This API and implementation comes from the Unreal Engine branch of SDL, which
originally called this "SDL_ConfineCursor".
Some minor cleanup and changes for consistency with the rest of SDL_video, but
there are two major changes:
1. The coordinate system has been changed so that `rect` is _window_ relative
and not _screen_ relative, making it easier to implement without having
global access to the display.
2. The UE version unset all rects when passing `NULL` as a parameter for
`window`, this has been removed as it was an unused feature anyhow.
Currently this is only implemented for X, but can be supported on Wayland and
Windows at minimum too.
If you hide a window on Mutter, for example, the compositor never requests
new frames, which will cause Mesa to block forever in eglSwapBuffers to
satisfy the swap interval.
We now always set the swap interval to 0 and manage this ourselves, handing
the frame to Wayland when it requests a new one, and timing out at 10fps just
to keep apps moving if the compositor wants no frames at all.
My understanding is that other protocols are coming that might improve upon
this solution, but for now it solves the total hang.
Fixes#4335.
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.
Caleb Cornett's comments:
"A few weeks ago, Alex added a partial Metal API to SDL2:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/22c8e7cd8d38
I noticed it was missing a few features that would help Metal become a
first-class citizen in SDL, so I went ahead and wrote them! Here are the new
APIs:
1. SDL_WINDOW_METAL flag for SDL_CreateWindow(). This allows the programmer
to specify that they intend to create a window for use with SDL_MetalView.
The flag is used to ensure correct usage of the API and to prevent
accidentally defaulting to OpenGL on iOS.
2. SDL_Metal_GetLayer(). This function takes a SDL_MetalView and returns a
pointer to the view's backing CAMetalLayer. This simplifies things
considerably, since in the current version of the SDL_Metal API the
programmer is required to bridge-cast a SDL_MetalView handle to an NSView or
UIView (depending on the platform) and then extract the layer from there.
SDL_Metal_GetLayer automatically handles all of that, making the operation
simple and cross-platform.
3. SDL_Metal_GetDrawableSize(). This function already exists in the current
SDL_Metal API (and is used behind-the-scenes for SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize
on Apple platforms) but was not publicly exposed. My patch exposes this
function for public use. It works just like you'd expect.
Tested on macOS 10.14 and iOS 12.4."
Fixes Bugzilla #4796.
Using (1 << 14) instead of 0x4000 might be clearer for the maintainer, but
it makes it harder to look up these flags when debugging an app. The value
has to be written once by one person, the has to be read by tons of people
over and over.
