Fixed bug #1111 kwm@rainbow-runner.nl 2011-01-30 06:28:27 PST When building sdl 1.2.14 with the Clang compiler http://clang.llvm.org . The build fails in src/video/mmx.h with the following error: -------------------------------------------------- ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:5: error: invalid operand for instruction CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:17: note: instantiated from: CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:831:5: note: instantiated from: CHOOSE_BLIT(RLECLIPBLIT, alpha, fmt); ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:647:23: note: instantiated from: blitter(2, Uint8, ALPHA_BLIT16_565MMX); \ ^ ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:282:4: note: instantiated from: movq_r2m(mm3, *dstp); \ ^ In file included from ./src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c:99: ./src/video/mmx.h:379:28: note: instantiated from: #define movq_r2m(reg, var) mmx_r2m(movq, reg, var) ^ <scratch space>:192:1: note: instantiated from: "movq" ^ <inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here movq %mm3, %dx ^ -------------------------------------------------- According to the clang developers this is a invalid inline assembly. Using the attached patch from the last commit in the below bug report fixes the compile. More details from: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6730

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for Mac OS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
