This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
This extends the display scaling mode to be global and work in terms of pixels everywhere, with the content scale value set on displays. The per-window property had some issues, and has been removed in favor of retaining only the global hint that changes all coordinates to pixel values, sets the content scale on the displays, and generally makes the Wayland backend behave similarly to Win32 or X11.
Some additional work was needed to fix cases where displays can appear to overlap, since Wayland desktops are always described in logical coordinates, and attempting to adjust the display positions so that they don't overlap can get very ugly in all but the simplest cases, as large gaps between displays can result.
Queries the "panel orientation" property on the connector and reports it in degrees of clockwise rotation via the 'SDL.display.KMSDRM.panel_orientation' display property.
This is provided by the kernel as a hint to userspace applications, and the application itself is ultimately responsible for any required coordinate transformations needed to conform to the requested orientation.
- Adds support for modal windows to Win32, Mac, and Haiku, and enhances functionality on Wayland and X11, which previous set only the parent window, but not the modal state.
- Windows can be declared modal at creation time, and the modal state can be toggled at any time via SDL_SetWindowModalFor() (tested with UE5 through sdl2-compat).
- Allows dynamic unparenting/reparenting of windows.
- Includes a modal window test.
The idea is that if you have a `typedef Uint32 MyFlags` that has a bunch of
defines that are meant to be bitflags, you can pack them into the same wiki
page automatically.
This only works with `typedef`s that are _not_ struct/union/enums, and it
only pulls in `#define` lines that immediately follow the typedef line.
Even a blank line or a comment will signal to stop including lines for
this page!
This is just stuff I noticed while working on the wikiheaders updates. A
thorough pass over all the docs would not be terrible, and maybe a simple
script to check for consistency (does everything have a `\since` on it? etc)
might be nice, too.
