Using a bitfield does not save storage space in this case, and also
stops pattern matching from working (switch() statement in C# or match
… with expressions in F#.)
joyGetDevCaps() is an extremely slow call that allocates memory.
WinMMJoystick is now caching its results for a significant speedup in
Joystick.GetCapabilities() and GetState().
The cache is updated whenever a joystick device is removed. WIP to
handle device added notifications.
This protects against a potential denial-of-service issue during mode
selection, where the platform backend will try to reduce AA level until
a supported mode is found.
When refreshing the AvailableDevices list, it is important to set the
original resolution on any DisplayDevices that were previously available
to allow the RestoreResolution() method to work correctly.
Creating a GraphicsContext with null parameters is not a guarantee that
we will get a dummy context that does not call any OpenGL functions. We
need to explicitly define and construct a dummy context that is safe to
use inside the designer.
Affects issue #49
Most OpenGL versions work with single-byte ASCII strings exclusively.
OpenGL 4.2 adds UTF8 encoded comments to GLSL shaders. Unfortunately,
UTF16 (.Net) to UTF8 conversions will usually modify the length of the
resulting byte array.
This is not currently possible to implement inside OpenTK, since the
binding generator does not know which length parameter corresponds to a
string parameter.
For this reason, and to maintain compatibility with older OpenGL
versions, we perform a destructive UTF16-to-ASCII encoding, which
replaces unsupported characters by '?'. This allows multi-byte post-4.2.
GLSL shaders to work as expected.
If non-destructive round-tripping of strings is required, the user will
have to use the IntPtr overload for string parameters and perform the
UTF16-to-UTF8 encoding/decoding manually. This need is very unlikely to
arise in practice.
