Fixed bug #15 SDL_blit_A.mmx-speed.patch.txt -- Speed improvements and a bugfix for the current GCC inline mmx asm code: - Changed some ops and removed some resulting useless ones. - Added some instruction parallelism (some gain) The resulting speed on my Xeon improved upto 35% depending on the function (measured in fps). - Fixed a bug where BlitRGBtoRGBSurfaceAlphaMMX() was setting the alpha component on the destination surfaces (to opaque-alpha) even when the surface had none. SDL_blit_A.mmx-msvc.patch.txt -- MSVC mmx intrinsics version of the same GCC asm code. MSVC compiler tries to parallelize the code and to avoid register stalls, but does not always do a very good job. Per-surface blending MSVC functions run quite a bit faster than their pure-asm counterparts (upto 55% faster for 16bit ones), but the per-pixel blending runs somewhat slower than asm. - BlitRGBtoRGBSurfaceAlphaMMX and BlitRGBtoRGBPixelAlphaMMX (and all variants) can now also handle formats other than (A)RGB8888. Formats like RGBA8888 and some quite exotic ones are allowed -- like RAGB8888, or actually anything having channels aligned on 8bit boundary and full 8bit alpha (for per-pixel alpha blending). The performance cost of this change is virtually 0 for per-surface alpha blending (no extra ops inside the loop) and a single non-MMX op inside the loop for per-pixel blending. In testing, the per-pixel alpha blending takes a ~2% performance hit, but it still runs much faster than the current code in CVS. If necessary, a separate function with this functionality can be made. This code requires Processor Pack for VC6.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_SetGammaRamp\- Sets the color gamma lookup tables for the display
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SetGammaRamp\fP\fR(\fBUint16 *redtable, Uint16 *greentable, Uint16 *bluetable\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Sets the gamma lookup tables for the display for each color component\&. Each table is an array of 256 Uint16 values, representing a mapping between the input and output for that channel\&. The input is the index into the array, and the output is the 16-bit gamma value at that index, scaled to the output color precision\&. You may pass NULL to any of the channels to leave them unchanged\&.
.PP
This function adjusts the gamma based on lookup tables, you can also have the gamma calculated based on a "gamma function" parameter with \fISDL_SetGamma\fR\&.
.PP
Not all display hardware is able to change gamma\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns -1 on error (or if gamma adjustment is not supported)\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
