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).
If someone needs to, say, include an SDL_Storage object, they can simply point userdata at a structure that includes the the storage and any other data needed in enumeration.
Add the xdg-foreign-unstable-v2 protocol and use it to create export handles for toplevel windows, which will be used when an external component, such as the file chooser portal, requires it.
When initializing SDL with the flag SDL_INIT_AUDIO or SDL_INIT_SENSOR the event subsystem also gets initialized(SDL_INIT_EVENTS). This isn't mentioned in the comments.
This commit adds these two comments.
- SDL_RWops is now an opaque struct.
- SDL_AllocRW is gone. If an app is creating a custom RWops, they pass the
function pointers to SDL_CreateRW(), which are stored internally.
- SDL_RWclose is gone, there is only SDL_DestroyRW(), which calls the
implementation's `->close` method before freeing other things.
- There is only one path to create and use RWops now, so we don't have to
worry about whether `->close` will call SDL_DestroyRW, or if this will
risk any Properties not being released, etc.
- SDL_RWFrom* still works as expected, for getting a RWops without having
to supply your own implementation. Objects from these functions are also
destroyed with SDL_DestroyRW.
- Lots of other cleanup and SDL3ization of the library code.
This adds HIDAPI support for DualShock 3 controllers on Windows, addressing the current absence of this feature in SDL. To utilize this functionality, the official Sony driver 'sixaxis.sys' must be installed. HID offers several advantages over DirectInput, including rumble support and the ability to control the LED lights that display the controller number.
This reverts commit b9ab326982.
@rainerdeyke pointed out:
"This commit is incorrect. Flipping both horizontally and vertically is not equivalent to flipping diagonally."
Since SDL_RenderFlip is an enum, SDL_FLIP_HORIZONTAL and SDL_FLIP_VERTICAL can not be OR'ed to get the "SDL_FLIP_DIAGONAL".
Render code is actually able to perform these 3 kind of "flipping" so I just added a new enum called SDL_FLIP_DIAGONAL with the OR'ed value (3) so it can be used.
