Summary: SYSWM generic X11 events missing event data [PATCH]

Severity: normal

Description Andrei Drexler 2017-10-23 11:21:55 UTC
Created attachment 3029 [details]
Send SYSWM event from X11_HandleGenericEvent.

For X11 GenericEvents, the associated data is only available between a call to XGetEventData and the matching XFreeEventData, i.e. in X11_HandleGenericEvent. Trying to call XGetEventData a second time on the same event will fail, so an application that wants to inspect XInput2 events (e.g. for stylus pressure) has no way of retrieving its data from queued SYSWM events.

The attached patch (based on SDL-2.0.7-11629) sends SYSWM messages from X11_HandleGenericEvent while the data is still available, allowing client code to register an event filter/watcher and process the event inside the callback.

Tagging a bunch of bugs with "target-2.0.10" so we have a clear list of things to address before a 2.0.10 release.

Please note that "addressing" one of these bugs might mean deciding to defer on it until after 2.0.10, or resolving it as WONTFIX, etc. This is just here to tell us we should look at it carefully, and soon.

If you have new information or feedback on this issue, this is a good time to add it to the conversation, as we're likely to be paying attention to this specific report in the next few days/weeks.

Thanks!
