Num Lock and Caps Lock always need to be explicitly handled by the modifier handler function, or they won't be correctly set if active at application startup, or if the lock state is changed while the application lacks focus since a key press for these keys will never be received. In these cases, the internal SDL modifier state can end up the inverse of the actual modifier state.
This reverts commit 39eab4bf44.
From @Kontrabant:
Making windows use the window title as the app ID by default doesn't seem like the right direction. The app ID is used by window managers to group windows from the same application together for switching between with alt-tilde and such functionality, and giving each window it's own app ID would break this.
Add the protocol for high-resolution timestamp events and subscribe to them if available.
Event timestamps are now handled natively in nanoseconds as much as possible to avoid error-prone conversions.
Variables have been appended with _ms or _ns where appropriate, to avoid ambiguity.
If you care about timestamps you'll also want to catch all of the sensor events instead of just polling the current state. For example, Nintendo Switch controllers generate 3 sensor events with distinct values for each polling interval.
If a program built against one version of SDL is run in an
environment where there is an earlier version of the SDL .so library
installed, the result varies depending on platform configuration; in
the best case, it won't start at all, at worst it aborts in the
middle of the user doing "something important" (systems implementing
lazy symbol resolution). verdefs on the other hand are always checked
on startup.
The dependency information present in programs and shared libraries
is not only of value to the dynamic linker, but also to a
distribution's package management. If the dynamic linker is able to
tell that a program is not runnable per the above, a package manager
is able to come to the same conclusion — and block the installation
of a nonfunctional program+library ensemble.
Because there are a lot more symbols than there are libraries (I am
going to throw in "10^4 to 1 or worse"), package managers generally
do not evaluate symbols, but only e.g. the SONAME, NEEDED and VERNEED
fields/blocks. Because the SONAME is the same between two SDL
versions like 2.0.24, and 2.0.26, everything rests on having verdefs.
This patch proposes the addition of verdefs.
