345b4d7e	2020-05-29T13:37:21	Fixed bug 5161 - Autodetect controller mappings based on the Linux Gamepad Specification Jan Bujak I wrote a new driver for my gamepad on Linux. I'd like SDL to support it out-of-box, as currently it just treats it as a generic joystick instead of a gamepad. From what I can see the only way to do that is to either 1) pick one of the already supported controllers' PID, VID and button layouts and have my driver send that (effectively lying that it's something else), or 2) submit a preconfigured, hardcoded mapping to SDL. Both of those, in my opinion, are silly when we already have the Linux Gamepad Specification which standarizes this: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/input/gamepad.html Unfortunately SDL doesn't make use of it currently. So I've took it upon myself to add it; patch is in the attachments. Basically what the patch does is that if SDL finds no built-it controller mappings for a given joystick it then asks the joystick backend to autodetect it, and that uses the relevant evdev bits to figure out which button/axis is which. (See the specs for more details.) With this patch applied my own driver for my controller works out-of-box with SDL with no extra configuration and is correctly recognized as a gamepad; this is also going to be the case for any other driver which follows the Linux Gamepad Specification.

4dea340c	2020-03-16T12:23:38	Fixed bug 4477 - Support more than 4 XInput-capable devices on Windows Jimb Esser Add new RawInput controller API, and improved correlation with XInput/WGI Reorder joystick init so drivers can ask the others if they handle a device reliably Do not poll disconnected XInput devices (major perf issue) Fix various cases where incorrect correlation could happen Simple mechanism for propagating unhandled Guide button presses even before guaranteed correlation Correlate by axis motion as well as button presses Fix failing to zero other trigger Fix SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI not working if set before calling SDL_Init() Add missing device to device names Disable RawInput if we have a mismatch of XInput-capable but not RawInput-capable devices Updated to SDL 2.0.13 code with the following notes: New HID driver: xbox360w - no idea what that is, hopefully urelated SDL_hidapijoystick.c had been refactored to couple data handling logic with device opening logic and device lists caused some problems, yields slightly uglier integration than previously when the 360 HID device driver was just handling the data. SDL_hidapijoystick.c now often pulls the device off of the joystick_hwdata structure for some rumble logic, but it appears that code path is never reached, so probably not a problem. Looks like joystick_hwdata was refactored to not include a mutex in other drivers, maintainers may want to do the same refactor here if that's useful for some reason. Something changed in how devices get names, so getting generic names. Had to fix a (new?) bug where removing an XInput controller caused existing controllers (that moved to a new XInput index) to get identified as 0x045e/0x02fd ("it's probably Bluetooth" in code), rendering the existing HIDAPI_IsDevicePresent and new RAWINPUT_IsDevicePresent unreliable.
2be75c6a	2020-03-13T19:08:45	Fixed bug 5028 - Virtual Joysticks (new joystick backend) David Ludwig I have created a new driver for SDL's Joystick and Game-Controller subsystem: a Virtual driver. This driver allows one to create a software-based joystick, which to SDL applications will look and react like a real joystick, but whose state can be set programmatically. A primary use case for this is to help enable developers to add touch-screen joysticks to their apps. The driver comes with a set of new, public APIs, with functions to attach and detach joysticks, set virtual-joystick state, and to determine if a joystick is a virtual-one. Use of virtual joysticks goes as such: 1. Attach one or more virtual joysticks by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual. If successful, this returns the virtual-device's joystick-index. 2. Open the virtual joysticks (using indicies returned by SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual). 3. Call any of the SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions when joystick-state changes. Please note that virtual-joystick state will only get applied on the next call to SDL_JoystickUpdate, or when pumping or polling for SDL events (via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvent). Here is a listing of the new, public APIs, at present and subject to change: ------------------------------------------------------------ /** * Attaches a new virtual joystick. * Returns the joystick's device index, or -1 if an error occurred. / extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual(SDL_JoystickType type, int naxes, int nballs, int nbuttons, int nhats); /* * Detaches a virtual joystick * Returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred. / extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickDetachVirtual(int device_index); /* * Indicates whether or not a virtual-joystick is at a given device index. / extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_JoystickIsVirtual(int device_index); /* * Set values on an opened, virtual-joystick's controls. * Returns 0 on success, -1 on error. / extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualAxis(SDL_Joystick joystick, int axis, Sint16 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualBall(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int ball, Sint16 xrel, Sint16 yrel); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualButton(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int button, Uint8 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualHat(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int hat, Uint8 value); ------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous notes on the initial patch, which are also subject to change: 1. no test code is present in SDL, yet. This should, perhaps, change. Initial development was done with an ImGui-based app, which potentially is too thick for use in SDL-official. If tests are to be added, what kind of tests? Automated? Graphical? 2. virtual game controllers can be created by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual with a joystick-type of SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAME_CONTROLLER, with naxes (num axes) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_MAX, and with nbuttons (num buttons) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_MAX. When updating their state, values of type SDL_GameControllerAxis or SDL_GameControllerButton can be casted to an int and used for the control-index (in calls to SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions). 3. virtual joysticks' guids are mostly all-zeros with the exception of the last two bytes, the first of which is a 'v', to indicate that the guid is a virtual one, and the second of which is a SDL_JoystickType that has been converted into a Uint8. 4. virtual joysticks are ONLY turned into virtual game-controllers if and when their joystick-type is set to SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMECONTROLLER. This is controlled by having SDL's default list of game-controllers have a single entry for a virtual game controller (of guid, "00000000000000000000000000007601", which is subject to the guid-encoding described above). 5. regarding having to call SDL_JoystickUpdate, either directly or indirectly via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvents, before new virtual-joystick state becomes active (as specified via SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* function-calls), this was done to match behavior found in SDL's other joystick drivers, almost all of which will only update SDL-state during SDL_JoystickUpdate. 6. the initial patch is based off of SDL 2.0.12 7. the virtual joystick subsystem is disabled by default. It should be possible to enable it by building with SDL_JOYSTICK_VIRTUAL=1 Questions, comments, suggestions, or bug reports very welcome!

be6cda9f	2019-06-19T15:54:21	Rolling back GameCube HIDAPI support It causes the HIDAPI devices to always be opened on enumeration, which causes crashes in the Windows drivers when multiple applications are reading and writing at the same time. We can revisit this after 2.0.10 release.
c5286156	2019-03-12T20:27:54	hidapi: Add support for Wii U/Switch USB GameCube controller adapter. Note that a single USB device is responsible for all 4 joysticks, so a large rewrite of the DeviceDriver functions was necessary to allow a single device to produce multiple joysticks.

888bf1af	2018-08-09T16:03:50	Worked around bug with Sony PS Now PS3 controller where DirectInput polling will continue to return success after the controller is unplugged. The code is now reliant on SDL_PrivateJoystickAdded() and SDL_PrivateJoystickRemoved() being called correctly when devices are added or removed on Windows
d2042e1e	2018-08-09T16:00:17	Added HIDAPI joystick drivers for more consistent support for Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controller support across platforms. Added SDL_GameControllerRumble() and SDL_JoystickRumble() for simple force feedback outside of the SDL haptics API
8e062f69	2018-03-19T14:42:51	Generalized the handling of instantaneous guide button presses so there's a minimum of 100 ms between guide button press and release. This happens with at least the following controllers: All Apple MFI controllers, ASUS Gamepad, XiaoMi Bluetooth Controller

1eb92f63	2017-04-06T06:30:43	Implemented Linux joystick blacklist Based on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denilsonsa/udev-joystick-blacklist/master/generate_rules.py This fixes a few devices that are not actually joysticks showing up as such in SDL
3c90a52a	2017-01-27T05:59:58	Added an API to get the type of a connected joystick
4938c505	2017-01-04T10:28:07	Added SDL_JoystickGetAxisInitialState() to get a joystick axis' initial value. This is useful for controller mapping programs to determine an axis' zero state
082132a7	2017-01-03T23:39:28	Fixed binding the D-pad on some Super NES style controllers Fixed a case where partial trigger pull could be bound to another button There is a fundamental problem not resolved by this commit: Some controllers have axes (triggers, pedals, etc.) that don't start at zero, but we're guaranteed that if we get a value that it's correct. For these controllers, the current code works, where we take the first value we get and use that as the zero point and generate axis motion starting from that point on. Other controllers have digital axes (D-pad) that assume a zero starting point, and the first value we get is the min or max axis value when the D-pad is moved. For these controllers, the current code thinks that the zero point is the axis value after the D-pad motion and this doesn't work. My hypothesis is that the first class of devices is more common and that we should solve for that, and add an exception to SDL_JoystickAxesCenteredAtZero() as needed for the second class of devices.

ca019dad	2016-12-22T17:33:45	Fixed issue where the throttle and other axes on racing wheels don't start at zero and show up as immediate input when the wheel is turned for the first time. Wait until they are actually moved before generating input from them.

a0c4b56f	2015-09-30T15:39:30	SDL - added new SDL_JoystickCurrentPowerLevel() API that returns the battery level of the selected joystick. Currently only implemented for XInput devices, other platforms are a TODO. CR: Sam
0e45984f	2015-06-21T17:33:46	Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
2c4a6ea0	2015-05-26T06:27:46	Updated the copyright year to 2015
b72938c8	2015-04-20T12:22:44	Windows: Always set the system timer resolution to 1ms by default. An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio callbacks not firing fast enough, etc. Fixes Bugzilla #2944.
fe6c797c	2015-04-10T23:30:31	Fixed an iOS view orientation issue when SDL_GL_CreateContext or SDL_CreateRenderer is called.
162ef5ea	2015-03-24T13:52:01	Cleanups in the joystick code. Removed some redundant state and other confusions. Fixes Bugzilla #2738.
da843f6a	2015-03-11T21:14:21	Updated internal documentation comments.
b88ca1b4	2015-02-10T16:28:56	the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here. Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture. More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802
b48e54aa	2015-01-26T22:00:29	Fixed bug 2802 - [patch] Fix android build compiling in wrong filesystem implementation Jonas Kulla The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c. I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.
70438be2	2014-12-03T10:55:23	WinRT: fixed bug whereby SDL would override an app's default orientation WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file. SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible orientations (landscape and portrait). Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!
9c398852	2014-11-22T22:20:40	Corrected header file documentation comment.
24c86b55	2014-09-11T19:24:42	[X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms. This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again. CR: Sam
febc4797	2014-07-07T11:44:14	SDL_SYS_IsXInputGamepad_DeviceIndex() is only available if SDL_JOYSTICK_XINPUT is true.
b79e7f32	2014-07-03T15:39:55	Split the XInput and DirectInput code so Windows RT can use the existing XInput support.
52ec151f	2014-06-24T13:31:25	Fixed bug 2553 - Add support to all XInput devices This adds support for all XInput devices, exposed through the SDL joystick API. The button and axis reporting for XInput devices has been changed to match DirectInput and other platforms. The game controller xinput mapping has been updated so this change is seamless. There is a new hint, SDL_HINT_XINPUT_USE_OLD_JOYSTICK_MAPPING, for any applications that have hardcoded the old xinput button and axis set. This hint will be removed in SDL 2.1.
446d19c4	2014-06-14T23:31:23	Removed SDL_SYS_JoystickNeedsPolling(). It was simpler to just have the polling (actually: hotplug detection) functions return immediately if it's not an appropriate time to poll. Note that previously, if any joystick/controller was opened, we would poll every time anyhow, skipping this function.
3dcb451f	2014-04-09T21:29:19	Added a README file regarding WinRT support To note, this file is currently formatted with CRLF line endings, rather than LF, to allow the file to be viewed with Notepad.

7e1289af	2013-11-24T23:56:17	Make internal SDL sources include SDL_internal.h instead of SDL_config.h The new header will include SDL_config.h, but allows for other global stuff.
69c5d21d	2013-10-27T21:26:46	WinRT: merged with SDL 2.0.1 codebase
9faefccd	2013-08-21T10:32:04	SDL - detect that you tried to open a gamecontroller in xinput mode and failed, then re-get the mapping for the dinput variant you did open (and most likely now just fail the open) CR: SamL
f7049b93	2013-08-12T22:29:55	WinRT: merged with SDL 2.0.0 codebase (aka. SDL hg rev d4ce48ff30d1)
dad42067	2013-08-12T11:13:50	Fixes #2022, do not resume on Android when surfaceChanged If the app is in landscape mode and the user presses the power button, a pause is followed immediately by a surfaceChanged event because the lock screen is shown in portrait mode. This triggers a "false" resume. So, we just pause and resume following the onWindowFocusChanged events. Also, wait for SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_DIDENTERBACKGROUND before blocking the event pump.
1ad936eb	2013-08-11T19:56:43	Fixed bug 2027 - Full-screen appears to be broken - hang in SDL_DestroyWindow() Rainer Deyke I'm running Linux Mint 15 with the Cinnamon window manager. SDL_DestroyWindow consistently locks up for me when the window if fullscreen.

Here is a listing of the new, public APIs, at present and subject to change: ------------------------------------------------------------ /** * Attaches a new virtual joystick. * Returns the joystick's device index, or -1 if an error occurred. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual(SDL_JoystickType type, int naxes, int nballs, int nbuttons, int nhats); /** * Detaches a virtual joystick * Returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickDetachVirtual(int device_index); /** * Indicates whether or not a virtual-joystick is at a given device index. */ extern DECLSPEC SDL_bool SDLCALL SDL_JoystickIsVirtual(int device_index); /** * Set values on an opened, virtual-joystick's controls. * Returns 0 on success, -1 on error. */ extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualAxis(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int axis, Sint16 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualBall(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int ball, Sint16 xrel, Sint16 yrel); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualButton(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int button, Uint8 value); extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_JoystickSetVirtualHat(SDL_Joystick * joystick, int hat, Uint8 value); ------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous notes on the initial patch, which are also subject to change: 1. no test code is present in SDL, yet. This should, perhaps, change. Initial development was done with an ImGui-based app, which potentially is too thick for use in SDL-official. If tests are to be added, what kind of tests? Automated? Graphical? 2. virtual game controllers can be created by calling SDL_JoystickAttachVirtual with a joystick-type of SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAME_CONTROLLER, with naxes (num axes) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_AXIS_MAX, and with nbuttons (num buttons) set to SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_MAX. When updating their state, values of type SDL_GameControllerAxis or SDL_GameControllerButton can be casted to an int and used for the control-index (in calls to SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* functions). 3. virtual joysticks' guids are mostly all-zeros with the exception of the last two bytes, the first of which is a 'v', to indicate that the guid is a virtual one, and the second of which is a SDL_JoystickType that has been converted into a Uint8. 4. virtual joysticks are ONLY turned into virtual game-controllers if and when their joystick-type is set to SDL_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMECONTROLLER. This is controlled by having SDL's default list of game-controllers have a single entry for a virtual game controller (of guid, "00000000000000000000000000007601", which is subject to the guid-encoding described above). 5. regarding having to call SDL_JoystickUpdate, either directly or indirectly via SDL_PumpEvents or SDL_PollEvents, before new virtual-joystick state becomes active (as specified via SDL_JoystickSetVirtual* function-calls), this was done to match behavior found in SDL's other joystick drivers, almost all of which will only update SDL-state during SDL_JoystickUpdate. 6. the initial patch is based off of SDL 2.0.12 7. the virtual joystick subsystem is disabled by default. It should be possible to enable it by building with SDL_JOYSTICK_VIRTUAL=1 Questions, comments, suggestions, or bug reports very welcome!

Fixed binding the D-pad on some Super NES style controllers Fixed a case where partial trigger pull could be bound to another button There is a fundamental problem not resolved by this commit: Some controllers have axes (triggers, pedals, etc.) that don't start at zero, but we're guaranteed that if we get a value that it's correct. For these controllers, the current code works, where we take the first value we get and use that as the zero point and generate axis motion starting from that point on. Other controllers have digital axes (D-pad) that assume a zero starting point, and the first value we get is the min or max axis value when the D-pad is moved. For these controllers, the current code thinks that the zero point is the axis value after the D-pad motion and this doesn't work. My hypothesis is that the first class of devices is more common and that we should solve for that, and add an exception to SDL_JoystickAxesCenteredAtZero() as needed for the second class of devices.

Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().

the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here. Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture. More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802

Fixed bug 2553 - Add support to all XInput devices This adds support for all XInput devices, exposed through the SDL joystick API. The button and axis reporting for XInput devices has been changed to match DirectInput and other platforms. The game controller xinput mapping has been updated so this change is seamless. There is a new hint, SDL_HINT_XINPUT_USE_OLD_JOYSTICK_MAPPING, for any applications that have hardcoded the old xinput button and axis set. This hint will be removed in SDL 2.1.

Fixes #2022, do not resume on Android when surfaceChanged If the app is in landscape mode and the user presses the power button, a pause is followed immediately by a surfaceChanged event because the lock screen is shown in portrait mode. This triggers a "false" resume. So, we just pause and resume following the onWindowFocusChanged events. Also, wait for SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_DIDENTERBACKGROUND before blocking the event pump.
