Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 19:59:06 +0300 From: Pasi K?rkk?inen Subject: [PATCH] fix SDL OpenGL segfault with DRI/Mesa drivers and Glew Hello! The attached patch fixes a bug in SDL which causes SDL to crash in X11_GL_Shutdown() if you are using DRI/Mesa drivers AND glew (http://glew.sf.net). The bug is caused by a namespace collision affecting dlsym() to fetch wrong pointer for glXReleaseBuffersMESA() (uninitialized pointer from glew because the extension is NOT supported by the driver) and then SDL calling it in X11_GL_Shutdown(). SDL should check if the glXReleaseBuffersMESA() is really supported by the driver (from the extensions string) before calling it. Attached patch adds extension string parsing to check if glXReleaseBuffersMESA() is really supported (and this way prevents the segfault). Availability of the extensions should be _always_ checked from the extensions string rather than using dlsym()! Please add it to the next version of SDL. Thanks to gltron and author of glew to help fixing this.

.TH "SDL_BlitSurface" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_BlitSurface\- This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_BlitSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *src, SDL_Rect *srcrect, SDL_Surface *dst, SDL_Rect *dstrect\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This performs a fast blit from the source surface to the destination surface\&.
.PP
Only the position is used in the \fBdstrect\fR (the width and height are ignored)\&.
.PP
If either \fBsrcrect\fR or \fBdstrect\fR are \fBNULL\fP, the entire surface (\fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR) is copied\&.
.PP
The final blit rectangle is saved in \fBdstrect\fR after all clipping is performed (\fBsrcrect\fR is not modified)\&.
.PP
The blit function should not be called on a locked surface\&.
.PP
The results of blitting operations vary greatly depending on whether \fBSDL_SRCAPLHA\fP is set or not\&. See \fISDL_SetAlpha\fR for an explaination of how this affects your results\&. Colorkeying and alpha attributes also interact with surface blitting, as the following pseudo-code should hopefully explain\&. 
.PP
.nf
\f(CWif (source surface has SDL_SRCALPHA set) {
    if (source surface has alpha channel (that is, format->Amask != 0))
        blit using per-pixel alpha, ignoring any colour key
    else {
        if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
            blit using the colour key AND the per-surface alpha value
        else
            blit using the per-surface alpha value
    }
} else {
    if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
        blit using the colour key
    else
        ordinary opaque rectangular blit
}\fR
.fi
.PP
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
If the blit is successful, it returns \fB0\fR, otherwise it returns \fB-1\fR\&.
.PP
If either of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns \fB-2\fR, the video memory was lost, so it should be reloaded with artwork and re-blitted: 
.PP
.nf
\f(CW        while ( SDL_BlitSurface(image, imgrect, screen, dstrect) == -2 ) {
                while ( SDL_LockSurface(image)) < 0 )
                        Sleep(10);
                -- Write image pixels to image->pixels --
                SDL_UnlockSurface(image);
        }\fR
.fi
.PP
 This happens under DirectX 5\&.0 when the system switches away from your fullscreen application\&. Locking the surface will also fail until you have access to the video memory again\&.
