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.
The flags parameter has been removed from SDL_CreateRenderer() and SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC has been replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_PRESENT_VSYNC_NUMBER during window creation and SDL_PROP_RENDERER_VSYNC_NUMBER after renderer creation.
SDL_SetRenderVSync() now takes additional values besides 0 and 1.
The maximum texture size has been removed from SDL_RendererInfo, replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE_NUMBER.
The pointer confinement protocol does allow attempted warping the pointer via a hint, provided that the pointer is locked at the time of the request, and the requested coordinates fall within the bounds of the window.
Toggle the pointer locked state and request the pointer warp when the required protocol is available. This is similar to what XWayland does internally.
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.
- Add a globally-accessible function to handle the parsing of filter extensions
- Remove the ability of putting the wildcard ('*') among other patterns; it's either a list of patterns or a single '*' now
- Add a hint to select between portals and Zenity on Unix
This adds HIDAPI support for DualShock 3 controllers on Windows, addressing the current absence of this feature in SDL. To utilize this functionality, the official Sony driver 'sixaxis.sys' must be installed. HID offers several advantages over DirectInput, including rumble support and the ability to control the LED lights that display the controller number.
This pull request adds an implementation of a Vulkan Render backend to SDL. I have so far tested this primarily on Windows, but also smoke tested on Linux and macOS (MoltenVK). I have not tried it yet on Android, but it should be usable there as well (sans any bugs I missed). This began as a port of the SDL Direct3D12 Renderer, which is the closest thing to Vulkan as existed in the SDL codebase. The shaders are more or less identical (with the only differences being in descriptor bindings vs root descriptors). The shaders are built using the HLSL frontend of glslang.
Everything in the code is pure Vulkan 1.0 (no extensions), with the exception of HDR support which requires the Vulkan instance extension `VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace`. The code could have been simplified considerably if I used dynamic rendering, push descriptors, extended dynamic state, and other modern Vulkan-isms, but I felt it was more important to make the code as vanilla Vulkan as possible so that it would run on any Vulkan implementation.
The main differences with the Direct3D12 renderer are:
* Having to manage renderpasses for performing clears. There is likely some optimization that would still remain for more efficient use of TBDR hardware where there might be some unnecessary load/stores, but it does attempt to do clears using renderpasses.
* Constant buffer data couldn't be directly updated in the command buffer since I didn't want to rely on push descriptors, so there is a persistently mapped buffer with increasing offset per swapchain image where CB data gets written.
* Many more resources are dependent on the swapchain resizing due to i.e. Vulkan requiring the VkFramebuffer to reference the VkImageView of the swapchain, so there is a bit more code around handling that than was necessary in D3D12.
* For NV12/NV21 textures, rather than there being plane data in the texture itself, the UV data is placed in a separate `VkImage`/`VkImageView`.
I've verified that `testcolorspace` works with both sRGB and HDR linear. I've tested `testoverlay` works with the various YUV/NV12/NV21 formats. I've tested `testsprite`. I've checked that window resizing and swapchain out-of-date handling when minimizing are working. I've run through `testautomation` with the render tests. I also have run several of the tests with Vulkan validation and synchronization validation. Surely I will have missed some things, but I think it's in a good state to be merged and build out from here.
