The concern is that a massive int sample, like 0x7FFFFFFF, won't fit in a
float32, which doesn't have enough bits to hold a whole number this large,
just to divide it to get a value between 0 and 1.
Previously we would convert to double, to get more bits, do the division, and
cast back to a float, but this is expensive.
Casting to double is more accurate, but it's 2x to 3x slower. Shifting out
the least significant byte of an int32, so it'll definitely fit in a float,
and dividing by 0x7FFFFF is still accurate to about 5 decimal places, and the
difference doesn't appear to be perceptable.
Fixes problems launching Firewatch on Linux (which statically links SDL but
also dynamically loads a system-wide copy from a plugin shared library) with
a newer SDL build.
The change makes sure that SDL_vsnprintf() nul terminates if it is
using _vsnprintf() for the job.
I made this patch for Watcom, whose _vsnprintf() doesn't guarantee
nul termination. The preprocessor check can be extended to windows
in general too, if required.
Closes bug #3769.

Sorry, but it seems like Microsoft didn't fix the issue properly.
I just updated my Win10 machine, it now is Version 1803, Build 17134.1
I tested with SDL2 2.0.7 (my workaround was released with 2.0.8) and still got
lots of events that directly undid the prior "real" events - just like before.
(See simple testcase in attachement)
By default it sets SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP - which triggered (and on my machine still triggers) the buggy behavior. You can start it with -raw, then it'll not set that hint and the events will be as expected.
The easiest way to see the difference is looking at the window title, which shows accumulated X and Y values: If you just move your mouse to the right, in -raw mode the number just increases. In non-raw mode (using mouse warping) it stays around 0.
I also had a WinAPI-only testcase: https://gist.github.com/DanielGibson/b5b033c67b9137f0280af9fc53352c68
It just calls SetCursorPos(320,240); on each WM_MOUSEMOVE event, and it also
logs all those events to a mouseevents.log textfile.
This log indeed looks a bit different since the latest Win10 update: It seems like all those events with x=320 y=240 do arrive - but only after I stopped moving the mouse - even though the cursor seems to be moved back every frame (or so).
So moving the mouse to the right gives X coordinates like
330, 325, 333, 340, 330, ...
and then when stopping movement I get lots of events with X coordinate 320

If one creates a window with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag, and creates a render target with SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY, "linear"), and afterwards sets SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY, "nearest"), after minimizing the window, the scale quality hint is lost on the render target. Textures however do keep their interpolation modes.

pthread_mutex_trylock() and by the way, pthread_mutex_lock() do not set errno.
Pthread-methods directly return error code as int. See related man-pages for
details.

This is a quick pass at adding Linux RealtimeKit thread priority support to SDL.
It allows me to bump the thread priority to high without root privileges or setting any caps, etc.

I just wanted to fix a simple compiler warning in SDL_ShowMessageBox on Windows (which Sam fixed recently) and ended up finding some issues.
Attached patch fixes these issues:
- Because Windows only reports the lower 16 bits of the control identifier that was pushed, the button IDs used by SDL (C type int, most likely 32 bits) can get cut off.
- The documentation states (somewhat ambiguously) that the button ID will be -1 if the dialog was closed, but the current code sets 0. For SDL 2.1, I think this should be a return code of SDL_ShowMessageBox itself. That will free up the button ID and it seems a more appropriate place for signaling this event.
- Ampersands in controls will create mnemonics on Windows (underlined letters that, if combined with the Alt key, will push the button). I was thinking of adding a hint or flag to let the users enable it, but that might have unexpected results.
- When the size of the text gets calculated, it doesn't use the same parameters as the static control. This can cut off text or wrap it weirdly.
- On Windows, the Tab key is used to switch between control groups and sometimes between buttons in dialogs. This didn't seem to work correctly.
Attached patch also adds:
- Icons. Just the system ones that can be loaded with the ordinals IDI_ERROR, IDI_WARNING and IDI_INFORMATION.
- A button limit of 2^16 - 101.
- Some more specific error messages, but they never reach the user because how SDL_ShowMessageBox handles them if an implementation returns with an error.
This is commented out in SDLActivity.java, with the note #CURSORIMPLEENTATION because it requires API 24, which is higher than the minimum required SDK

The following patch defines _WIN32_WINNT_WIN7 if it is not already
defined in core/windows/SDL_windows.c, similar to what is already
there for _WIN32_WINNT_VISTA.

This bug was reintroduced by https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/fcf24b38a28a
The steps to reproduce are the same: run the "testrelative" SDL demo with "--info all",
connect a USB mouse with a scroll wheel, and roll the scroll wheel one "notch". You'll get log output like:
testdraw2[1644:67222] INFO: SDL EVENT: Mouse: wheel scrolled 0 in x and 0 in y (reversed: 1) in window 1
As far as I can tell macOS doesn't have an API for getting the number of "wheel notches"; I get a deltaY of 0.100006 for one "notch", and it's heavily accelerated (if you roll the wheel quickly you'll get large deltas). So NSEvent's deltaY is only meant to be used for scrolling a scroll view, with the given distance in points, not something like selecting an item in a game.
Here's a temporary patch that at restores the foor/ceil in Cocoa_HandleMouseWheel.
Not ideal, but at least it restores the ability to scroll one notch of a mousewheel.

http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/d702b0c54e52 resulted in an error and
two warnings when compiled with mingw.
1. Error from SDL_windowstaskdialog.h:
In file included from src/video/windows/SDL_windowsmessagebox.c:29:0:
src/video/windows/SDL_windowstaskdialog.h:23:54: error: expected ')' before 'HWND'
This is fixed by removing unnecessary annotations:
2. Warning from SDL_assert.c:
src/SDL_assert.c: In function 'SDL_ExitProcess':
src/SDL_assert.c:138:1: warning: 'noreturn' function does return
Indeed ExitProcess() is prototyped with DECLSPEC_NORETURN, but
TerminateProcess() is not. This can be rectified by adding an
exit() call in there. Do NOTE, however, that requires building
with a libc:
3. Warning from SDL_windowsmessagebox.c:
src/video/windows/SDL_windowsmessagebox.c: In function 'WIN_ShowMessageBox':
src/video/windows/SDL_windowsmessagebox.c:513:9: warning: 'nCancelButton' may be used uninitialized in this function
My lazy solution was manually initializing nCancelButton to 0.
This lets the message box have an icon. Unless the app has opted-in to using
the v6 common controls, though, this will fall back to the usual SDL message
boxes.
"What I have done is use TerminateProcess rather than ExitProcess.
ExitProcess will cause Microsoft's leak detection to continue, TerminateProcess
won't. It is also technically wrong to use ExitProcess in the case of aborting
the application.

This tries to load vulkan.framework or libvulkan.1.dylib before MoltenVK.framework
or libMoltenVK.dylib. In the previous version, layers would not work for applications
run-time loading the default library.

If SDL is compiled with the Audio subsystem disabled there are some undefined references to the functions ANDROIDAUDIO_ResumeDevices and ANDROIDAUDIO_PauseDevices in the file src/video/android/SDL_androidevents.c.
With the previous change, I get:
1> Creating library C:\projects\SDL\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.lib and object C:\projects\SDL\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.exp
1>LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __DllMainCRTStartup@12
Andreas Falkenhahn
In src/SDL.c there is this code:
_DllMainCRTStartup(HANDLE hModule,
...
The comment says that this is needed on Watcom C for some reason but why is it included then when building with Visual C as well? Shouldn't it be only included when compiling on Watcom C then?
I'm asking because this code caused me a lot of headaches because I'm building a DLL that contains SDL and I link using /MT and the _DllMainCRTStartup() symbol obviously led to lots of trouble but it wasn't clear to me where the problem was because all I got from the linker was:
LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
So I had to got through each and every object to see what the culprit was. See here for the full story:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25067151/lnk2019-unresolved-external-symbol-main-referenced-in-function-tmaincrtstar/48177067#48177067
So if it isn't necessary on Visual C, please just leave that symbol out on Visual C so that it no longer leads to any trouble. Thanks.
Most pthread functions return 0 on success and non-zero on error, but those
errors might be positive or negative, so checking for return values in the
Unix style, where errors are less than zero, is a bug.
Fixes Bugzilla #4039.

This patch allows the user to disable the behaviour that blocks the compositor through a new hint: SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR. This allows tools or other windowed applications to behave properly under KWin.

After updating from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7, Ibus not work anymore(fcitx still works).
Compare with 2.0.5, there are two issues in SDL_ibus.c.
1, SetupConnection always return SDL_FALSE in 2.0.7.
2, 'SetCapabilities' method should be called on 'ibus_conn'.
Patch attached.

dbus_shutdown() is a debug feature which closes all global resources in the dbus library. Calling this should be done by the app, not a library, because if there are multiple users of dbus in the process then SDL could shut it down even though another part is using it.
For example, i had an issue with this in mGBA, which uses both Qt and SDL, both using libdbus. I had a session bus, but no system bus (this was in a flatpak sandbox), and when SDL_DBus_Init() failed to init the system bus it called dbus_shudown() and continued on. This caused issues for Qt when running due to its session bus connections having disappeared beneath it.
"*(void**)pfn = LoadAddress()" would cast the NULL pointer in pfn to a
void**, and then dereference it, which wasn't what we wanted. Replaced with
a clearer cast operation.

SDL_rpivideo driver has 60 frames per second hardcoded in it, this is a problem for games that need to keep pace using VSYNC. I believe that I have found a solution to this. It is based on code in tvservice.c in rpi userland:

I have a DualShock 4 v2 controller with a GUID that's not in the database. There is an existing GUID that is almost identical, with the only difference that I can tell being the reported version string (mine being 8001, database is 8100).
Existing GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000000810000
New GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000001800000
When connected via USB, the GUID matches an existing entry: 030000004c050000cc09000011810000
This is meant to be the desktop-enhanced version of wl_shell. Right now we
just match what the existing wl_shell code does, but there are other areas of
functionality available to us now, that we can fill in later.
This uses the "unstable" API, since this is what ships in Ubuntu 17.10 (as
part of Wayland 1.10), but Wayland 1.12 promotes this to stable with extremely
minor changes. We will add support for the stable version when it makes sense
to do so.
This variable can be set to the following values:
"0" - The indicator bar is not hidden (default for windowed applications)
"1" - The indicator bar is hidden and is shown when the screen is touched (useful for movie playback applications)
"2" - The indicator bar is dim and the first swipe makes it visible and the second swipe performs the "home" action (default for fullscreen applications)
