Windows Phone 8.0 either did not define, or provide access to, a 'RoamingFolder'
or 'TemporaryFolder' for apps to use. Windows 8.0 and 8.1 do, as does
Windows Phone 8.1. This change allows SDL-based Windows Phone 8.1 apps to
access these folders, via either the SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUNICODE() or
SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8() functions.
SDL_GetPrefPath(), which on WinRT, is based on SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8(), will
continue to return the app's 'local' folder, despite Windows 8.x
counterpart apps using the 'roaming' folder, in order to preserve compatibility
when 8.0-based Phone apps upgrade to 8.1-based Phone apps.
This patch makes sure that any SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN, SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP, and
SDL_MOUSEMOTION events, as triggered by a touch event in a WinRT app, set the
event's 'which' field to SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID. Previously, this was getting set
to the same value as events from a real mouse, '0'.
Thanks to Diego for providing information on this bug, and to Tamas Hamor for
sending over a patch!
SDL2 reports the following message when we type the "/" on br-abnt2 keyboards:
The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. \
To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list \
<sdl@libsdl.org> X11 KeyCode 97 (89), X11 KeySym 0x2F (slash).
That's because the corresponding entry in the scancodes table is
marked with value SDL_SCANCODE_UNKNOWN.
This commit fixes that adding the value SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH for this entry.
- Removed USE_GETTICKCOUNT code; it's never used now.
- Reduced the number of preprocessor checks for WinRT.
- Renamed timeSetPeriod() so it doesn't look like a Win32 API call.
An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid
this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio
callbacks not firing fast enough, etc.
Fixes Bugzilla #2944.
