These fixes are lumped into two categories:
1. add new file, SDL_dataqueue.c, to UWP/WinRT build-inputs (via MSVC project
files)
2. implement a temporary, hack-fix for a build error in SDL_xinputjoystick.c.
Win32's Raw Input APIs are, unfortunately, not available for use in UWP/WinRT
APIs. There does appear to be a replacement API, available in the
Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice namespace.
This fix should be sufficient to get SDL compiling again, without affecting
Win32 builds, however using the UWP/WinRT API (in UWP/WinRT builds) would
almost certainly be better (for UWP/WinRT builds).
TODO: research Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice, and use that if and as
appropriate.
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
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
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.
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().
