Previously, calling SDL_SendWindowEvent for a SIZED_CHANGED event would
filter the queue to remove RESIZED and SIZED_CHANGED events, so you don't
overflow the queue with obsolete data, but any RESIZED events would be
lost in this process.
Now we note if there was a RESIZED pending and replace it with a new
event using the same dimensions as the new SIZED_CHANGED event. This fixes
cases where an app is only listening for RESIZED events and thus might
lose important information in some cases.
Fixes#5925.
SDL_events_need_periodic_poll() and SDL_events_need_polling() are intended to allow the event loop to update joysticks and/or sensors if needed, however those systems only update when the SDL_update_joysticks and/or SDL_update_sensors variables are true. This change brings the behavior of these functions in line with if work will actually need to be performed.
This change allows the hints for AUTO_UPDATE to influence the polling behavior of the event loop such that an app can choose to update joysticks/sensors itself and avoid the expense of constantly sleeping and waking the event loop. Additionally in makes these functions marginally faster in some situations by not searching the active events.
Hint callbacks are called before the actual value in the hint is changed, so the functions SDL_AutoUpdateJoysticksChanged and SDL_AutoUpdateSensorsChanged were not actually properly updating their respective variables in repsonse to their auto update hint changing.
Instead, we pull the new hint value out of the value passed into the callback and use that to update the variables. Assume true on a null value as that was the previous behavior and it matches with the default values of SDL_update_joysticks/SDL_update_sensors.
* Xbox GDK support (14 squashed commits)
* Added basic keyboard testing
* Update readme
* Code review fixes
* Fixed issue where controller add/removal wasn't working (since the device notification events don't work on Xbox, have to use the joystick thread to poll XInput)
Here's an IRC dump that hopefully explains the issue this fixes:
> I'm debugging something odd where, for a libre game,
unvanquished.net (a FPS), relative mouse input in fullscreen is
buggy
> it's like, working mostly ok, but it has a weird
performance/cleanup bug
> after some time in relative mouse input mode, some time as low
as 15s, usually more, the SDL sends A LOT of relative mouse
input per frame
> almost all of which have xrel==0 && yrel==0
> by A LOT, I mean that after ~1min, it's usually in the
thousands per frame
> each frame, a while ( SDL_PollEvent( &e)) loop reads the
inputs, but it seems SDL is not clearing the list.
> one way to clear the list is to open the in-game console or
menu, which switches the input mode to absolute, then close it
which gets a working relative input mode (for some time at least)
> I've shown the issue to be present with SDL2.0.20 but not with
2.0.14 on my system
> some other players on Arch Linux (SDL2.0.20) report a possibly
related issue, where some keys seem to be pressed at random
> I've did some bisection on SDL master, and I've found that
there are actually two commits involved, one breaking it
totally (no input at all), and one fixing it partially (with
the problem described above)
First related commit that breaks it totally:
commit 82793ac279
Author: Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org>
Date: Thu Oct 14 14:26:21 2021 -0700
Fixed mouse warping while in relative mode
We should get a mouse event with an absolute position and no relative motion and shouldn't change the OS cursor position at all
Second related commit, that halfway fixes it:
commit 31f8c3ef44
Author: Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org>
Date: Thu Jan 6 11:27:44 2022 -0800
Fixed event pump starvation if the application frequently pushes its own events
Reverting the first commit did fix the issue for me, but would
probably reintroduce the bug it was fixing(?). This patch should
fix it for everyone hopefully.
https://github.com/DaemonEngine/Daemon/issues/600 is the upstream
bug, and contains some early investigation.
* Fixes for IME Composition Truncation + Addition of SDL_ClearComposition, SDL_IsTextInputShown
* Fixed: Documentation and code style issues raised during code review.
If a touch-down event is received for an existing touch-ID, that
probably means the operating system lost it, and that the missing
touch-up should be synthesized, to keep the client state coherent.
