In some cases, it can be useful to have the KMSDRM backend even if it cannot
be used for rendering. An app may want to use SDL for input processing while
using another rendering API (such as an MMAL overlay on Raspberry Pi) or
using its own code to render to DRM overlays that SDL doesn't support.
This also moves the check for DRM master to an earlier point where we can fail
initialization of the backend, rather than allowing the backend to initialize
then failing the creation of a window later.
Unlike Mutter and Sway, KWin actually checks the serial passed in
wl_pointer_set_cursor(). The serial provided is supposed to be the
serial of the pointer enter event, but We were always passing 0.
This caused KWin to drop our requests to hide the cursor.
Thanks to the KDE folks for spotting this in my debug logs.
Fixes#3576
Fixes SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer (and similar situations) not choosing a Metal backend. See #3991.
Passing an explicit backend into CreateWindow, eg SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL or SDL_WINDOW_METAL, will still prevent the window from being used with other backend types.
The DJGPP compiler emits many warnings for conflicts between print
format specifiers and argument types. To fix the warnings, I added
`SDL_PRIx32` macros for use with `Sint32` and `Uint32` types. The macros
alias those found in <inttypes.h> or fallback to a reasonable default.
As an alternative, print arguments could be cast to plain old integers.
I opted slightly for the current solution as it felt more technically correct,
despite making the format strings more verbose.

This patch fixes the warnings seen when compiling the Wayland backend. This will also be required in the future to avoid issues with compilation.

If you pass the C string directly to NSLog(), it will be garbled with Japanese and probably other language strings, or no log will be output at all.
NSLog("Hello, World!"); // => "Hello, World!"
NSLog("こんにちは、世界！"); // => No output...
Therefore, you need to convert the string to an NSString before passing it to NSLog().
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"こんにちは、世界！"];
NSLog(@"%@", str); // => "こんにちは、世界！"
Thank you.
For keys that are already down when we install the keyboard hook, we need to
allow the WM_KEYUP/WM_SYSKEYUP message to be processed normally. This ensures
that other applications see the key up, which prevents the key from being stuck
down from the perspective of other apps when our grab is released.
GNOME Mutter requires keyboard grab for certain important functionality like
window resizing, interaction with the application context menu, and opening the
Activites view. To allow Mutter to grab the keyboard as needed, we'll ungrab
when the mouse leaves our window.
To be safe, we'll do this for all WMs since forks of Mutter and Matacity (and
possibly others) may have the same behavior, and we don't want to have to keep
track of those.

I propose this new version for SDL_stretch.c that drops mprotect and asm
Code is similar to the StretchLinear, but the steps computation are kept similar to the nearest.
so that:
- it's pixel perfect with nearest
- as fast as asm I think
- no asm, nor mprotect
- benefit for all archicture
Ozkan Sezer
- adds MSVC __declspec(align(x)) support,
- disables asm if PAGE_ALIGNED no macro is defined,
- still disables asm for gcc < 4.6, need more info,
- drops Watcom support.
This adds SDL_SetWindowKeyboardGrab(), SDL_GetWindowKeyboardGrab(),
SDL_SetWindowMouseGrab(), SDL_GetWindowMouseGrab(), and new
SDL_WINDOW_KEYBOARD_GRABBED flag. It also updates the test harness to exercise
this functionality and makes a minor fix to X11 that I missed in
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/02a2d609369b
To fit in with this new support, SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_CAPTURE has been renamed to
SDL_WINDOW_MOUSE_CAPTURE with the old name remaining as an alias for backwards
compatibility with older code.
The grabbed_window field is superfluous now since SDL added the
SDL_GetGrabbedWindow() function, so it can be removed.
DirectFB_SetWindowMouseGrab() is also simplified because SDL handles ungrabbing
any previously grabbed window prior to calling SetWindowMouseGrab() now.
Compile-tested only.
SDL_SetKeyboardFocus(NULL) will lift any keys still pressed when keyboard focus
leaves the window, but then key repeat comes behind our backs and presses the
key down again. This results in an infinite stream of SDL_KEYDOWN events when
focus leaves the window with a key down (particularly noticeable with Alt+Tab).
This gives us flexibility to add others hints to control keyboard grab behavior
without having to touch all of the backends. It also allows us to possibly
expose keyboard grab separately from mouse grab for applications that want to
manage those independently.
These are explicitly written in C code rather than generated at build
time, so they weren't affected by changing how we invoke
wayland-scanner.

We support both the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver D-Bus API (same as the X11
backend) and the Wayland idle_inhibit_unstable_v1 protocol.
Some Wayland compositors only support one or the other, so we need both to
for broad compatibility.
Wayland compositors seem to have standardized on 10 units per "wheel tick" for
continuous scroll events, so we need to convert these axis values to ticks by
dividing by 10 before reporting them in SDL_MOUSEWHEEL events.
This is implemented via a low-level keyboard hook. Unfortunately, this is
rather invasive, but it's how Microsoft recommends that it be done [0].
We want to do as little as possible in the hook, so we only intercept a few
crucial modifier keys there, while leaving other keys to the normal event
processing flow.
We will only install this hook if SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD=1, which is not
the default. This will reduce any compatibility concerns to just the SDL
applications that explicitly ask for this behavior.
We also remove the hook when the grab is terminated to ensure that we're
not unnecessarily staying involved in key event processing when it's not
required anymore.
[0]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dxtecharts/disabling-shortcut-keys-in-games
Hiding the cursor doesn't appear to work reliably on GNOME when another window
steals mouse focus right as we call SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_DISABLE). This can happen
when the keyboard shortcut inhibition permission prompt appears in response to a
call to SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode() with SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD=1. The result is
that the default cursor is stuck locked in position and visible on screen
indefinitely.
By redrawing the cursor on pointer focus enter, the cursor now disappears upon
the first mouse motion event. It's not perfect but it's way better than the
current behavior.
Use zwp_keyboard_shortcuts_inhibit_manager_v1 to allow SDL applications
to capture system keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab when keyboard grab is
enabled via SDL_HINT_GRAB_KEYBOARD.

In some cases, need create EGLWindow with SDLWindow. In X11 i can get pointer to NativeWindow from **struct SDL_SysWMinfo wmInfo**
```C++
struct SDL_SysWMinfo wmInfo;
SDL_GetWindowWMInfo(ptSDLWindow, &wmInfo)
#if defined(__unix__) && defined(SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11)
nativeWindow=(EGLNativeWindowType)wmInfo.info.x11.window;
nativeDisplay=(EGLNativeDisplayType)wmInfo.info.x11.display;
#endif
```
than i can create EGLSurface
```
eglCreateWindowSurface(nativeDisplay, EGL_CONFIG, nativeWindow, SURFACE_ATTRIBUTES);
```
in Wayland i can do it with same way, just need pointer to **EGLWindow**, we already have pointer to **wl_display** from **SDL_sysWMInfo**, need add to **wl** struct in SDL_SysWMInfo another pointer to **struct wl_egl_window *egl_window;**. And in wayland backend, in function **Wayland_GetWindowWMInfo** return pointer to **egl_window** from **SDL_WindowData**
Now i use patched statically built SDL2 in port of Quake 2 GLES2 for SailfishOS (it use QtWayland):

This patch adds a written-from-scratch WSCONS driver for OpenBSD. It does not have hardcoded keymaps, and it features mouse support when wsmux is available.
For this to work, it needs access to the /dev/wskbd* devices which are not available to non-root users by default. Access to those can be granted by changing /etc/fbtab to give the logging user the ownership of those devices.

Exult (http://exult.info) has an editor app that uses GTK+2. Up to now we were using X's drag'n'drop to allow dropping of assets from the editor onto Exult.
There is now an experimental branch that makes use of SDL_DROPFILE. That works under X, dropping in Exult's SDL2 window puts the asset right at the spot you dropped at.
On macOS with native Exult and Quartz GTK+2 this doesn't work, the location of the drop is where the mouse was last tracked before you left the window (usually one of the edges, unless you tabbed out).
All we tried out pointed to the fact that the location update needs to be done by the dropfile event in SDL2, not by our own (which always only worked after the Exult window getting focus).
This patch adds this to SDL_cocoawindow.m and it works perfectly, passing the correct coordinates to our code (SDL_GetMouseState()).
- explicitly use UNICODE versions of DrawText, EnumDisplaySettings,
EnumDisplayDevices, and CreateDC: the underlying structures have
WCHAR strings.
- change WIN_UpdateDisplayMode and WIN_GetDisplayMode() to accept
LPCWSTR instead of LPCTSTR for the same reason.
- change WIN_StringToUTF8 and WIN_UTF8ToString to the explicit 'W'
versions where appropriate.

I tested building commit http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7adf3fdc19f3 on Mac Catalyst and found some issues:
* MTLFeatureSet_iOS_* enums aren't available under Mac Catalyst.
* OpenGL ES is unavailable under Mac Catalyst.
* Some Metal features are available under Catalyst but not iOS, such as displaySyncEnabled.
* Set Metal as the default renderer on Mac Catalyst
Attaching a patch that will make SDL2 build for Mac Catalyst.

For a window created with SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI, SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize will return the high-dpi drawable size even before any GL context creation happens. But SDL_Metal_GetDrawableSize will return the size of the window if the Metal view has not been created. This is confusing and inconsistent behavior.
An easy way to test this is to build testgl2 and testvulkan on macOS with the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI flag enabled during window creation. The GL2 program will report a drawable size of 2x window width and 2x window height, while the Vulkan program will report the window size.
This patch addresses the issue by falling back to using the content view dimensions if no Metal view exists in the window. (The code for this was taken directly from Cocoa_GL_GetDrawableSize.) With this change, the testvulkan behavior matches that of testgl2.
Note that I haven't tested for this issue on UIKit. It's possible a similar change will need to be made there too.

This patch adds support for OpenBSD to KMSDRM_LEGACY. Note that the patch won't be ported to the atomic KMSDRM backend because OpenBSD does not support atomic KMS properly yet.

I was trying the KMSDRM video backend with some very simple programs that were working ok on 2.0.12. The same code won?t work on the current dev branch and I get:
DEBUG: check_modesetting: probing ?/dev/dri/card0?
DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 connector, encoder and CRTC counts are: 4 5 6

DEBUG: no atomic modesetting support.
DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized

DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized
After carefully checking, the radeon driver doesn?t support atomic modesetting. That?s not the only problem : the same happens with the amdgpu driver if we disable Display Core (kernel parameter amdgpu.dc=0, which is required to get analogue outputs working).
This is a major regression in the KMSDRM driver.
Using atomic mode setting is great, but having no fallback to the "standard KMS" is bad.

With SDL 2.0.12 under MS Windows, if the window is partially offscreen calling SDL_SetWindowGrab(w, SDL_TRUE) works, but subsequent call to SDL_SetWindowGrab(w, SDL_FALSE) does not work.
I tested this in both real program, and a small test app, where unlocking cursor worked perfectly while window is fully in desktop bounds, but did not work if it was at least few pixels outside.
For the reference, following code is enough to reproduce the issue:
#include <windows.h>
#include <SDL.h>
int WinMain(
HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nShowCmd)
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Window* w = SDL_CreateWindow("", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, 640, 400, 0);
bool grabbed = false;
bool want_quit = false;
while (!want_quit)
{
SDL_Event event;
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
switch (event.type)
{
case SDL_QUIT: want_quit = true; break;
case SDL_KEYDOWN:
if (event.key.keysym.scancode == SDL_SCANCODE_SPACE)
{
SDL_SetWindowGrab(w, static_cast<SDL_bool>(!grabbed));
grabbed = !grabbed;
}
}
}
}
SDL_DestroyWindow(w);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
On older mac, where METAL Renderer METAL fails to create, it allows to switch back to OpenGL SDL_Renderer
by re-creating the window (METAL flags was previously persistent).
It's legitimate to have a surface with 0 width or height (null 'pixels' pointer).
But calling SDL_FillRects would wrongly set the error "You must lock the surface".
GetAsyncKeyState() and GetRawInputData() report the state of the physical
buttons without applying the user's primary/secondary mouse button swap
preference. Swap the buttons returned from these functions, so we expose a
consistent view of the buttons to SDL callers. This new behavior also matches
the behavior of macOS and X11 backends.
See the Remarks section of the GetAsyncKeyState() function on MSDN.
We should only perform the VK_LEFT, VK_UP, etc. mapping if none of the other
special mappings apply. This allows the scancode normalization for the number
pad to take place as intended.

The atom name that X11_GetAtomName() returns never gets freed, which result in a minor memory leak (14 bytes?) every time the user drops a file on a window.
You can see the line in question here:

Fix: call XFree on name after the while loop.

This patch fixes a MSVC warning, which is dependent on the regional settings of the build system. Although the character is inside a comment and harmless, it is undesirable to disable the warning for this.
This allows one to build Raspberry Pi versions on an ancient version of
Raspbian and get both the KMSDRM and RPI video targets built into SDL, giving
maximum binary compatibility from linking against an older glibc, etc, but
also making one library that can access video on all RPi models and OS
releases.

Basicly there is problem and somewhat a solution: https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/setwindowmaximumsize-bug/28267
If you SDL_SetWindowMaximumSize() after SDL_SetWindowMinimumSize() with one of axes have the same value, function will have no effect.
This: (line 2144@SDL_video.c)
if (max_w <= window->min_w || max_h <= window->min_h) {
SDL_SetError("SDL_SetWindowMaximumSize(): Tried to set maximum size smaller than minimum size");
return;
}
May be changed to this:
if (max_w < window->min_w || max_h < window->min_h) {
SDL_SetError("SDL_SetWindowMaximumSize(): Tried to set maximum size smaller than minimum size");
return;
}
UnmapNotify event does not mean that window has been iconified. It
just reports that window changed state from mapped to unmapped.
XReparentWindow can unmap and remap window if it was mapped. This
causes unnecessary events - HIDDEN, MINIMIZED, RESTORED and SHOW.
These events are problematic with Metacity 3.36+ which started to
remove window decorations from fullscreen windows.
- SDL makes decorated window fullscreen
- Metacity removes decorations
- SDL gets UnmapNotify and exits from fullscreen
- Metacity re-adds decorations
As SDL will also get MapNotify event it will try to restore
window state causing above steps to repeat.

It is a protocol error to attempt to create a pointer confine (i.e.
`SDL_SetWindowGrab`) while a locked pointer is active, and vice-versa.
Instead of aborting due to a protocol error, this commit makes SDL
gracefully downgrade locked pointers to confines when appropriate.
Previously the first card with non-empty connectors, encoders
and crtcs would be selected, however KMSDRM_VideoInit could still reject
it if the connector was not connected. This allow finding the first card

I noticed pt2-clone had problems with it's optional hardware mouse on the KMSDRM backend: cursor had a transparent block around it.
So I was investigating and it seems that a GBM cursor needs it's pixels to be alpha-premultiplied instead of straight-alpha.
A
lso, I was previously relying on "manual testing" for the cursor size, but it's far better to use whatever the DRM driver recommends via drmGetCap(): any working driver should make a size recommendation via drmGetCap(), so that's what we use now. I took this decision because I found out that the AMDGPU driver reported working cursor sizes that would appear garbled on screen, and only the recommended cursor size works.
This is handled in in the higher-level SDL_GL_LoadLibrary().
All uses of SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary (which calls the Only version) are just
target-specific wrappers for their own GL_LoadLibrary hook, with two
exceptions which now handle driver_loaded correctly (although it's
questionable if these init-if-no-one-did-it-correctly-already code blocks
should exist at all, fwiw).
Fixes Bugzilla #5190.
Instead of creating an X11 connection to test that X11 is available,
closing the connection, and then reconnecting for real, use the same
connection to handle both cases.
The X11 connection retry delay mechanism in the case where X11 is
dynamically loaded has been removed. It was only necessary to avoid
authetnication token reuse from the XOpenDisplay call that used to
exist in X11_Available. Now that this call is only made once, it
is no longer needed.
Also drop unused and inapplicable code from a comment.
***
The two are only ever called together, and combining them makes it possible
to eliminate redundant symbol loading and redundant attempts to connect
to a display server.

This small patch fixes the KMSDRM_CreateSurfaces() call in KMSDRM_CreateWindow(), that was segfaulting deeper into SDL internals because the windata->viddata pointer wasn't set before the KMSDRM_CreateSurfaces() call.
So that's what this small patch does.
Now, L?VE2D works perfectly well on the Raspberry Pi 3, instead of just segfaulting.

This patch is needed so programs that do this work as expected:
1) Start in a different video mode than the mode used by the system and then...
2) Try to go fullscreen with the mode originally used by the system via SetWindowFullScreen() with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag.
An example would be pt2-clone in https://github.com/8bitbubsy/pt2-clone.
This program does this:
Starts with:
video.window = SDL_CreateWindow("", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED,
SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, screenW, screenH, windowFlags);
and then, *IF* the user has configured it in fullscreen mode in its .ini, it tries to go fullscreen with the desktop mode:
SDL_SetWindowFullscreen(video.window, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP);
This sequence of operations is currently failing because SDL_SetDisplayModeForDisplay() in SDL_video.c fails because display->desktop_mode is not being initialized with its correct value: SetDisplayMode() in SDL_kmsdrmvideo.c will not be able to set the mode because it detects the mode to have a driverdata of 0x0 ("if (!modedata)") and rightfully returns an error.
So, the included patch fixes this small problem, and programs that first change the video mode and then try to go fullscreen with the system video mode will now work.
The patch simply fixes an small omission, but its really needed now that dynamic video mode changing was implemented on the KMSDRM backend.

As discussed here:
https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/question-about-implementation-of-sdl-updatewindowsurfacerects/27561
"As you can see this function [WIN_UpdateWindowFramebuffer, in src/video/windows/SDL_windowsframebuffer.c] calls BitBlt on entire screen, even though it accepts the rects. Rects variable is not even used in this function at all. Now my question is why is that the case?"
It currently behaves like a locking key which is pressed
when Caps Lock is enabled and released when disabled. This
means that apps that trigger events on Caps Lock key down will
only fire these events every other time Caps Lock is pressed.

It looks like refactoring of SDL2 internal API has broken SDL_RenderFillRect for DirectFB. In new version function SDL_RenderFillRect returns 0, but rectangle is not visible.
Replacing "count" with "len" in the argument list for SDL_memcpy in DirectFB_QueueFillRects fixes problem.
Arithmatic operations promote Uint8 to signed int. If the top bit of a
Uint8 is set, and it is left shifted 24 places, then the result is not
representable in a signed 32 bit int. This would be undefined behaviour
on systems where int is 32 bits.
It makes it clearer who owns the memory, and more reasonable to free it on
failure in the creating function.
(and, of course, pacifies static analysis.)

On the KMSDRM backend, there is no such thing as a desktop, yet some programs could (and DO) use SDL_GetGlobalMouseState().
So I think its good idea that, in KMSDRM, it returns the same mouse coordinates anyway as SDL_GetMouseState() would return. There is nothing else it could return, as far as I can understand, since there is no desktop anyway.
This small patch does precisely that.
Manuel Alfayate Corchete
The KMSDRM backend was doing things wrong because of some small (but important) misconceptions on how KMS/DRM works: to implement a largely broken non-vsync refresh mechanism, the SwapWindow() function was issuing new pageflips before previous ones had completed, thus causing EBUSY returns, buffer mismanagement, etc... resulting in general breakage on vsync disabling from apps, that would not allow vsync to work again without KMSDRM video re-initialization.
To further clarify, on most DRM drivers async pageflips are NOT working nowadays, so all issued pageflips will complete on next VBLANK, NOT ASAP (calling drmModePageFlip() with the DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC flag will return error).
The old code was assuming that can just issue a synchronous (=on VBLANK) pageflip and then pass a 0 timeout to the pull() function so we do not wait for the pageflip event, thinking that this will lead to correct non-vsynced screen updates from the program: That is plain wrong.
Each pageflip has to be waite before issuing a new one, ALWAYS. And if we do not support ASYNC pageflips on the DRM driver level, then we are forced to wait for the next VBLANK. There is no way around it.
I have also added many comments on the KMSDRM code. This is needed for future reference for me or others who may need to look at this code: KMS/DRM terminology regarding what SYNC and ASYNC mean in pageflip terms, and where to do certain things and why, is not trivial. It is not desirable or possible to invest time on researching the same concepts every time there is need to dive into this code. So please leave all these comments in the patch.

Display ends up taking only 1/4 of the screen area. It needs to call "setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:highdpi", like when creating a window the normal way.
wengxt
Due to the new major fcitx version is coming close, the existing code need to be ported to use new Fcitx dbus interface.
The new dbus interface is supported by both fcitx 4 and 5, and has a good side effect, which is that it will work with flatpak for free. Also the patch remove the dependency on fcitx header. Instead, it just hardcodes a few enum value in the code so need to handle the different header for fcitx4 or 5.
