Modern C runtimes have well optimized memset and memcpy, so use those instead of dispatching into SDL's versions. In addition, some compilers can analyze memset and memcpy calls and directly turn them into optimized assembly.
Add the ability to import and wrap external surfaces from external toolkits such as Qt and GTK.
Wayland surfaces and windows are more intrinsically tied to the client library than other windowing systems, so it is necessary to provide a way to initialize SDL with an existing wl_display object, which needs to be set prior to video system initialization, or export the internal SDL wl_display object for use by external applications or toolkits. For this, the global property SDL_PROPERTY_GLOBAL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_WL_DISPLAY_POINTER is used.
A Wayland example was added to testnative, and a basic example of Qt 6 interoperation is provided in the Wayland readme to demonstrate the use of external windows with both SDL owning the wl_display, and an external toolkit owning it.
Allow for the creation of SDL windows with a roleless surface that applications can use for their own purposes, such as with a windowing protocol other than XDG toplevel.
The property `wayland.surface_role_custom` will create a window with a surface that SDL can render to and handles input for, but is not associated with a toplevel window, so applications can use it for their own, custom purposes (e.g. wlr_layer_shell).
A test/minimal example is included in tests/testwaylandcustom.c
A Wayland registry object can only have one listener attached at a time, so an application attempting to use the backend SDL registry object for its own purposes will just result in an error. Remove this property, as it is of no use to applications and will only result in errors.
If an application needs the registry, it needs to get the wl_display object via `SDL.window.wayland.display` and use wl_display_get_registry() to create a new registry object that it can attach its own listeners to.
It would be easy to assume that all APIs that reference
SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MAX work the same way, but they do not: triggers
generally use the full signed 16-bit range in the lower-level joystick
API, but are normalized to be non-negative by the higher-level gamepad
API.
We also never said explicitly which direction is positive here.
Experimentally, it's right (X), down (Y), and pressed (triggers).

The ARM926EJ-S Technical Reference Manual states:
> You can only access CP15 registers with MRC and MCR instructions in a
> privileged mode. CDP, LDC, STC, MCRR, and MRRC instructions, and unprivileged
> MRC or MCR instructions to CP15 cause the Undefined instruction exception to
> be taken.
Furthermore, `MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c7, c10, 5` (later called Data Memory Barrier)
is not specified for the ARM926. Thus, SDL should not use these cache
instructions on ARMv5.
This reverts commit 61db102da9.
This causes the build to fail:
SDL_waylandwindow.c:1876:45: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion]
wind->fullscreen_was_positioned = SDL_TRUE;
We'll use properties for new data associated with a surface, which lets us preserve ABI compatibility with SDL2 and any surfaces created by applications and passed in to SDL functions.
Added support for getting the real controller info, as well as the function SDL_GetGamepadSteamHandle() to get the Steam Input API handle, from the virtual gamepads provided by Steam.
Also added an event SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_STEAM_HANDLE_UPDATED which is triggered when a controller's API handle changes, e.g. the controllers were reassigned slots in the Steam UI.
SDL window size, state, and position functions have been considered immediate, with their effects assuming to have taken effect upon successful return of the function. However, several windowing systems handle these requests asynchronously, resulting in the functions blocking until the changes have taken effect, potentially for long periods of time. Additionally, some windowing systems treat these as requests, and can potentially deny or fulfill the request in a manner differently than the application expects, such as not allowing a window to be positioned or sized beyond desktop borders, prohibiting fullscreen, and so on.
With these changes, applications can make requests of the window manager that do not block, with the understanding that an associated event will be sent if the request is fulfilled. Currently, size, position, maximize, minimize, and fullscreen calls are handled as asynchronous requests, with events being returned if the request is honored. If the application requires that the change take effect immediately, it can call the new SDL_SyncWindow function, which will attempt to block until the request is fulfilled, or some arbitrary timeout period elapses, the duration of which depends not only on the windowing system, but on the operation requested as well (e.g. a 100ms timeout is fine for most X11 events, but maximizing a window can take considerably longer for some reason). There is also a new hint 'SDL_VIDEO_SYNC_ALL_WINDOW_OPS' that will mimic the old behavior by synchronizing after every window operation with, again, the understanding that using this may result in the associated calls blocking for a relatively long period.
The deferred model also results in the window size and position getters not reporting false coordinates anymore, as they only forward what the window manager reports vs allowing applications to set arbitrary values, and fullscreen enter/leave events that were initiated via the window manager update the window state appropriately, where they didn't before.
Care was taken to ensure that order of operations is maintained, and that requests are not ignored or dropped. This does require some implicit internal synchronization in the various backends if many requests are made in a short period, as some state and behavior depends on other bits of state that need to be known at that particular point in time, but this isn't something that typical applications will hit, unless they are sending a lot of window state in a short time as the tests do.
The automated tests developed to test the previous behavior also resulted in previously undefined behavior being defined and normalized across platforms, particularly when it comes to the sizing and positioning of windows when they are in a fixed-size state, such as maximized or fullscreen. Size and position requests made when the window is not in a movable or resizable state will be deferred until it can be applied, so no requests are lost. These changes fix another long-standing issue with renderers recreating maximized windows, where the original non-maximized size was lost, resulting in the window being restored to the wrong size. All automated video tests pass across all platforms.
Overall, the "make a request/get an event" model better reflects how most windowing systems work, and some backends avoid spending significant time blocking while waiting for operations to complete.
Now it returns an array and optional count, to match other SDL3 APIs.
SDL_GetTouchName() was replaced with a function that takes an instance ID
instead of an index, too.
This uses the same `SDL_VerbNoun` format as the rest of SDL3, and also
adds stronger effort to invalidate cached state in the backend, so cooperation
improves with apps that are using lowlevel rendering APIs directly.
Fixes#367.
The only generally portable way to do this is to use -std=gnu99,
"#include <stdlib.h>", and write "alloca".
__builtin_alloca does not seem to be available on NetBSD
This can be used to work around issues where the Apple GCController driver doesn't work for some controllers but there's no way to know which GCController maps to which IOKit device.
This patch adds an API for querying pressure-
sensitive pens, cf. SDL_pen.h:
- Enumerate all pens
- Get pen capabilities, names, GUIDs
- Distinguishes pens and erasers
- Distinguish attached and detached pens
- Pressure and tilt support
- Rotation, distance, throttle wheel support
(throttle wheel untested)
- Pen type and meta-information reporting
(partially tested)
Pen event reporting:
- Three new event structures: PenTip, PenMotion, and
PenButton
- Report location with sub-pixel precision
- Include axis and button status, is-eraser flag
Internal pen tracker, intended to be independent
of platform APIs, cf. SDL_pen_c.h:
- Track known pens
- Handle pen hotplugging
Automatic test:
- testautomation_pen.c
Other features:
- XInput2 implementation, incl. hotplugging
- Wayland implementation, incl. hotplugging
- Backward compatibility: pen events default to
emulating pens with mouse ID SDL_PEN_MOUSEID
- Can be toggled via SDL_HINT_PEN_NOT_MOUSE
- Test/demo program (testpen)
- Wacom pen feature identification by pen ID
Acknowledgements:
- Ping Cheng (Wacom) provided extensive feedback
on Wacom pen features and detection so that
hopefully untested Wacom devices have a
realistic chance of working out of the box.
This gives applications and binding systems a clearer view of what the hardware is so they can make intelligent decisions about how to present things to the user.
Gamepad mappings continue to use abxy for the face buttons for simplicity and compatibility with earlier versions of SDL, however the "SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS" hint no longer has any effect.

SDL_PollEvent(), SDL_WaitEvent(), and SDL_WaitEventTimeout() all return SDL_bool.
SDL_AddEventWatch() returns an int result code.
Also improved timeout accuracy in SDL_WaitEventTimeout()
This lets apps optionally have a handful of callbacks for their entry points instead of a single main function. If used, the actual main/SDL_main/whatever entry point will be implemented in the single-header library SDL_main.h and the app will implement four separate functions:
First:
int SDL_AppInit(int argc, char **argv);
This will be called once before anything else. argc/argv work like they always do. If this returns 0, the app runs. If it returns < 0, the app calls SDL_AppQuit and terminates with an exit code that reports an error to the platform. If it returns > 0, the app calls SDL_AppQuit and terminates with an exit code that reports success to the platform. This function should not go into an infinite mainloop; it should do any one-time startup it requires and then return.
Then:
int SDL_AppIterate(void);
This is called over and over, possibly at the refresh rate of the display or some other metric that the platform dictates. This is where the heart of your app runs. It should return as quickly as reasonably possible, but it's not a "run one memcpy and that's all the time you have" sort of thing. The app should do any game updates, and render a frame of video. If it returns < 0, SDL will call SDL_AppQuit and terminate the process with an exit code that reports an error to the platform. If it returns > 0, the app calls SDL_AppQuit and terminates with an exit code that reports success to the platform. If it returns 0, then SDL_AppIterate will be called again at some regular frequency. The platform may choose to run this more or less (perhaps less in the background, etc), or it might just call this function in a loop as fast as possible. You do not check the event queue in this function (SDL_AppEvent exists for that).
Next:
int SDL_AppEvent(const SDL_Event *event);
This will be called once for each event pushed into the SDL queue. This may be called from any thread, and possibly in parallel to SDL_AppIterate. The fields in event do not need to be free'd (as you would normally need to do for SDL_EVENT_DROP_FILE, etc), and your app should not call SDL_PollEvent, SDL_PumpEvent, etc, as SDL will manage this for you. Return values are the same as from SDL_AppIterate(), so you can terminate in response to SDL_EVENT_QUIT, etc.
Finally:
void SDL_AppQuit(void);
This is called once before terminating the app--assuming the app isn't being forcibly killed or crashed--as a last chance to clean up. After this returns, SDL will call SDL_Quit so the app doesn't have to (but it's safe for the app to call it, too). Process termination proceeds as if the app returned normally from main(), so atexit handles will run, if your platform supports that.
The app does not implement SDL_main if using this. To turn this on, define SDL_MAIN_USE_CALLBACKS before including SDL_main.h. Defines like SDL_MAIN_HANDLED and SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL are also respected for callbacks, if the app wants to do some sort of magic main implementation thing.
In theory, on most platforms these can be implemented in the app itself, but this saves some #ifdefs in the app and lets everyone struggle less against some platforms, and might be more efficient in the long run, too.
On some platforms, it's possible this is the only reasonable way to go, but we haven't actually hit one that 100% requires it yet (but we will, if we want to write a RetroArch backend, for example).
Using the callback entry points works on every platform, because on platforms that don't require them, we can fake them with a simple loop in an internal implementation of the usual SDL_main.
The primary way we expect people to write SDL apps is with SDL_main, and this is not intended to replace it. If the app chooses to use this, it just removes some platform-specific details they might have to otherwise manage, and maybe removes a barrier to entry on some future platform.
Fixes#6785.
Reference PR #8247.
Almost nothing checks these return values, and there's no reason a valid
lock should fail to operate. The cases where a lock isn't valid (it's a
bogus pointer, it was previously destroyed, a thread is unlocking a lock it
doesn't own, etc) are undefined behavior and always were, and should be
treated as an application bug.

It needs to be SDL_RELEASE_GENERIC, because it releases both exclusive
(writer) and shared (reader) locks.
Without this fix, clang's `-Wthread-safety` tests generate incorrect warnings.

The following objects now have properties that can be user modified:
* SDL_AudioStream
* SDL_Gamepad
* SDL_Joystick
* SDL_RWops
* SDL_Renderer
* SDL_Sensor
* SDL_Surface
* SDL_Texture
* SDL_Window
Also switched the D3D11 and D3D12 renderers to use real NV12 textures for NV12 data.
The combination of these two changes allows us to implement 0-copy video decode and playback for D3D11 in testffmpeg without any access to the renderer internals.
Whenever I have to fix something endianness-related, I always get
confused about whether the byte-oriented format that guarantees to put
red in byte 0 is RGBA8888 or RGBA32. (The answer is that it's RGBA32.)

This fires if an opened device changes formats (which it can on Windows,
if the user changes this in the system control panel, and WASAPI can
report), or if a default device migrates to new hardware and the format
doesn't match.
This will fire for all logical devices on a physical device (and if it's
a format change and not a default device change, it'll fire for the
physical device too, but that's honestly not that useful and might change).
Fixes#8267.
Now it offers the total requested bytes in addition to the amount
immediately needed (and immediately needed might be zero if the stream
already has enough queued to satisfy the request.
You can see it in action in testaudio by mousing over a logical device; it
will show a visualizer for the current PCM (whatever is currently being
recorded on a capture device, or whatever is being mixed for output on
playback devices).
Fixes#8122.
On some system like MacBook Pro Intel with AMD card, asking for the default device will always return the AMD GPU.
This is not an issue for 99% of the case when the renderer context is here to provide the maximum performance level like for game.
However, for video application using GPU for 1 quad and 1 texture, using the discrete GPU for that lead to an important power consumption (4 to 8W), heat increase, and fan noise.
With this patch, I successfully amend ffplay to only use the integrated GPU (i.e. the Intel one), instead of the discrete GPU (i.e. the AMD one).
This is meant to offer a simplified API for people that are either migrating
directly from SDL2 with minimal effort or just want to make noise without
any of the fancy new API features.
Users of this API can just deal with a single SDL_AudioStream as their only
object/handle into the audio subsystem.
They are still allowed to open multiple devices (or open the same device
multiple times), but cannot change stream bindings on logical devices opened
through this function.
Destroying the single audio stream will also close the logical device behind
the scenes.
SDL considers a hidden window to be unmapped and blocks or defers certain operations until the window is shown again, however, the X11 and Cocoa backends would set the hidden flag when the window was minimized, which blocked the functionality of SDL_RestoreWindow().
Specify that a window with the hidden flag set is unmapped and not visible on the desktop or in the dock/taskbar without a call to SDL_ShowWindow(), and don't set the hidden flag in the X11 and Cocoa backends when the window is in the minimized state, but still mapped to the desktop.
CMake's SDL_build_config.h force disables HAVE_STDIO_H when buiding
winrt in non-libc mode.
Becase CreateFileEx is not available in UWP mode, use CreateFile2
instead.
The sequence order of the four paddles is not obvious, with SDL and Xbox
controllers swapping the order of P2 and P3 relative to each other.
If we group them into left and right, then it becomes more obvious.

The current status is stored in the SDL_rwops 'status' field to be able to determine whether a 0 return value is caused by end of file, an error, or a non-blocking source not being ready.
The functions to read sized datatypes now return SDL_bool so you can detect read errors.

Add SDL_ShowWindowSystemMenu() to display the system-level menu for windows. Typically, this is done by right-clicking on the system provided window decorations, however, if an application is rendering its own client-side decorations, there is currently no way to display it. This menu is provided by the system and can provide privileged desktop functionality such as moving or pinning a window to a specific workspace or display, setting the always-on-top property, or taking screenshots. In many cases, there are no APIs which allow applications to perform these actions manually.
Implemented for Wayland via functionality provided by the xdg_toplevel protocol, Win32 via the undocumented message 0x313 (typically called WM_POPUPSYSTEMMENU), and X11 via the "_GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU" atom (supported in GNOME and KDE).
This rips up the entire SDL audio subsystem! While we still feed the audio device from a separate thread, the audio callback into the app is now gone a totally optional alternative.
Now the app will bind an SDL_AudioStream to a given device and feed data to it. As many streams as one likes can be bound to a device; SDL will mix them all into a single buffer and feed the device from there.
So not only does this function as a basic mixer, it also means that multiple device opens are handled seamlessly (so if you want to open the device for your game, but you also link to a library that provides VoIP and it wants to open the device separately, you don't have to worry about stepping on each other, or that the OS will fail to allow multiple opens of the same device, etc).
Merged from pull request #7704.
Fixes#7379.
Reference Issue #6889.
Reference Issue #6632.
Render targets are a core feature of SDL 3.0, so this flag has been removed.
The OpenGL ES renderer still doesn't support them, but we'll deal with that later.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/8059
Now you open an audio device and attach streams, as planned, but each
open generates a new logical device. Each logical device has its own
streams that are managed as a group, but all streams on all logical
devices are mixed into a single buffer for a single OS-level open of
the physical device.
This allows multiple opens of a device that won't interfere with each
other and also clean up just what the opener assigned to their logical
device, so all their streams will go away on close but other opens will
continue to mix as they were.
More or less, this makes things work as expected at the app level, but
also gives them the power to group audio streams, and (once added) pause
them all at once, etc.
Adds the SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_OCCLUDED events and the window flag SDL_WINDOW_OCCLUDED to report when the window occlusion state has changed, so that the application can take appropriate measures, as it may wish to suspend drawing, throttle, or otherwise behave in a more energy efficient manner when the window is not visible. When the window is no longer occluded, the SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_EXPOSED event is sent and the occlusion flag is cleared.
This is handled on macOS via the window occlusion state event (available as of 10.9), and via the xdg-shell protocol on Wayland (version 6, wayland-protocols 1.32, passed through in libdecor 0.1.2).
Also renamed most cases of SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN to SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_STANDARD, and SDL_GetGamepadType() will return SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN only if the gamepad is invalid.
Removing SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_VIRTUAL allows a virtual controller to emulate another gamepad type. The other controller types can be treated as generic controllers by applications without special glyph or functionality treatment.
This will simplify the X11 and Wayland implementations, which were doing that under the hood, and makes application interaction between the two APIs consistent.
The destination rectangle passed to SDL_BlitSurface() and SDL_BlitSurfaceScaled() is non-const and filled in with the final destination rectangle after clipping, and now documented as such.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7911
This allows the application to tell when a joystick polling cycle is complete and can process state changes as a single atomic update. It is disabled by default, at least for now.
Also renamed SDL_GetDisplayOrientation() SDL_GetDisplayCurrentOrientation()
The natural orientation of the primary display is the frame of reference for accelerometer and gyro sensor readings.
