Hello,
I originally added pth support for threads in SDL 1.2 because on the Atari
platform we did not have any thread library.
I think pth support could be removed from SDL 1.3 for two reasons:
- Atari platform removed
- pth does not provides real (preemptive) threads, because it is user space,
and expect the application to call one of its function to give CPU to another
thread. So it is not exactly useful for applications, that expect threads to
run simultaneously.
Renamed SDL_RenderPoint() and SDL_RenderLine() to SDL_RenderDrawPoint() and SDL_RenderDrawLine().
Added API for rectangle drawing (as opposed to filling)
Added placeholder API functions for circles and ellipses ... I'm not sure whether these will stay.
Optimized software line drawing quite a bit.
Added support for Wu's anti-aliased line drawing, currently disabled by default.
The thread ID is an unsigned long so it can hold pthread_t so people can do naughty things with it.
I'm going to be adding additional useful thread API functions, but this should prevent crashes in people's existing code on 64-bit architectures.

The SDL_MouseMotionEvent struct has a field named "tilt" (currently marked "for
future use"), for tablet stylus tilt information. However, one value is not
enough for this, as tilt is two-dimensional. Reserving only one field for
future use is no good when you're going to need two, so there should be two
fields, tilt_x and tilt_y.

Patch to use stdlib.h with Open Watcom
Open Watcom 1.8 has <stdlib.h> so instead of patch the single part when stdlib
features are used we use directly the include file as with GCC.
* Added display parameter to many internal functions so video modes can be set on displays that aren't the public current one.
* The fullscreen mode is associated with fullscreen windows - not displays, so different windows more naturally have a mode associated with them based on their width and height. It's no longer necessary to specify a fullscreen mode, a default one will be picked automatically for fullscreen windows.
If type is ::SDL_HAPTIC_CARTESIAN, direction is encoded by three positions
367 * (X axis, Y axis and Z axis (with 3 axes)). ::SDL_HAPTIC_CARTESIAN
uses
368 * the first three \c dir parameters. The cardinal directions would
be:
369 * - North: 0,-1, 0
370 * - East: -1, 0, 0
371 * - South: 0, 1, 0
372 * - West: 1, 0, 0
typedef struct SDL_HapticDirection
{
Uint8 type; /**< The type of encoding. */
Uint16 dir[3]; /**< The encoded direction. */
} SDL_HapticDirection;
An unsigned int can't store negative values and I don't see an alternate way to
encode them in the docs or source. The best I have been able to come up with is
using a negative magnitude for the effect but this will only get me 2 of the 4
quadrants in the plane for 2d effects. I looked at the win32 and linux
implementations and I believe is is safe to use signed ints in the direction
struct. I am unfamiliar with the darwin haptics API so I don't know if it is
safe.
This one is quite puzzling. I found a partial workaround, but I don't fully understand the reasons yet.
First, the console is complaining about not finding a nib for MainWindow.
I tried removing the entry for this in the info.plist, and the message went away, but it didn't really change anything.
Second, I stepped through this with the debugger and broke up some lines. It seems that the basic act of calling
view = [SDL_uikitopenglview alloc];
or even
view = [SDL_uikitview alloc]
will crash the program. The debugger messages plus the stack trace make me think it's not finding the SDL_uikitview classes for some reason. But I don't understand why this would be.
view = [UIView alloc] will not crash the program.
For kicks, I added a new definition of a class called SDL_object which subclasses NSObject in the same files as SDL_uikitopenglview and then call
view = [SDL_object alloc];
This does not crash the program.
So, then I modified SDL_object to subclass UIView. No crash.
Next, I made SDL_object subclass UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> . This crashes.
So it is the act of conforming to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol that is crashing things.
I don't understand why it would crash on alloc though. I'm guessing either a delegate needs to be set somewhere or one of the required methods needs to be implemented. But in the former case, I would not expect a crash, but a silent message to nil and something else doesn't work. And in the latter case, I would expect a compiler warning and an exception thrown instead of a crash.
Anyway, my temporary workaround is to change the interface declaration for SDL_uikitview to look like:
#if SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD
@interface SDL_uikitview : UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> {
#else
@interface SDL_uikitview : UIView {
#endif
And then disable the keyboard support in the SDL_config_iphoneos.h file.
/* enable iPhone keyboard support */
#define SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD 0
