Every other backend does this, so this should match, now.
It's possible this was harmless, but we can avoid the system call
and the (likely?) debug message when it fails, though!
So if Gnome/KDE/etc have a keyboard shortcut or titlebar decoration to
make any window go fullscreen (with the _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN flag on the
_NET_WM_STATE property), we update the SDL window flag.
Fixes#5390.
This makes sure the window doesn't have outdated values if you try to access
them (or call something that does, like SDL_SetWindowMinimumSize).
Fixes#5233.
The functions can go south if other operations are in progress, like
X11_SetWindowBordered, which might be doing something traumatic behind the
scenes of the window manager.
We can't make these tasks totally synchronous, which would fix the problem,
because not only can the window manager block however long it wants, it might
also decide to deny our requests without any notification, so we'd be waiting
forever for a window change that isn't coming. :(
Fixes#5274.
If the app requested a specific renderer, even if it's not the optimal path,
let them have it, because they might want to render with a specific GPU API
on top of the framebuffer pixels.
This fixes DosBox-X crashing on startup, which forces the hint to "opengl".
Now we see if we can create an SDL_Renderer, and if that renderer reports
itself as "accelerated," and added some initial heuristics to the OpenGL
renderer to make better decisions about what qualifies as "accelerated."
This adds some FIXMEs that might be merely hypothetical, and removes the
old OpenGL checks from the video subsystem that probably weren't meaningful
in modern times. This will definitely need to improve the existing list
in the GL renderer, to catch things like llvmpipe, etc.
Reference issue #4624.
This prevents SDL from making an OpenGL context and maybe throwing it away
immediately by default. It will now only do it when trying to request a
window framebuffer directly, or creating an SDL_Renderer with the "software"
backend, which makes that request itself.
The way SDL decides if it should use a "texture framebuffer" needs dramatic
updating, but this solves the immediate problem.
Reference Issue #4624.
GLES2 always has them, and they work without hacks on Emscripten, unlike
client-side arrays.
I cleaned it up slightly, but this patch was mostly written by @bing2008.
Fixes#5258.
GitHub Actions is a 64-bit Ubuntu instance. It was only using the 32-bit
binaries because our buildbot put this on the 32-bit Linux host to spread
the CPU load around more evenly.
This is to workaround systems where we hang in playback because the buffer
does not report the space for whatever reason. The system will instead block
in PlayDevice, which always immediately follows WaitDevice in modern times
so this works out, and it seems to keep the device moving forward.
For a future revision, we are either going to clean this up more properly,
or attempt to move to PulseAudio's pa_stream_set_write_callback() API, but
this will do for SDL 2.0.18.
Reference #4387 for discussion and further information.
This keep documentation future-accurate and more importantly: it will
produce correct results before we tag the official release in git, so
they'll be correct in the tag and the release tarball.
This means it now works with any CMake released since 2014 instead of 2018.
This was mostly just readding some special cases, and requiring 3.11.0 only
for Windows Stores apps, which isn't unreasonable. The biggest concern is
a Linux distribution not having a recent CMake; most other places will be
manually downloading and installing their own CMake.
Fixes#4930.
Note that this removes the timeGetTime() fallback on Windows; it is a
32-bit counter and SDL2 should never choose to use it, as it only is needed
if QueryPerformanceCounter() isn't available, and QPC is _always_ available
on Windows XP and later.
OS/2 has a similar situation, but since it isn't clear to me that similar
promises can be made about DosTmrQueryTime() even in modern times, I decided
to leave the fallback in, with some heroic measures added to try to provide a
true 64-bit tick counter despite the 49-day wraparound. That approach can
migrate to Windows too, if we discover some truly broken install that doesn't
have QPC and still depends on timeGetTime().
Fixes#4870.
Even without the thread, it'll do an initial hardware detection at startup,
but there won't be any further hotplug events after that. But for many cases,
that is likely complete sufficient.
In either case, this cleaned up the code to no longer need a semaphore at
startup.
Fixes#4862.
This will let us automate this so it's managed for us, and as things go
from development to official releases, the documentation will automatically
update!
