such a change is to compare the output of SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize or SDL_GetRendererOutputSize every frame, which is less than desirable, especially since the necessary app logic is likely already being executed when a window resize event is received.
This lets SDL-based apps respond to "Open With" commands properly, as they
can now obtain the requested path via a standard SDL dropfile event.
This is only checked on startup, so apps don't get drop events at any other
time, even if Android supports that, but this is still a definite
improvement.
Fixes Bugzilla #2762.
This apparently has fallout: the PS4 (and maybe PS3?) controllers apparently
report some bogus axes, but it won't change the axes we currently expect, and
thus the game controller config string is still stable.
Fixes Bugzilla #2719.
Since all device detection/removal happens on the main thread now, post events inline with when the status changes occur.
Also fixed rare cases when joystick API functions could return data about removed joysticks when called with a device index.

The optimization from Bug 11 added a code branch on cases where the source RGB masks match the destination RGB masks and a optimized blit function Blit4to4MaskAlpha that always overrides the source alpha info would be chosen. Unfortunately, the branch also errorneously took over the RGBA<->RGBA blitting cases where the source alpha info should be copied, while they would instead get overriden in Blit4to4MaskAlpha.
The attached patch fixes that by handling the RGBA<->RGBA cases correctly in that branch with the original BlitNtoNCopyAlpha as well as uses an optimized Blit4to4CopyAlpha along the same vein.
The expected use case is for games that are designed with multiple aspect ratios already in mind and leave optional margins on the edges of the game which won't hurt if they are cut off.
An example use case is a game is designed for wide-screen/16:9, but then wants to deploy on an iPad which is 4:3. Normally, SDL will letterbox, which will shrink things and result in wasted space. But the designer already thought about 4:3 and designed the edges of the game so they could be cut off without any functional loss. So rather than wasting space with letterboxing, "overscan" mode will zoom the rendering to fill up the entire screen. Parts on the edges will be drawn offscreen, but since the game was already designed with this in mind, it is fine. The end result is the iPad (4:3) experience is much better since it feels like a game designed for that screen aspect ratio.
This patch introduces a new SDL_hint: SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE.
Valid values are "letterbox" or "0" for letterboxing and "overscan" or "1" for overscan.
The default mode is letterbox to preserve existing behavior.
// Example usage:
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE, "overscan");
SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(renderer, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);

Remove the dependency of the calculation of Linux "phase" on "period",
currently the "phase" parameter is interpreted as a time shift, instead of a phase shift.
The Linux input documentation is not clear about the exact units of the "phase" parameter (see http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/uapi/linux/input.h?v=3.17#L1075 ),
but we're about to standardize the 'phase shift' interpretation into the Linux input documentation,
since this will ease the job of a driver to recalculate the effect's state when the user dynamically updates the "period" parameter.

It's not obvious from the general "haptic direction" description what the SDL direction actually means in terms of force magnitude sign,
currently its meaning is only reflected by the example.
This change does a few things, all with regards to the WinRT implementation of
SDL_GetPrefPath():
1. it fixes a bug whereby SDL_GetPrefPath() did not create the directory it
returned. On other SDL platforms, SDL_GetPrefPath() will create separate
directories for its 'org' and 'app' folders. Without this, attempts to create
files in the pref-path would fail, unless those directories were first created
by the app, or by some other library the app used. This change makes sure
that these directories get created, before SDL_GetPrefPath() returns to its
caller(s).
2. it defaults to having SDL_GetPrefPath() return a WinRT 'Local' folder
on all platforms. Previously, for Windows Store apps, it would have used a
different, 'Roaming' folder. Files in Roaming folders can be automatically,
and synchronized across multiple devices by Windows. This synchronization can
happen while the app runs, with new files being copied into a running app's
pref-path. Unless an app is specifically designed to handle this scenario,
there is a chance that save-data could be overwritten in unwanted or
unexpected ways.
The default is now to use a Local folder, which does not get synchronized, and
which is arguably a bit safer to use. Apps that wish to use Roaming folders
can do so by setting SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "roaming", however it
is recommended that one first read Microsoft's documentation for Roaming
files, a link to which is provided in README-winrt.md.
To preserve older pref-path selection behavior (found in SDL 2.0.3, as well as
many pre-2.0.4 versions of SDL from hg.libsdl.org), which uses a Roaming path
in Windows Store apps, and a Local path in Windows Phone, set
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "old".
Please note that Roaming paths are not supported on Windows Phone 8.0, due to
limitations in the OS itself. Attempts to use this will fail.
(Windows Phone 8.1 does not have this limitation, however.)
3. It makes SDL_GetPrefPath(), when on Windows Phone 8.0, and when
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT is set to "roaming", return NULL, rather than
silently defaulting to a Local path (then switching to a Roaming path if and
when the user upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1).

src/main/windows/SDL_windows_main.c:137:
cmdline = SDL_iconv_string("UTF-8", "UCS-2-INTERNAL", (char *)(text), (SDL_wcslen(text)+1)*sizeof(WCHAR));
I'm trying to compile an SDL2 application for windows using the mingw-w64 32bit toolchain provided by my distro (Fedora 19). However, even the simplest test program that does nothing at all fails to startup with a "Fatal error - out of memory" message because the mingw iconv library provided by my distro does not support the "UCS-2-INTERNAL" encoding and the conversion returns null.
From my little bit of research, it turns out that even though this encoding is supported by the external GNU libiconv library, some glibc versions (?) don't support it with their internal iconv routines, and will instead provide the native endian encoding when "UCS-2" is specified.
Nonetheless, I wonder why the native endianness is considered in the first place when Windows doesn't even run on any big endian archs (to my knowledge). And true enough, 'WIN_StringToUTF8' from core/windows/SDL_windows.h is used everywhere else in the windows backend, which is just a macro to iconv with "UTF-16LE" as source. Therefore it would IMO make sense to use this macro here as well, which would solve my problem (patch attached).

I added xdnd_version check to XdndPosition case also
under DEBUG_XEVENTS macro.
by this we can get the action requested by user.
I analysed further and found out that removing xdnd_version check at XdndDrop case is a bad idea because
in XConvertSelection API timestamp should be passed if(xdnd_version >= 1)
otherwise CurrentTime should be passed
So xdnd_version check is important at XdndDrop case
I made xdnd_version as a static so that it can store the version in other cases also.
iOS 8 introduces LaunchScreen NIBs which use autolayout to handle all devices and orientations with a single NIB instead of multiple launch images. This is also the only way to get the App Store badge "Optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus". So if the application is running on iOS 8 or greater AND has specified a LaunchScreen in their Info.plist, this patch will use the NIB as the launch screen. Otherwise, the code falls back to the legacy code path.
Note: Upon audit of the legacy path, it appears that it does not properly handle the UILaunchImages Info.plist convention. I've added comments inline to the code about this. However, in about a year from now, nobody is going to care about this path since everybody should be using LaunchScreen NIBs.
SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT allows WinRT apps to alter the path that
SDL_GetPrefPath() returns. Setting it to "local" uses the app's
OS-defined Local folder, setting it to "roaming" uses the app's OS-defined
Roaming folder.
Roaming folder support is not available in Windows Phone 8.0. Attempts to
make SDL_GetPrefPath() return a Roaming folder on this OS will be ignored.
Various bits of documentation on this were added to SDL_hints.h, and to
README-winrt.md
Further support regarding IME and on-screen keyboards is pending, some of
which might not be 100% compatible with other platforms, given WinRT platform
restrictions. An MSDN article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465404.aspx
indicates that on-screen keyboard display requires that the user first tap on
a Windows/XAML text control.
This change adds basic SDL_TEXTINPUT support, with input coming from hardware
keyboards, at a minimum, and without the need for XAML integration (which is
still pending integration into SDL, by and large).
This scenario can occur, for example, when the 4-finger touch sequence is used to switch spaces. the SDL window does not receive the touch up events and ends up thinking there are far more fingers on the pad than there are.
So the solution here is everytime a new "touch" appears we can through and check if there are any existing known touches by the OS and if there are none, abut SDL things there are, we simply go through and cancel the SDL touches.
Side affects.
- the "touch up" won't occur until the users sends a new touch (could be well after the actual release really did occur)
Windows Phone 8.0 either did not define, or provide access to, a 'RoamingFolder'
or 'TemporaryFolder' for apps to use. Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do, as does
Windows Phone 8.1. This change allows SDL-based Windows Phone 8.1 apps to
access these folders, via either the SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUNICODE() or
SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8() functions.
SDL_GetPrefPath(), which on WinRT, is based on SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8(), will
continue to return the app's 'local' folder, despite Windows 8.x
counterpart apps using the 'roaming' folder, in order to preserve compatibility
when 8.0-based Phone apps upgrade to 8.1-based Phone apps.
This patch makes sure that any SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN, SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP, and
SDL_MOUSEMOTION events, as triggered by a touch event in a WinRT app, set the
event's 'which' field to SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID. Previously, this was getting set
to the same value as events from a real mouse, '0'.
Thanks to Diego for providing information on this bug, and to Tamas Hamor for
sending over a patch!
SDL2 reports the following message when we type the "/" on br-abnt2 keyboards:
The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. \
To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list \
<sdl@libsdl.org> X11 KeyCode 97 (89), X11 KeySym 0x2F (slash).
That's because the corresponding entry in the scancodes table is
marked with value SDL_SCANCODE_UNKNOWN.
This commit fixes that adding the value SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH for this entry.
- Removed USE_GETTICKCOUNT code; it's never used now.
- Reduced the number of preprocessor checks for WinRT.
- Renamed timeSetPeriod() so it doesn't look like a Win32 API call.
An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid
this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio
callbacks not firing fast enough, etc.
