Subject: Re: [SDL] [patch] MMX alpha blit patches with MMX detection
I think everything is correct now. I've done as much testing as I could,
but some real-world testing wouldn't hurt, I think.
The patch is here : http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~marchesin/sdl_mmxblit.patch
If you do byte-by-byte comparison of the output between C and MMX
functions, you'll notice that the results for 555 and 565 RGB alpha
blits aren't exactly the same. This is because MMX functions for 555 and
565 RGB have an higher accuracy. If you want the exact same behaviour
that's possible by masking the three lower alpha bits in the MMX
functions. Just ask !
I removed one MMX function because after I fixed it to match its C
equivalent, it revealed to be slower than the C version on a PIII
(although a bit faster on an Athlon XP).
I've also added MMX and PIII replacements for SDL_memcpy. Those provide
some speed up in testvidinfo -benchmark (at least for me, under linux &
X11).

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch: * Use /etc/fb.modes, if available, like GGI does * 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 MacOS 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 * Use RDTSC for timer resolution on x86 hardware * 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)
