* dos: Some initial work.
* dos: Turn off buffer on stdio SDL_IOStreams.
Seeking breaks otherwise. We might be able to just fflush() before or seeking
instead?
* dos: Audio implementation using the Sound Blaster 16.
* dos: remove audio Pump interface.
Turns out DosBox-X was having trouble with the Sound Blaster or something;
standard DosBox works correctly directly from the interrupt handler, and
without doubling the buffer size.
* dos: just dump and restore the stdio buffer when seeking.
This is MUCH faster than just leaving buffering disabled, and also works
around getting bogus reads after an fseek. SDL_LoadWAV on test/sample.wav
no longer takes several seconds to finish, and comes up with the correct
data.
I wonder if we're triggering this in LoadWAV because we're malloc'ing data
between seeks/reads, and it's causing the djgpp transfer buffer to change. Or
maybe the Fat DS trick is confusing it? I don't know, I haven't had time to
debug it, it might just be a legit libc bug in djgpp too, for all I know.
* dos: Protect audio device "thread" iterations when streams are locked.
This uses an old trick we used in SDL 1.2 for MacOS Classic, which did its
audio callback in a hardware interrupt. If the audio is locked when the
interrupt fires, make a note of it and return immediately. When the lock is
released, if the interrupt has been fired, run the audio device iteration
right then.
Since there isn't a big device lock in SDL3 (available to the app, at least),
this keeps a counter of when any SDL_AudioStream is locked, which is probably
good enough.
* dos: Implemented initial video subsystem.
This uses VESA interfaces to manage the display and works with the software
renderer.
Events aren't hooked up yet, so prepare to close DosBox on each run. :)
* dos: Whoops, forgot to add these to revision control. Core and Main support.
* dos: Wired up basic filesystem support.
This gets most of the rendering examples, which use SDL_GetBasePath() to
find textures to load, working.
* dos: Fixed compiler warning.
* dos: Initial mouse support!
* dos: Move interrupt hooking code into core/dos.
* dos: Initial keyboard support!
* dos: Use a simple ring buffer for keyboard events.
Of course Quake 1 solved this better, haha. It's smart: less memory, dirt
simple, and you don't even have to worry about synchronizing with the
interrupt handler, because it's safe for both sides no matter when an
interrupt fires.
* ci: add djgpp job
[sdl-ci-filter djgpp]
[sdl-ci-artifacts]
* dos: Fix build issues after rebase onto current main
- SDL_runapp.c: Add SDL_PLATFORM_DOS to the exclusion list so the
generic
SDL_RunApp() is disabled when the DOS-specific one is compiled.
- SDL.c: Exclude SDL_Gtk_Quit() on DOS. DJGPP defines __unix__ which
sets
SDL_PLATFORM_UNIX, but DOS has no GTK/display server. The GTK source
is not compiled (CMake UNIX is false for DOS) so this was a link
error.
- sdlplatform.cmake: Add DOS case to SDL_DetectCMakePlatform so the
platform is properly detected from CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=DOS.
- i586-pc-msdosdjgpp.cmake: Add i386-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc as a fallback
compiler name, since some DJGPP toolchain builds use the i386 prefix.

* Refactor Sound Blaster audio mixing to main loop
Move audio mixing out of IRQ handler to main loop for improved
stability and to avoid reentrancy issues. Add SDL_DOS_PumpAudio
function, update DMA buffer handling, and adjust sample rate to 22050
Hz.
Silence stale DMA buffer halves to prevent stutter during load.

cost

* Query and use mouse sensitivity from INT 33h function 0x1B
* Add support for VESA banked framebuffer modes
Implement banked framebuffer access for VBE 1.2+ modes without LFB.
Detect and initialize banked modes, copy framebuffer data using bank
switching, and blank the framebuffer on mode set. Page-flipping is
disabled in banked mode.

CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC is obsolete variable and can be replaced with
CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID (also available since early CMake versions).
In the past CMake versions also LCC and QCC compilers had this varible
set to boolean true but these aren't relevant here.
This reverts commit cd31381185.
Linking libbrcmEGL.so explicitly breaks (causes segmentation faults) in other code that links and runs the X11 EGL.
Reopens https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/14749
At least in my Raspbian Stretch build environment, the vc_dispmanx symbols that were missing are found in libbcm_host.so, which is linked by default.
Make use of check_include_files to be able to also include
stdint.h when checking for the headers. Fixes detection of
usbhid.h on OpenBSD.
/usr/include/usbhid.h:40:2: error: unknown type name 'uint32_t'
40 | uint32_t _usage_page;

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
`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
The script assumed Git's traditional loose refs or packed-refs format.
When cloning with extensions.refstorage=reftable, neither .git/refs/*
nor .git/packed-refs exist, causing cmake configuration to fail.
Fall back to git rev-parse when file-based ref lookup fails.
This PR adds support to the cmake build scripts so to allow building SDL with the Tiny C Compiler (tcc).
TinyCC supports the subset of C99 used by SDL and will complete the build once the --version-script linker flag is removed. The changes have been tested with various build configurations, including X11 and Wayland, and using tcc version 0.9.28rc 2025-10-27 mob@f4e01bfc on x86_64 Linux.
The OpenGL headers are not always implicitly available, so this improves the check by calling `find_package` and using the `OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS` or `OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR` var for the `check_c_source_compiles` test.
The minimum CMake version currently set is 3.16, `OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS` was only added in 3.29, so the code is set to choose `OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS` if it exists. If the minimum CMake version is ever set to >= 3.29 this check can be removed and just the `OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIRS` variable can be chosen.
It happens fairly often that people enable X11 support but don't install the extension libraries that SDL depends on. This makes those required if not explicitly disabled, which should help prevent accidentally broken builds.
This happens to work here because we don't have anything too complex, afaik.
Rejecting strings with underscores was crucial for other things, like video
with all its X11 variables, so this can't be applied to the other subsystems.
(Also, renaming the `SDL_VIDEO_RENDER_OGL_ES2` variable might be nice, too,
but let's keep this simple for now.)
Fixes#13938.
SDL has been building on GNU/Hurd for a long time, using either drivers
based on external libraries (e.g. X11, pulseaudio, sndio, etc) or dummy
drivers. This commit introduces it explicitly as platform, so it can be
recognized, and tweaked as needed. In particular:
- introduce the SDL_PLATFORM_HURD define
- tighten/improve the platform detection in cmake, and use "Hurd" as
identifier
- return the platform name in SDL_GetPlatform()
- tweak the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS so pthreads can be used properly
- implement SDL_GetExeName(), using /proc/self/exe as provided by the
basic Linux-like procfs
- enable GLES 2 in tests (mostly for consistency with Linux)
- Use modern Xkb functions where appropriate and cleanly separate the modern and legacy paths.
- Remove the deprecated XKeycodeToKeysym function in favor of directly querying the keymap on the legacy path.
- Look up virtual modifiers by name on the Xkb path to better handle remapping (equivalent to the modifier handling under Wayland).
- Optimize keymap creation on the Xkb path to cut keymap build times and enable fast group switching (equivalent to keymap handling on Wayland).
- Enable and handle Xkb events to handle changes to the group, mapping, and modifier states. This is more reliable than using the legacy events (group changes may not arrive if the window lacks pointer focus), and better handles cases where modifiers are latched, locked, or activated externally rather than physically pressed.
