Subject: SDL and capslock/numlock
Find attached a patch against SDL-1.2.13 for check of SDL_NO_LOCK_KEYS
environment variable. This differs slightly from other patches I've seen
in that it has 3 modes:
Disable CAPS-LOCK and NUM-LOCK supression of down+up key events,
suitable for games where the player needs these keys to do more than
just toggle. A value of 1 will effect both CAPS-LOCK and NUM-LOCK. A
value of 2 will effect only CAPS-LOCK. A value of 3 will effect only
NUM-LOCK. All other values have no effect.
This works for me and has been tested on:
- Fedora 8 64-bit
- SRCRPM SDL-1.2.13-1.fc8.src.rpm
- Emeny Territory Quake Wars (ETQW), native 32-bit commercial game

Subject: [SDL] [Patch] SDL-1.2 SDL_revcpy() asm patch for the cld flag
Hi,
as reported through the FreeBSD bug tracking system in SDL 1.2.13 (and
in the 1.2 branch, if I see that correctly) the SDL_revcpy() macro sets
the direction flag (std), but does not clear it afterwards (cld), which
is wrong according to the GCC and SYS V specs. This can cause some
weird side effects, which in turn can lead to memory corruption.
You can read the full report with a detailed description and test
program at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/120052
Attached is the submitted patch, which fixes the issue.
Regards
Marcus

In SDL 1.2.13 sdl.m4 the AM_PATH_SDL function looks for sdl-config.
It sets the PATH:
PATH="$prefix/bin:$prefix/usr/bin:$PATH"
but does not save the current PATH or restore the current PATH at the end.
This breaks the build on Solaris because we have GNU tools in another dir
(listed at the top of PATH) but non-GNU tools with the same names in
$prefix/bin. Later configure tests finds the non-GNU tools and quits in error

Hi!
I just managed to compile SDL for Windows CE using the "mingw32ce"
configuration of http://cegcc.sourceforge.net. Test programs work as expected
(except for those using signals -- no POSIX on mingw32ce), and I didn't yet
encounter any problem.
While it was a pain to get everything compiled and running, the changes to
SDL are actually quite small (see attached SDL-ce.diff).
Unfortunately, the win32 headers shipped with cegcc are not 100% correct, and
it feels quite messy to work around them in SDL code, so those headers will
also need to be patched. (Attachment: win32api-ce.diff)
Since I had to apply the libtool patch from the cegcc patch, I have also ad ded
my copy of aclocal.m4 for SDL. I had to modify the cegcc libtool patch to
use "lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all" for mingw32ce, otherwise libtool
would not recognize the import libraries as valid for dynamic linking.
All these changes should not affect non-WinCE builds, so they could be
included in mainline SDL.
If you need some docs, you can use this description for a cross-compilation
README:
1) get cegcc from http://cegcc.sourceforge.net
2) build and install the "mingw32ce" variant (see cegcc installation docs)
3) patch w32api-headers (if not yet included in cegcc)
4) setup environment (customize the first three lines as you like):
PREFIX=/opt/mingw32ce
TARGET=arm-wince-mingw32ce
BUILD=`uname -m`-pc-linux-gnu
export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PREFIX/$TARGET/bin:$PREFIX/local/bin:$PATH"
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include"
export CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include"
export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -I$PREFIX/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:- -O2 -g} -L$PREFIX/local/lib"
export HOST_CC="gcc"
export CC="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-gcc"
export CXX="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-g++"
export LD="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ld"
export AS="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-as"
export AR="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ar"
export RANLIB="$PREFIX/bin/$TARGET-ranlib"
export CONFIG_SHELL="/bin/sh"
5) build and install
./configure --target=$TARGET --host=$TARGET --build=$BUILD
make
make install
6) use (4) and (5) for any SDL-using software you want to cross-compile
7) copy $PREFIX/local/bin/SDL-1-2-0.dll into your executable directory on the WinCE machine

The static libs should include all the other libraries the dynamic SDL library
links with.
sdl.pc should include these so "pkg-config sdl --libs --static" works

When unicode translation is ON, pressing the escape key raise an NSBeep()
because the NSTextView interprets the key as a special command (in that case
impossible to interpret)... The NSTextView instance should replaced by
something subclassed so that doCommandBySelector: does nothing.
Example code :
@interface SDLTranslatorResponder : NSTextView
{
}
- (void) doCommandBySelector:(SEL)myselector;
@end
@implementation SDLTranslatorResponder
- (void) doCommandBySelector:(SEL) myselector {}

Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g.
man -k SDL_ |grep Video
After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates
the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce
entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages.
After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space.
After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing
SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL
with
SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL
everything works fine.
After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a
man -k SDL_
and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

When running boswars: http://www.boswars.org/ on a machine with intel
integrathed graphics it crashes when it tries to play the initial theora
splashscreen video:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
Serial number of failed request: 25
Current serial number in output stream: 26
boswars: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed.
Aborted
I recognized this problem from a few years back, when I encountered it while
working on the Xv blitter for xmame. The problem is that for some reason
creation the Xvport and XvImage succeeds, and failure (lack of resources / hw
capability?) is only indicated during the first XvPut[Shm]Image. I've written a
patch for SDL using the work around for this I developed for xmame (and which
is still used successfully in xmame after many years of usage).
I'll admit it isn't very pretty, but after investigating several possibilities
this was the best option, any other fixes would need changes to the SDL api and
abi.

Subject: [SDL] SDL Semaphore implementation broken on Windows?
Hi,
Over the past couple of days, I've been battling with SDL, SDL_Mixer and SMPEG to try to find an audio hang bug. I believe I've found the problem, which I think is a race condition inside SDL's semaphore implementation (at least the Windows implementation). The semaphore code uses Windows' built in semaphore functions, but it also maintains a separate count value. This count value is updated with bare increment and decrement operations in SemPost and SemWaitTimeout - no locking primitives to protect them.
In tracking down the apparent audio bug, I found that at some point a semaphore's count value was being decremented to -1, which is clearly not a valid value for it to take.
I'm still not certain exactly what sequence of operations is occuring for this to happen, but I believe that overall it's a race condition between a thread calling SemPost (which increments the count) and the thread on the other end calling SemWait (which decrements it).
I will try to make a test case to verify this, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to (threading errors being difficult to reproduce even in the best circumstances).
However, assuming this is the cause of my problems, there is a very
simple fix:
Windows provides InterlockedIncrement() and InterlockedDecrement()
functions to perform increments and decrements which are guaranteed to be atomic. So the fix is in thread/win32/SDL_syssem.c: replace occurrences of --sem->count with InterlockedDecrement(&sem->count); and replace occurrences of ++sem->count with InterlockedIncrement(&sem->count);
This is using SDL v1.2.12, built with VC++ 2008 Express, running on a
Core 2 duo processor.

branch : SDL-1.2
If an app requests a 24-bit opengl mode on a machine with a 32-bit desktop with
the windib video backend, then when exiting fullscreen the desktop resolution
is not restored
The reason this is, is because the windib backend restores the desktop
resolution when exiting fullscreen in DIB_SetVideoMode when it finds that the
last request was for fullscreen by checking the original flags on the video
surface. However, if the bits per pixel requested is different than current
surface, the video surface is recreated and the original video flags are lost.
So the check to see if we were exiting fullscreen fails.
below is a patch to SDL_dibvideo.c that solves the problem by using the
original flags in all cases.
thanks!

Subject: [SDL] SDL_INPUT_LINUXEV vs SDL_JOYSTICK_LINUXEVHello all,
There seems to be a slight inconsistency between the SDL_INPUT_LINUXEV
define (used in src/joystick/linux/), and SDL_JOYSTICK_LINUXEV defined
in include/SDL_config.h.
SDL_JOYSTICK_LINUXEV is never used, and SDL_INPUT_LINUXEV is not
mentioned in SDL_config.h.in (though set by the ./configure script).
This has the unfortunate effect of breaking the joystick detection on linux
boxes where /dev/input/event* is defined, but not /dev/(input/)?js*.
Trivial patch included.
Cheers.

Fix for some Cocoa memory management problems.
OK, I think I've nailed the memory management problems with the attached patch.
Too late for the release, but oh well. It shows that I haven't done much Cocoa
lately... took me a while to figure out that NSWindows don't retain their
delegate.
