Adds functions to query the system's realtime clock, convert time intervals to/from a calendar date and time in either UTC or the local time, and perform time related calculations.
An SDL_Time type (a time interval represented in nanoseconds), and SDL_DateTime struct (broken down calendar date and time) were added to facilitate this functionality.
Querying the system time results in a value expressed in nanoseconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970) in UTC +0000. Conversions to and from the various platform epochs and units are performed when required.
Any direct handling of timezones and DST were intentionally avoided. The offset from UTC is provided when converting from UTC to a local time by calculating the difference between the original UTC and the resulting local time, but no other timezone or DST information is used.
The preferred date formatting and 12/24 hour time for the system locale can be retrieved via global preferences.
Helper functions for obtaining the day of week or day or year for calendar date, and getting the number of days in a month in a given year are provided for convenience. These are simple, but useful for performing various time related calculations.
An automated test for time conversion is included, as is a simple standalone test to display the current system date and time onscreen along with a calendar, the rendering of which demonstrates the use of the utility functions (press up/down to increment or decrement the current month, and keys 1-5 to change the date and time formats).
- Always use internal qsort and bsearch implementation.
- add "_r" reentrant versions.
The reasons for always using the internal versions is that the C runtime
versions' callbacks are not mark STDCALL, so we would have add bridge
functions for them anyhow, The C runtime qsort_r/qsort_s have different
orders of arguments on different platforms, and most importantly: qsort()
isn't a stable sort, and isn't guaranteed to give the same ordering for
two objects marked as equal by the callback...as such, Visual Studio and
glibc can give different sort results for the same data set...in this
sense, having one piece of code shared on all platforms makes sense here,
for reliabillity.
bsearch does not have a standard _r version at all, and suffers from the
same SDLCALL concern. Since the code is simple and we would have to work
around the C runtime, it's easier to just go with the built-in function
and remove all the CMake C runtime tests.
Fixes#9159.
Allow the Visual Studio project to define HAVE_LIBC=0 to enable building without a C runtime on Windows entirely through Visual Studio project changes.
I ran this script in the include directory:
```sh
sed -i '' -e 's,#include "\(SDL.*\)",#include <SDL3/\1>,' *.h
```
I ran this script in the src directory:
```sh
for i in ../include/SDL3/SDL*.h
do hdr=$(basename $i)
if [ x"$(echo $hdr | egrep 'SDL_main|SDL_name|SDL_test|SDL_syswm|SDL_opengl|SDL_egl|SDL_vulkan')" != x ]; then
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' -e 's,#include "\('$hdr'\)",#include <SDL3/\1>,' {} \;
else
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' -e '/#include "'$hdr'"/d' {} \;
fi
done
```
