* 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.
* Add 8-bit palette support to DOS VESA driver

- Implement double-buffered page-flipping for VBE modes with >1 image
page

switching

key

- Always vsync when blitting in single-buffered modes to reduce tearing
* 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.
* Add DOS timer support and update build config
* Add support for pre-SB16 8-bit mono Sound Blaster audio
Detect SB version and select 8-bit mono or 16-bit stereo mode.
Handle DMA and DSP setup for both SB16 and pre-SB16 hardware.
Add FORCE_SB_8BIT option for testing in DOSBox.
* Add SB Pro stereo support and simplify IRQ handler

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.
* Add optional vsync to page flipping in DOS VESA driver
* Add cooperative threading support for DOS platform
* Move SoundBlaster audio mixing to SDL audio thread
* Fix DOS platform comments and workarounds for DJGPP support

PreseedDOSCache.cmake to pre-populate CMake cache variables for DJGPP.
* cmake: use a 8.3 naming scheme for tests on DOS
* Apply code style
* Update include/SDL3/SDL_platform_defines.h

This still had a bunch of text that wasn't updated for SDL3's ability to deal
with pre-user-interaction pages. Same idea, but changed text that suggested
you have to wait to open the audio device.
