The OS/2 joystick code included an IBM header and was in violation of the license.
Ryan may put this back someday with a legal header. :)

Hi,

The problem with that fix is that it breaks IME events again. Maybe
we can handle keyboard events differently to prevent this issue?
Spending an hour reading MSDN, analysing SDL and another hour testing the reality on XP I am really wondering how patch r4990 could have ever worked in any situation. It's main effect is to break the unicode translation and causing spurious activation events!
Why does TranslateMessage(&msg) nothing useful? Simply because it does not affect "msg" at all! All keyboard events are dispatched without the slightest change (see MSDN). TranslateMessage() just appends additional WM_CHAR, WM_DEADCHAR, WM_SYSCHAR, WM_SYSDEADCHAR event messages to the queue. But I could not find any SDL event handling routine that catches these events and transforms them to proper SDL keyevents while eliminating the corresponding WM_KEYDOWN, etc. events. Thus any IME input like the '@' generated by "Alt + 6(Numpad) + 4(Numpad)" is simply lost.
But the situation is even worse! Up to r4990 the TranslateKey()/ToUnicode() calls did evaluate dead keys and did deliver proper key events for subsequent key strokes like '´' + 'e' resulting in 'é'. ToUnicode() needs proper key state informations to be able to handle these substitutions. But unfortunatly TranslateMessage() needs the same state information and eats it up while generating the WM_CHAR messages :-( Thus the current 1.2.14 breakes the partial IME support of previous releases, too.
The key state race condition between ToUnicode() and TranslateMessage() requires to avoid any ToUnicode() usage for receiving proper WM_CHAR, etc. messages generated by TranslateMessage(). (Yes - the '@' and 'é' appear as WM_CHAR messages when unicode is switched off).
The spurious SDL activation events are *not* caused by additional WM_ACTIVATE Windows messages! Besides DIB_HandleMessage() SDL_PrivateAppActive() is called by another source which I am not yet aware of - any hints?
Thus I do strongly recommend the deletion of the TranslateMessage(&msg) call as a quick fix.
A proper support of unicode and IME requires a clean SDL keyboard input concept first. Which SDL keyboards events should be transmitted to the app when the user presses '´' + 'e' ? Within the current unicode handling the first key stroke is hidden. Even though ToUnicode() delivers the proper key SDL does ignore it in TranslateKey(). Just the composed key event is transmitted to the app. That is what you expect for text input, but the app can no longer use keys like '^' as a key button because it will never receive a key event for it!
With a given concept it seems to be necessary to regenerate SDL key events out of the WM_CHAR, etc. events and to drop all related direct WM_KEYDOWN, etc. events while the remaining basic WM_KEYDOWN, etc. events would still have to result in SDL key events.
Anyway the source of the spurious WM_ACTIVATE should be located to avoid future trouble.
Greets,
Ronald

Another one for the "How did this ever work?" file: when
DX5_HandleMessage is called with WM_ACTIVATEAPP, it goes past the end
of the 2-element SDL_DIdev array and if there doesn't happen to be a 0
in the memory next to it, crashes. Patch against SVN attached.

The compiler complains that long is an incompatible pointer type for
[gl_context setValues: forParameter:] and CGLSetParameter. This only shows up
on x86_64, but it still might be an issue.

In 64-bit libraries, the fork reference is a different size than in 32-bit.
Apple has tried to help this transition by making a typedef called FSIORefNum,
but it is only available in Mac OS X 10.5 headers or later. I first noticed
this bug in Mac OS X's CD player code, and the patch is set to fix it
accordingly. This might also be an issue in SDL_QuartzVideo.m

I guess I don't have to mention that, but ALSA_WaitAudio() is
pure evil, and just broken. getpid() returns pids, not tids. You get
those via gettid(). But I'd recommend dropping that entirely. It's
just broken.

In ALSA_OpenAudio(): instead of setting period_size+n_periods OR
buffer_size I'd recommend copying the hwparams stuff before you do
this, then first try period_size+n_periods, and then apply it with
snd_pcm_hw_params() and check if that works. If it didn't you should
take the copy of hwparams and try setting buffer_size and apply that
via snd_pcm_hw_params() and check if that worked. And if that failed
too, then take the copy and don't apply neither period nor buffer
settings and see if that works.

an mprotect call was added to fix bug 528. However that results in a buffer
that allows writing and code execution. Ie the no-execute security features of
modern operating systems are defeated this way. Two mprotect calls are needed.
One to make the buffer executable but not writeable when done and another one
to make the buffer writeable again if the content needs to be changed.

src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c has some problems:
- test_bit() might break with strict aliasing
- test_bit() assumes array is Uint32 but its actually "unsigned long"
on 64bit systems sizeof(long) != sizeof(Uint32).
- the keybit array is too small
- the arrays are unitialized so the number of
detected buttons is quite random

For some people setting the period size works better (and is what SDL 1.2.13 did), but for most people it's the same or worse. You can use an environment variable to pick which one you want.

Apply patch to first unlock the CD before trying to eject it. Since
SDL doesn't seem to have lock/unlock primitives, this looks like the
right thing to do.
Fixes audio/tcd's eject function too.

I am using a headset on my monitor as primary sound output device. From time to
time it happens that I switch off my monitor when I leave my computer and
switch it on when I come back.
When doing so while wesnoth is running I get no sound back when I switch on my
monitor. There is probably good reason for that. Therefore I wanted to exit and
restart wesnoth. Unfortunately, wesnoth always hangs in this situation. It
looks like wesnoth can not be exited when the primary sound device vanished.
I created a backtrace of this situation (please see attachment).
