Significantly improved XIM support.
Fixes Bugzilla #429.
Selected notes from the patch's README:
= FIXES =
This patch fixes the above issues as follows.
== X11 events ==
Moved XFilterEvent just after XNextEvent so that all events are passed
to it. Also, XFilterEvent will receive masks indicated by IM through
XNFilterEvents IC value as well as masks surpplied by SDL.
X11_KeyRepeat is called between XNextEvent and XFilterEvent, after
testing an event is a KeyRelease. I'm not 100% comfortable to do so,
but I couldn't find a better timing to call it, and use of the
function is inevitable.
== Xutf8LookupString ==
Used a longer buffer to receive UTF-8 string. If it is insufficient,
a dynamic storage of the requested size will be allocated. The
initial size of the buffer is set to 32, because the Japanese text
converted from the most widely used benchmark key sequence for
Japanese IM, "WATASHINONAMAEHANAKANODESU." has ten Japanese characters
in it, that occupies 30 bytes when encoded in UTF-8.
== SDL_keysym.unicode ==
On Windows version of SDL implementation, SDL_keysym.unicode stores
UTF-16 encoded unicode characters, one UTF-16 encoding unit per an SDL
event. A Unicode supplementary characters are sent to an application
as two events. (One with a high surrogate and another with a low
surrogate.) The behavior seems reasonable since it is upward
compatible with existing handling of BMP characters.
I wrote a UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion function for the purpose. It is
designed with the execution speed in mind, having a minimum set of
features that my patch requires.

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with S60 3.x / Symbian 9.x ============================================================================== These instuctions are for people developing for S60 3.x. S60 3.x uses Symbian OS so you need S60 SDK. extract "symbian.zip" into this folder. go to symbian folder bldmake bldfiles abld build That produces WINSCW and ARMV5 versions of sdl.dll runtime library and sdl.lib for development. Eaudiolib.lib and dll are generated as well, and must be delivered along SDL as it uses it for audio. There are certain problems with GCC compiler when building for target, it may compile or binaries are buggy - please use RVCT compiler as it works and produces far more effient code. Its likely that SDL application should be integrated into S60 work and behave well there. So there is CSDL class (sdlepocapi.h) to make this easy. If you do porting from other system, then implement a S60 application and use CSDL class, they you may not need to modify original SDL code at all!
