This allows all SDL code to take advantage of the atomic intrinsics on Windows, but doesn't cause applications just including SDL.h to pull in windows.h
Changed the CAS return value to bool, so it's efficient with OSAtomicCompareAndSwap32Barrier()
Added an atomic test adapted from code by Michael Davidsaver
The refactored tests were written in recognition that Mac and iPhone current working directories are usually not going to work. Resource directories are in bundles and write directories are restricted to certain areas. In theory, other platforms may have this problem too, hence the refactoring.
Also updated the Xcode iPhone project to use 3.2 as the Base SDK, but 3.1 as the Deployment SDK (for iPhone/iPad compatibility.)
The Mac OS X project has a new target called testsdl which builds the automated test. I looked at using Xcode's native unit test support, but the impedance mismatch between the existing automated test structure and Apple's was more than I could handle.
As such, the testsdl application is a full blown proper OS X application, which means it is a self-contained .app bundle. This immediately revealed some problems from the automated test. The largest problem was the assumption about the current working directory and where to find resources. (I suspect Windows may have a similar problem depending on circumstance.) To open resources, the test was looking in directories relative to the SDL source directory, but this will not work well with self-contained .app bundles and Xcode which can place its built applications almost anywhere. And for real-world situations, this is pretty useless anyway.
So I modified SDL_RWFromFile to do special things on OS X. First, it will look for a file in the .app bundle. If not found, it will fallback and just call fopen as it used to do.
I also had to modify the automated test itself because it had a contrieved test which called fopen directly to do read from an existing FILE pointer. In addition, there was a write test. Since a .app bundle is likely going to be read-only, I added a special case for OS X to write to NSTemporaryDirectory.
I expect these changes should work for both Mac and iPhone OS (which includes iPad).
I will update the iPhone Xcode project next.

* Switched event type to enum (int32)
* Switched polling by mask to polling by type range
* Added SDL_RegisterEvents() to allow dynamic user event registration
* Spread events out to allow inserting new related events without breaking binary compatibility
* Added padding to event structures so they're the same size regardless of 32-bit compiler structure packing settings
* Split SDL_HasEvent() to SDL_HasEvent() for a single event and SDL_HasEvents() for a range of events
* Added SDL_GetEventState() as a shortcut for SDL_EventState(X, SDL_QUERY)
* Added SDL_FlushEvent() and SDL_FlushEvents() to clear events from the event queue
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.
Use the Cohen-Sutherland algorithm for line clipping which uses integer math and preserves ordering of clipped points.
Removed getopt() support in testsdl.c, replaced with simple argv scanning.
* 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.

Hello,
I maintain a cross-platform project that uses SDL.
One of the users who runs OSX has told me that he has problems with linking to
SDL due to missing -framework option.
I think that the problem is because of this:
'sdl-config --libs' outputs '-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL
-Wl,-framework,Cocoa'
All the options are passed to the linker except the last one. I think that the
good output should be just:
'-L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -framework Cocoa'
since those options (--libs) are passed to the linker, so the '-Wl' option is
redundant and possibly harmful in this very case
I use autotools with libtool to do the build...
Regards,
Matej
The linux code appears to be complete and *should* be the base of all Unix and GCC based versions. The macosx and win32 versions
are currently just copies of the dummy code. I will begin working on the windows version as soon as this check in is done. I
need someone to work on the Mac OS X version.
I'm afraid that this check in will break QNX (Sorry!)
/test/testatomic.c performs absolutely basic tests to show that the function work as expected. Need a second test to do more detailed tests.
/include/SDL_atomic.h provides declarations for all included functions.
/src/atomic/linux/SDL_atomic.c provided all the functions. On a generic built the 64 bit functions work, but they are emulated. On a build for -march=pentium and above the 64 bit functions use native instructions
/src/atomic/dummy/SDL_atomic.c emulates all the operations using SDL_mutex.h.
/src/atomic/win32/SDL_atomic.c is a copy of dummy
/src/atomic/macosx/SDL_atomic.s is a copy of dummy
These versions of SDL_atomic.c provide a frame work for building the library with a mixture of native and emulated functions. This allows the whole library to be provided on all platforms. (I hope.)
I hope this fits with the SDL philosophy of either providing a common subset or emulating when the platform is missing a feature.
I have not added dummy, macosx, or win32 to the build. They are there as place holders for future work.
I have modified congifure.in to compile sources in /src/atomic/linux. (The SDL configure.in file is an amazing piece of work and I hope I didn't mess it up. :-)
It also update configure.in to compile the linux version of the library. The three versions are all dummies
implementations that do nothing. They are being checked in as place holders. Mostly, I just wanted to get
place holders and the configure.in checked in.

Subject: New QNX patches
Please apply patch qnx4.diff, which is attached. What has been done:
1)Added back OpenGL ES renderer for QNX target. Added few corrections to
OpenGL ES renderer to let it work under QNX. OpenGL ES renderer do not
support textures under QNX, so I think some additional work must be done.
2) Added GL_OES_query_matrix extension to SDL_opengles.h header file, which
required by OpenGL ES 1.1 specification.
3) Added attribute clearing at the entrance of function
SDL_GL_GetAttribure(). Added error checking into the function
SDL_GL_GetAttribure(), because some attributes can't be obtained in OpenGL
ES 1.0.
4) Porting testdyngles to OpenGL ES 1.0 (1.1 has glColor4ub() and
glColor4f() functions, but 1.0 has glColor4f() only).
5) Added error checking after obtaining attributes using
SDL_GL_GetAttribute() function to the testgl2 and testgles.
6) Small correction to testmultiaudio with printing errors.
7) Added software and accelerated OpenGL ES 1.0 support into the QNX GF
driver.
Please remove ./src/audio/nto directory - it will not be used anymore.
Please create ./src/audio/qsa directory and add content of the archive
qsa.tar.gz into this directory. I rewrote some sound code, added support for
multiple audio cards, enumeration, etc. Added initial support for capture.
As far as I can understand SDL 1.3 is not supporting audio capture right now
? Sam, Am I right ? Or audio capture must be supported through the
PlayDevice routine ?
And last, please put file SDL_gf_opengles.c to the ./src/video/qnxgf
directory. It is OpenGL ES 1.1 emulation layer for some functions, which are
not supported by OpenGL ES 1.0.
From: "Mike Gorchak"
Subject: Re: About QNX support in SDL 1.3
Here is another batch of patches.
1) Makefile.in - added SDL_opengles.h header as header to install.
2) configure.in - Added special define to detect Common Lite OpenGL ES
library in case if Common library is not installed. Added check for
clock_gettime in libc (in QNX it is in libc).
3) SDL_config.h.in - Added SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_OPENGL_ES and
SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL_ES declarations for configure script autodetection.
4) SDL_opengles.h - Added GL_API definition if it is not defined. Added
extension GL_OES_draw_texture because OpenGL ES Renderer uses it without
declaration. Added GL_OES_vertex_buffer_object extension, which is supported
under QNX OpenGL ES. Added GL_OES_single_precision extension.
5) To the test directory I've added building OpenGL ES test applications
through the autotools suite. Was support for iPhone IDE building only.

I have implemented the above api for the opengl, x11, directfb and
software renderers. I have also renamed *TEXTUREBLENDMODE* constants to
BLENDMODE*. The unix build compiles. The windows renderer still needs to
be updated, but I have no windows development machine at hand. Have a
look at the x11 renderer for a sample.
Vector games now run at 90% both on opengl and directfb in comparison to
sdlmame's own opengl renderer. The same applies to raster games.
The diff also includes
a) Changed XDrawRect to XFillRect in x11 renderer
b) A number of changes to fix blending and modulation issues in the
directfb renderer.

Everything concerning the project is noted on the wiki:
http://wilku.ravenlord.ws/doku.php?id=start
working earlier this week.
I added some more trace code to SDL_x11events.c
In SDL_X11opengl.c I modified SDL_GL_GetSwapInterval() so that it returns a pretty good value even if you have the SGI swap extension instead of the MESA swap
extension. I just saved the value you set and return it too you.
following event can reset done to 1 and prevent the program from terminating when told to. I fixed the while loop that handles events to check for the state of done
after handling each event. That could leave some events unhandled when the program exits, but it ensures that the program will exit.

Here goes! Thanks for having a look. Don't hesitate to comment if
anything does not conform to your ideas.
One caveat: Committing this now may break compilability of some video
drivers - specifically, if they use any of the SDLK_* codes that were
obsoleted and moved into SDL_compat.h. I only tried Cocoa (which did
break, but is already fixed) and X11 (which didn't, but then its key
handling is #iffed out). If that's a problem, it may need to go into
a branch.

- SDL_Surface is a system memory representation of pixel data
- SDL_Texture is a video memory representation of pixel data
The concept of SDL_Surface with SDL_HWSURFACE is no longer used.
Separated SDL_Texture types by usage rather than memory type
- SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STATIC is for rarely changed pixel data,
can be placed in video memory.
- SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING is for frequently changing pixel
data, usually placed in system memory or AGP memory.
Optimized the SDL_compat usage of the OpenGL renderer by only
using one copy of the framebuffer instead of two.
available and to keep people form having to install yet another library I have added the essential parts of Xmu in
src/video/extensions/XmuStdCmap and an include file in src/video/extensions. The support makes use of standard X11 mechanisms to
create color maps and make sure that an application uses the same color map for each window/visual combination. This should make it
possible for gamma support to be implemented based on a single color map per application.
Hurm... it looks like "make indent" modified a few extra files. Those are getting committed too.
Added DirectInput joystick code, contributed by Glenn Maynard.
This fixes a problem with the Windows Multimedia joystick driver
not showing all 6 axes on a GameCube controller converter, which
was donated by Jacob Kolding.
The current SVN trunk is missing the SDLCALL specifier at numerous locations.
It has to be added for all (possibly user provided) callbacks.
I stumbled over this while creating a makefile for the OpenWatcom compiler for
Win32.
The proper name of Apple's operating system is "Mac OS X" not "MacOS X", as can
bee seen in many places, for example http://www.apple.com/macosx/). This
contrasts the naming of the old operating system, which was called "MacOS" and
today is often refered to as "MacOS Classic".
The attached patches fixes the misuse of the name "MacOS X" in both the SDL12
and sdlweb CVS modules.
From the autoconf obsolete macros documentation:
Macro: AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
Determine the system type and set output variables to the names of the canonical system types. See section Getting the Canonical System Type, for details about the variables this macro sets.
The user is encouraged to use either AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, or AC_CANONICAL_HOST, or AC_CANONICAL_TARGET, depending on the needs. Using AC_CANONICAL_TARGET is enough to run the two other macros.
From the documentation for the canonical environments:
case $target in
i386-*-mach* | i386-*-gnu*)
obj_format=aout emulation=mach bfd_gas=yes ;;
i960-*-bout) obj_format=bout ;;
esac
Note that the above example uses $target because it's taken from a tool which can be built on some architecture ($build), run on another ($host), but yet handle data for a third architecture ($target). Such tools are usually part of a compiler suite, they generate code for a specific $target.
However $target should be meaningless for most packages. If you want to base a decision on the system where your program will be run, make sure you use the $host variable.

if SDL is built with a non-cdecl calling convention, and it's just generally
bad practice anyhow.
Now programs explicitly call SDL_Quit() where appropriate, wrap SDL_Quit() in
a cdecl function where it can't be avoided, and rely on the parachute where
a crash might have hit the atexit() before (these ARE test programs, after
all!).

The test program you included in the latest version of SDL crashes on startup in Window (XP). The reason for this is that OpenGL functions on Windows use the __stdcall calling convention, not the C convention. Placing APIENTRY infront of the * operator solves this problem.

4. Fixed Photon detection algorithm.
5. Fixed HWSURFACE update function.
6. Added SDL_PHOTON_FULLSCREEN_REFRESH environment variable support for control refresh rates under Photon.
7. Added 640x400 fullscreen mode emulation via 640x480 (if videodriver not supports original 640x400 mode of course) shifted by 40 vertical pixels from begin, to center it. It's needed for some old DOS games which ran in doubled 320x200 mode.
8. Added available video ram amount support.
8. Added hardware surface allocation/deallocation support if current videomode and videodriver supports it.
9. Added hardware filling support.
10. Added hardware blits support (simple and colorkeyed).
And I've added to testvidinfo test color-keyed blits benchmark (maybe need to add alpha blits benchmark too ?). Currently Photon not supporting any alpha hardware blittings (all drivers lack of alpha blitting code support, only software alpha blitting exist in photon, which is hundreds times slowest than the SDL's one). So I've not added the alpha support. I suppose new QNX 6.3 will have the hardware alpha support, so when it will be done, I'll add alpha support.

Subject: New test for overlays
While writting QNX Photon Overlay code I've found that the existent overlay test application is not enough, it performs too artificial tests - it always moves/resizes the overlay's viewport, but in the real life that happens very rare. So I decided to write new test (commonly base on testoverlay.c code) and called it testoverlay2 :)
moose.dat - raw 8 bit paletted data of the small movie. (It was a moose.gif, also included in the attachment as reference, but not needed for this test, it is just for information). I cannot find, who created this .gif, so no credits this time :) But over inet I saw this gif zillion times, so I think we do not infringing somebody rights :)

Subject: New patches for QNX6
Here my patches for the SDL/QNX:
QNXSDL.diff - diff to non-QNX related sources:
- updated BUGS file, I think QNX6 is now will be officially supported
- configure.in - added shared library support for QNX, and removed dependency between the ALSA and QNX6.
- SDL_audio.c - added QNX NTO sound bootstrap insted of ALSA's.
- SDL_sysaudio.h - the same.
- SDL_nto_audio.c - the same.
- SDL_video.c - right now, QNX doesn't offer any method to obtain pointers to the OpenGL functions by function name, so they must be hardcoded in library, otherwise OpenGL will not be supported.
- testsprite.c - fixed: do not draw vertical red line if we are in non-double-buffered mode.
sdlqnxph.tar.gz - archive of the ./src/video/photon/* . Too many changes in code to make diffs :) :
+ Added stub for support hide/unhide window event
+ Added full YUV overlays support.
+ Added window maximize support.
+ Added mouse wheel events.
+ Added support for some specific key codes in Unicode mode (like ESC).
+ Added more checks to the all memory allocation code.
+ Added SDL_DOUBLEBUF support in all fullscreen modes.
+ Added fallback to window mode, if desired fullscreen mode is not supported.
+ Added stub support for the GL_LoadLibrary and GL_GetProcAddress functions.
+ Added resizable window support without caption.
! Fixed bug in the Ph_EV_EXPOSE event handler, when rectangles to update is 0 and when width or height of the rectangle is 0.
! Fixed bug in the event handler code. Events has not been passed to the window widget handler.
! Fixed codes for Win keys (Super/Hyper/Menu).
! Fixed memory leak, when deallocation palette.
! Fixed palette emulation code bugs.
! Fixed fullscreen and hwsurface handling.
! Fixed CLOSE button bug. First event was passed to the handler, but second terminated the application. Now all events passed to the application correctly.
- Removed all printfs in code, now SDL_SetError used instead of them.
- Disabled ToggleFullScreen function.
README.QNX - updated README.QNX file. Added much more issues.

Subject: SDL-1.2.5 patch to add ARB_multisample support
Attached is a patch I have written for SDL-1.2.5 that adds ARB_multisample
support. I only have the X11 and Win32 video patched. The Win32 patch also
adds support for WGL_ARB_pixel_format, as it was required for getting a
multisample capable pixel format. No additional GL header files are required
to compile on either platform (though you need an up-to-date glx.h for X11).
Requesting a multisample pixel format is made possible using
SDL_GL_SetAttribute with the two new SDL_GLattr's I've added
(SDL_GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SDL_GL_SAMPLES). I've been using SDL in my
projects for quite a while now, so I am happy to contribute back to the
project. Now you can have and control FSAA in your SDL/GL apps at the
application level!

added help and options -mono to force monochrome RGB2YUB conversion and
-lum <percent> - luminance of image during conversion. Also rewritten code
which moves overlay into window. Now it depends on window size.
Also fully rewritten -scale option, image now scaling from 50% from center
of screen until border of window is reached - it really tests scaler, old
-scale test doesn't test downscale.

Subject: One more QNX patch
Hi !
- Fixed graywin test application. Added properly support for
window size not equal to 640x480.
- Added support for not aligned pitch of image in SDL_SWSURFACE
and SDL_HWSURFACE. Using Photon builtin alignes.
- Added memory clear after each malloc to avoid problems in the
future :)
- Removed unused variables and static variables, fixed some warnings.
- Updated readme.QNX file.

Subject: [SDL] A critical bugfix!
I discovered a problem with testgl.c which absolutely MUST be fixed! Not
fixing this bug immediately will be a great blow to budding OpenGL coders
everywhere!

Subject: New QNX patch.
Hi !
1. Removed warning (possible bug) with invalid type, passing to the function
in ph_WarpedMotion.
2. Rewritten handler of Ph_WM_RESIZE message, now works, but buggy (old
handler doesn't work at all).
3. Added stub handler for Ph_WM_MAX (maximize) message.
4. Added more #ifdef HAVE_OPENGL to disable OpenGL stuff when it not needed.
5. Added support for SDL_NOFRAME and SDL_RESIZABLE flags (in OpenGL windows
too).
6. Added cosmetic changes, if no SDL_RESIZABLE flag defined, disable resize
handlers in window border and maximize button at caption.
7. Fixed my bug with invalid arguments count passed to PtCreateWidget call.
8. Fixed some palette problems.
9. Updated README.QNX file.
And I changed testgl.c test application:
10. Added in testgl.c application support for SDL_NOFRAME flag and
option -noframe.

Subject: SDL/OSX: Joystick; Better key handling
I just finished implementing improved keyhandling for OS X (in fact
the code should be easily ported to the "normal" MacOS part of SDL, I
just had no chance yet). Works like this:
First init the mapping table statically like before. Them, it queries
the OS for the "official" key table, then iterates over all 127
scancode and gets the associates ascii code. It ignores everythng
below 32 (has to, as it would lead to many problems if we did not...
e.g. both ESC and NUM LOCk produce an ascii code 27 on my keyboard),
and all stuff above 127 is mapped to SDLK_WORLD_* simply in the order
it is encountered.
In addition, caps lock is now working, too.
The code work flawless for me, but since I only have one keyboard, I
may have not encountered some serious problem... but I am pretty
confident that it is better than the old code in most cases.
The joystick driver works fine for me, too. I think it can be added
to CVS already. It would simply be helpful if more people would test
it. Hm, I wonder if Maelstrom or GLTron has Joystick support? That
would be a wonderful test application :)
I also took the liberty of modifying some text files like BUGS,
README.CVS, README.MacOSX (which now contains the OS X docs I long
promised)
