Bug 2257

Summary: Shaped Windows under Mac OS X
Product: SDL Reporter: Jeffrey Carpenter <i8degrees>
Component: videoAssignee: Alex Szpakowski <amaranth72>
Status: RESOLVED ABANDONED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: blocker    
Priority: P2 CC: i8degrees
Version: 2.0.1   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Mac OS X 10.8   

Description Jeffrey Carpenter 2013-11-21 04:28:33 UTC 
The shaped window test -- test/testshape.c -- from the HG master trunk crashes on me. A bit of debugging shows that it appears to be a pointer released too early: src/video/cocoa/SDL_cocoashape.m at line 95 (initializing a NSBezierPath object). If I change 'autorelease' to 'init', the crash disappears, but I am still left with just a regular window insteaad of a shaped one. 

This same test works for me as expected on the Windows platform. Is there official OS X shaped window support for SDL2 or is the implementation still incomplete?

Thanks, cheers!

P.S. I am running on OS X v10.9 "Mavericks", not v10.8 as I have for the list input box for OS -- I found no label for Mac OS X v10.9!

Thanks for the crash fix. I've committed it to source control:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7e9b97eb8aa3

The window shape code is stalled. The problem is that it works well as-is... unless you draw with OpenGL into the window. Since that's the only way SDL supports drawing into the window, that's kind of problematic.

Any ideas?

Sorry, unfortunately I do not.

Thanks!

Hello, and sorry if you're getting dozens of copies of this message by email.

We are closing out bugs that appear to be abandoned in some form. This can happen for lots of reasons: we couldn't reproduce it, conversation faded out, the bug was noted as fixed in a comment but we forgot to mark it resolved, the report is good but the fix is impractical, we fixed it a long time ago without realizing there was an associated report, etc.

Individually, any of these bugs might have a better resolution (such as WONTFIX or WORKSFORME or INVALID) but we've added a new resolution of ABANDONED to make this easily searchable and make it clear that it's not necessarily unreasonable to revive a given bug report.

So if this bug is still a going concern and you feel it should still be open: please feel free to reopen it! But unless you respond, we'd like to consider these bugs closed, as many of them are several years old and overwhelming our ability to prioritize recent issues.

(please note that hundred of bug reports were sorted through here, so we apologize for any human error. Just reopen the bug in that case!)

Thanks,
--ryan.
