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!)
On Android starting the application after a previous quit did not always work.
Android keeps VM processes for a faster restart and therefore the loaded *.so.

When creating a homebrew recipe for wesnoth, I discovered that the SDL image configuration routine does not detect libpng properly -- if you have multiple instances of libpng on your system, and you use environment variables to select an instance which is not in your system directory, the build can be broken, because it will run configuration tests against the system installed version, but deduce that it should use the filename of the system-installed version. In a vanilla build of wesnoth using homebrew, this results in segfaults at runtime, because you end up linking against two different versions of libpng, which is also needed independently of SDL.
The problem is essentially in the "find_lib" routine in the configure file:
find_lib()
{
gcc_bin_path=[`$CC -print-search-dirs 2>/dev/null | fgrep programs: | sed 's/[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/:/ /g'`]
gcc_lib_path=[`$CC -print-search-dirs 2>/dev/null | fgrep libraries: | sed 's/[^=]*=\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/:/ /g'`]
env_lib_path=[`echo $LIBS $LDFLAGS | sed 's/-L[ ]*//g'`]
for path in $gcc_bin_path $gcc_lib_path $env_lib_path /usr/lib /usr/local/lib; do
lib=[`ls -- $path/$1 2>/dev/null | sort -r | sed 's/.*\/\(.*\)/\1/; q'`]
if test x$lib != x; then
echo $lib
return
fi
done
}
Because the for loop goes over the system directories before the environment directories, any system-installed lib will shadow the lib selected via environment variables. This is contrary to the behavior of the configuration tests earlier in the script, which prefers the environment variable libs over the system-installed libs. The 'for' loop should instead be:
for path in $env_lib_path $gcc_bin_path $gcc_lib_path /usr/lib /usr/local/lib; do

I have checked that this bug also affects SDL 1.2.15, SDL_mixer and SDL_ttf 1.2, which all use this same "find_lib" routine. I have not determined if the bug affects SDL 2.0, which seems not to use this exact routine.

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.

"Horizontal" is not very precise, use "Positive phase" instead.
"Positive" because it's actually waveform(2*pi*t + phase) instead of waveform(2*pi*t - phase).

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.
