minimal test case

SDL_RenderCopy clips dstrect against the viewport. Then it adjusts the
srcrect by "appropriate" amount of pixels. This amount is actually
wrong, quite a lot, because of the rounding errors introduced in the "*
factor / factor" scale.

            real_srcrect.x += (deltax * real_srcrect.w) / dstrect->w;
            real_srcrect.w += (deltaw * real_srcrect.w) / dstrect->w;

For example:

I have a 32 x 32 srcrect and a 64 x 64 dstrect. So far the
stretching is done perfectly, by a factor of 2.

Now, consider dstrect being clipped against the viewport, so it becomes
56 x 64. Now, the factor becomes 1.75 ! The adjustment to "srcrect"
can't handle this, cause srcrect is in integers. 

And thus we now have incorrect mapping, with dstrect not being in the
right proportion to srcrect.

The problem is most evident when upscaling stuff, like displaying a 8x8
texture with a zoom of 64 or more, and moving it beyond the corners of
the screen. It *looks* really really bad.

Note: RenderCopyEX does no such clipping, and is right to do so. The fix would be to remove any such clipping from RenderCopy too. And then fix the software renderer, because it has the same fault, independently of RenderCopy.

this leaves Software Renderer buggy, as it does it's own clipping later on
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2013-08-01 12:17:34 UTC
This patch is applied, which fixes it for the 3D renderers.
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/c128ed448c30

I'm leaving this bug open for the software renderer to be fixed post 2.0 release.
You can reproduce it by taking the test case and running:
SDL_RENDER_DRIVER=software ./rect

Thanks!
