This is a little macro magic to use malloc() directly instead of SDL_malloc(),
etc, so static analysis tests that know about the C runtime can function
properly, and understand that we are dealing with heap allocations, etc.
This changed our static analysis report from 5 outstanding bugs to 30.
5x as many bugs were hidden by SDL_malloc() not being recognized as malloc()
by the static analyzer!
SDL_WinRTRunApp() is used on WinRT to launch a main(int, char **)-style
function. It has optional, and experimental support for launching content
inside a XAML control, backed by a main() function running on a separate thread.
This is provided via it's 2nd parameter, which can be a pointer to a XAML
control. (If NULL, XAML support will not be used.)
This change renames the experimental feature's parameter (to SDL_WinRTRunApp())
as "reserved", until such time as the functionality is ready for use. It will
likely be renamed again in the future, when running SDL on top of a XAML control
via a separate thread, becomes reasonably usable.
With this commit, you can compile SDL2 with Emscripten
( http://emscripten.org/ ), and make your SDL-based C/C++ program
into a web app.
This port was due to the efforts of several people, including: Charlie Birks,
Sathyanarayanan Gunasekaran, Jukka Jyl?nki, Alon Zakai, Edward Rudd,
Bruce Mitchener, and Martin Gerhardy. (Thanks, everyone!)
WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file.
SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible
orientations (landscape and portrait).
Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!
