There is no particular reason why backends that don't need to
calculate screen dimensions in advance should still need to
implement initSizeHint at this point.
This flag is removed for a few reasons:
* Engines universally set this flag to true for widths > 320,
which made it redundant everywhere;
* This flag functioned primarily as a "force 1x scaler" flag,
since its behaviour was almost completely undocumented and users
would need to figure out that they'd need an explicit non-default
scaler set to get a scaler to operate at widths > 320;
* (Most importantly) engines should not be in the business of
deciding how the backend may choose to render its virtual screen.
The choice of rendering behaviour belongs to the user, and the
backend, in that order.
A nearby future commit restores the default1x scaler behaviour in
the SDL backend code for the moment, but in the future it is my
hope that there will be a better configuration UI to allow users
to specify how they want scaling to work for high resolutions.
This change allows:
* Engines to update their target rendering surface/size and pixel
format with the backend multiple times during gameplay;
* Users to resize the ScummVM window without having it reset
size/position every time an engine updates its target surface
format;
* Conversions/scaling to continue to run efficiently in hardware,
instead of requiring engines to pick their maximum possible
output format once and upscale inefficiently in software;
* The window to reset size once when an engine calls to set its
initial output size, and to reset again once ScummVM returns to
the launcher.
This is relevant for at least SCI32 and DreamWeb engines, which
perform graphics mode switches during games.
_hwscreen is always initialized to 16bpp so the supported 32bpp
pixel formats would never be put into the list of supported pixel
formats, making it useless for engines to query for usable 32bpp
pixel formats.
This patch changes things so that the native desktop pixel format
is at the top of the supported formats list, and all pixel formats
<= the default desktop pixel format will now show up in the list
of supported formats. ("Supported" is somewhat of a misnomer here
since there is no hardware querying beyond checking the default
desktop pixel format. SDL generally accepts a wide variety of pixel
formats and tries to convert them to whatever the hardware
supports.)
Previously we were clearing the whole backbuffer for 3 frames after a
window size change, and then only clearing the game area. This assumes
the OpenGL driver uses at most 3 render buffer and uses them in
sequential order. This does not seem to be the case on Linux when using
an Intel integrated GPU.
Instead we now clear the whole backbuffer on each frame to make sure
there are no leftovers remaining on the screen. All semi-recent GPUs
should have hardware clear anyway so this should not impact negatively
performance.
Possibly fixes#10025.
This fixes tons of warnings with clang from a recent xcode version on
macOS (and possibly other systems) complaining that an instantiation
of _singleton is required but no definition is available.
Destroying and recreating the SDL window whenever the video mode
changes in SDL2 is not necessary and causes several problems:
1. In windowed mode, the game window shifts position;
2. In fullscreen mode in macOS, every time the window is
recreated, it causes the OS to play its switch-to-fullscreen
animation again and emit system alert noises;
3. The window content flickers; and
4. The engine loses events from the old destroyed window.
This patch changes the SDL backend code to avoid destroying and
recreating the SDL window when using SDL2, except when switching
OpenGL modes, since there is no way to change the OpenGL feature
of a window.
There are still some outstanding issues with OpenGL where window
size ends up getting reset even though the user has resized it;
this will probably need to be addressed at some point in another
patch.
Thanks to @bgK and @criezy for their feedback which made this
patch much better.

Updating the cursor's texture is not necessary if it is not going to be drawn.
Fixes glDrawArrays sometimes failing due to using a framebuffer with an
incomplete color attachment. In SCI32 games, the framebuffer is incomplete
because the engine does not define pixel data for the cursor.
Crtl-Alt-f now enables/disables filtering instead of changing the
graphics mode. Since there is only one graphics mode now, a hotkey
to change it is a bit useless.
This replaces the two graphics modes "OpenGL (No filtering)" and
"OpenGL". Now there is a single "OpenGL" mode and filtering is
controlled by the kFeatureFilteringMode.
Previous releases also did full screen updates for transparent OSD messages.
There should be no performance regression with that regard.
Computing smaller update rects is non trivial, but should be looked into if
performance is an issue for OSD icons.
Fixes#9598
Those outdated resize events are sent from SDL_DestroyWindow when the
window is fullscreen and doesn't have the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP
flag (thus Surface SDL is not affected). Switching resolutions in fullscreen, or
switching from fullscreen to windowed will therefore cause a resize event to
be received with the former fullscreen resolution after we have already setup
the window to use the new resolution. If we don't ignore this event we end up
with a texture size and a window size that are not consistent and for example
see only a part of the texture (if the old resolution is bigger than the new one.
