If you want access to the SDL_REVISION define,
you must explicitly include this header.
Language like this was present in the SDL2 version,
but disappeared in SDL3, even though it's still true.
This reverts commit a3992f504c.
The reason SDL_revision.h was not included by SDL.h or SDL_version.h is because SDL_revision.h changes with every git commit, causing a complete SDL rebuild for every trivial git commit.
Everything in SDL3 up to the ABI lock is reported as available since 3.1.3.
Everything else will be reported as since 3.2.0 (what will be the first
official release).
Also ran a Perl script over the headers to change everything to 3.1.3 that
wasn't an API function, since fnsince.pl can't manage those. If there's a
macro or datatype that has snuck in that needs to be 3.2.0 instead, we'll
have to manually fix it up, but it shouldn't be a big deal in any case.
Reference PR #11304.
Implemented using these sed commands on the headers:
sed -E -i'' '/SDLCALL|;/ s,([a-z])\* ,\1 *,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,(\(.*[^\*])\* ([a-z])(.*\)),\1*\2\3,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,\*const,* const,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,\*SDLCALL,* SDLCALL,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,void\(,void (,g' *
git checkout *gl*
This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
This is just stuff I noticed while working on the wikiheaders updates. A
thorough pass over all the docs would not be terrible, and maybe a simple
script to check for consistency (does everything have a `\since` on it? etc)
might be nice, too.
