When using shared linking (linking in the normal way with
-lwayland-client) rather than loading Wayland libraries dynamically at
runtime, listing symbols that don't exist in the current version results
in a build failure. We don't actually call wl_proxy_marshal_flags() or
wl_proxy_marshal_array_flags() directly; the reason we need them is
that they're called by the code generated by wayland-scanner >= 1.20.
If we're building against an older Wayland library, then we'll have its
corresponding version of wayland-scanner (mismatched versions are not
supported), so we won't need those two symbols, and can avoid generating
a dependency on them.
Conversely, if we're building against a newer Wayland library, the
generated code will call them unconditionally, so we cannot treat them as
optional and gracefully fall back: that would result in a crash. Instead,
treat them as a mandatory part of the Wayland library, so that if they
are not found at runtime, we can fall back to X11 without crashing.
libwayland 1.18 is in several LTS distributions (Ubuntu 20.04,
Debian 11, RHEL 8) so avoiding a hard dependency on 1.20 is quite
useful.

Resolves: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5376
Using wl-output to get the desktop display dimensions and dividing by the integer scale factor will not return the correct result when using a desktop with fractional scaling (e.g. a 3840x2160 display at 150% will incorrectly report the scaled desktop area as 1920x1080 instead of 2560x1440). Use the xdg-output protocol, if available, to retrieve the correct desktop dimensions and offset.
Versions 1 through 3 of the protocol are supported.
- which also enable/disable the orientation lock status.
This is only provided when the window is not SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN (see SDL_video.c).
Final orientation also depends on SDL_HINT_ORIENTATIONS.
The Java code needs the native functions to be implemented, even if
they're not surfaced via the C API, therefore, a stub version of
functions were made only to the purpose of "fill the gaps" when
SDL_HIDAPI_DISABLED set to 1.
if SDL_EnumUnixAudioDevices() fails to find any devices,
set an error message on the exit path. Without this,
SDL_Init() could fail without any message available
in SDL_GetError().
This isn't obvious, but makes sense when thinking about how games actually use it. This is also in line with how Windows mouse relative mode is implemented.

Here's an IRC dump that hopefully explains the issue this fixes:
> I'm debugging something odd where, for a libre game,
unvanquished.net (a FPS), relative mouse input in fullscreen is
buggy
> it's like, working mostly ok, but it has a weird
performance/cleanup bug
> after some time in relative mouse input mode, some time as low
as 15s, usually more, the SDL sends A LOT of relative mouse
input per frame
> almost all of which have xrel==0 && yrel==0
> by A LOT, I mean that after ~1min, it's usually in the
thousands per frame
> each frame, a while ( SDL_PollEvent( &e)) loop reads the
inputs, but it seems SDL is not clearing the list.
> one way to clear the list is to open the in-game console or
menu, which switches the input mode to absolute, then close it
which gets a working relative input mode (for some time at least)
> I've shown the issue to be present with SDL2.0.20 but not with
2.0.14 on my system
> some other players on Arch Linux (SDL2.0.20) report a possibly
related issue, where some keys seem to be pressed at random
> I've did some bisection on SDL master, and I've found that
there are actually two commits involved, one breaking it
totally (no input at all), and one fixing it partially (with
the problem described above)
First related commit that breaks it totally:
commit 82793ac279d19b5bde8fc2bd62877b05ba5a76e0
Author: Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org>
Date: Thu Oct 14 14:26:21 2021 -0700
Fixed mouse warping while in relative mode
We should get a mouse event with an absolute position and no relative motion and shouldn't change the OS cursor position at all
Second related commit, that halfway fixes it:
commit 31f8c3ef4409a93fafa894b78c2ce176bd0c3cf3
Author: Sam Lantinga <slouken@libsdl.org>
Date: Thu Jan 6 11:27:44 2022 -0800
Fixed event pump starvation if the application frequently pushes its own events
Reverting the first commit did fix the issue for me, but would
probably reintroduce the bug it was fixing(?). This patch should
fix it for everyone hopefully.
https://github.com/DaemonEngine/Daemon/issues/600 is the upstream
bug, and contains some early investigation.
