I noticed that when user switches from fullscreen mode to windowed mode and exits application while in windowed mode, Windows performs an additional change of display settings, even though desktop resolution is the same as current one. This causes short black screen to show up. The only way I know of avoiding this is to explicitly switch to default display settings found in registry. MSDN documentation for ChangeDisplaySettingsEx states:
Passing NULL for the lpDevMode parameter and 0 for the dwFlags parameter is the easiest way to return to the default mode after a dynamic mode change.
This should be a "long" which on a 64-bit system is likely to be > 32-bits,
causing XGetICValues() to write past the end of the variable (and stack).
Fixes Bugzilla #2513.
Some more recent compilers emit SSE aligned store instructions for the loop,
causing crashes if the destination buffer isn't aligned on a 32-bit boundary.
This would also crash on platforms like ARM that require aligned stores.
This fixes a crash inside SDL_FillRect that happens with the official x64 mingw
build.
The Windows Phone 8.1 'MessageDialog' API only seems to support two buttons,
despite the documentation for such mentioning support for three. Trying to use
three or more buttons leads to an exception being thrown. As such, any attempt
to use more than two buttons via SDL_ShowMessageBox (on Windows Phone 8.1) will
lead to no message box getting shown, and the call returning an error.
The Win32 MessageBox and dialog APIs are not available in WinRT apps, to note.
More extensive message dialog support might be available at some point, if and
when XAML support is more fully fleshed-out. I'm not certain of this, though.
When a Windows Phone 8.0 app was rotated to anything but Portrait mode, touch
input coordinates, as well as virtual mouse coordinates, were usually getting
reported as coming from the wrong part of the screen.
If a Windows Phone 8.1 device was rotated to anything but Portrait mode,
the Direct3D 11 renderer's output wouldn't get aligned correctly with the
screen.
This change removes the "Shared" component from the Windows 8.1 and Windows
Phone 8.1 project files, then renames the projects to use a file structure
that's the same as used for the Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects.
This change now places WinRT projects in the following directories:
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT81_VS2013\ -- Windows 8.1 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone81_VS2013\ -- Windows Phone 8.1 project files (NEW, as of this change)
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT80_VS2012\ -- Windows 8.0 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone80_VS2012\ -- Windows Phone 8.0 project files
Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects, as well as apps or libs that
reference these, should be unaffected by this change.
Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 based apps or libs that reference SDL's
projects directly will need to have their old references removed, then
replaced with new ones that point to the updated structure.
This is a step towards supporting "Universal" Windows apps, when building for
Windows Phone. SDL can now build against the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, and apps
linked to it can run, however further work and testing is required as some
previously Phone-only code appears to no longer be applicable for
Windows Phone 8.1. The Windows 8.1 code paths does seem to be preferable, but
should probably be tested and updated on a finer-grained basis.
If in doubt, use the Windows Phone 8.0 projects for now, as located in
VisualC-WinRT/WinPhone80_VS2012/
TODO:
- look at any Windows Phone specific code paths in SDL, and see if Phone 8.1
should use the Windows Phone code path(s), or the Windows 8.x or 8.1 paths
The Win32 APIs, VerifyVersionInfoW and VerSetConditionMask, are not currently
available for use in WinRT apps. This change primarily #if[n]defs-out some
calls to them.
