Requesting certain MIME types (e.g. EPS formats offered by KDE) can be *very* slow, on the order of multiple seconds, due to requiring significant processing. Only try to load image MIME types that SDL is known to support (BMP and PNG).
The default timeout value of 14ms is ideal when querying clipboard data while polling events, to prevent excessive lag if the source takes a long time to respond, however, when reading from SDL_GetClipboardData(), the timeout can be too short if a large amount of data must be processed or transferred. SDL_GetClipboardData() is not called while polling events, so using a longer read timeout to greatly increase the chance of success is acceptable.
Use a 5 second timeout when reading from SDL_GetClipboardData() and GetPrimarySelectionText() to greatly increase the chances of a successful read, even if the requested format requires heavy processing.
Clients that defer repainting may hang in SDL_WaitEvent() while interactively resizing if they only redraw when an appropriate event is received, as resizing defers the new state until a frame callback is received, and if too much time elapsed since the last redraw, the last frame callback may have already occurred. Send an exposure event when deferring resizes so the client will make forward progress and trigger a frame callback to ack the pending configure state.
Prevent mouse and keyboard events from being processed twice by
skipping [super sendEvent:] for events SDL has already handled via
Cocoa_DispatchEvent. Other event types still go through AppKit's
normal handling.
The hybrid handling can still result in cases where a final event is dropped when the pointer leaves a surface. The spec says that all pointer events should be handled within a frame, so, do so.
When running SDL3 applications on tiling window managers like i3, moving a window to an invisible workspace does not trigger SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED or SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN. Consequently, the application continues rendering at full speed (VSync dependent), consuming unnecessary GPU/CPU resources even when not visible.
When a workspace is hidden, i3(and possible other tiling WMs) unmaps the container and sets the client window state to WithdrawnState (via the WM_STATE atom). Previously, the SDL3 X11 backend ignored changes to WM_STATE during PropertyNotify events, failing to detect this transition.
Some devices with broken drivers hang when their name is queried, so added a workaround for applications that don't need input device details. The long term fix is to move the hotplug detection into a separate thread.
Older versions of XInput2 do not declare struct XIGesturePinchEvent
in XInput2.h, causing compilation failure in SDL_x11xinput2.c
Check for XIGesturePinchEvent in the test for enabling
SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_XINPUT2_SUPPORTS_GESTURE
hid.dll simply cannot send 7 bytes reports unlike other platforms
It enforces full length repots of 17 from the device's descriptor,
which does not work on the device.
This breaks ffb and led control, so we disable this by default on
windows.
Wireplumber now exposes a list of session services, so check the "session.services" property for an "audio" entry to determine whether Pipewire is configured for audio playback/capture.
CGDisplayPixelsHigh(kCGDirectMainDisplay) involves an IPC call to the
Window Server on each invocation. Cache the main display height in
SDL_CocoaVideoData and update it only when display configuration changes,
reducing overhead during high-frequency mouse event processing.
`target_get_dynamic_library` should not be called if `SDL_HIDAPI_LIBUSB_SHARED` is set to OFF, it otherwise causes a warning at best, or a build failure if libusb is provided by a parent project and not installed on the system
It turns out the reason this function was having so many overread issues was because our row copies were wrong - for compressed images we also need to reduce the row count based on the block size, similar to what we already do for pitch calculation - these copies are byte copies, not pixel copies!
