As the implementation requires C++, the user will have to include SDL_main.h in a C++ source file (that needs to be compiled with /ZW). It's ok to keep the standard main() implementation in plain C and use an otherwise empty C++ source file for the SDL_main implementation part, if both source files #include <SDL3/SDL_main.h> Including SDL_main.h in a C source file will print a message at compilation (when building for WinRT or possibly other not yet implemented platforms that require C++ for main), to remind the user of also including it in a .cpp source file. This message/warning can be disabled with #define SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL before including SDL_main.h in the C file. When including it in a .cpp file, there will be a compiler error with helpful message if it's not compiled with /ZW For this I renamend _SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL to SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL, because now it's not for internal use only anymore, but also useful for users (that want their main() function in a different file than the SDL_main implementation) Add a project for the testdraw2.c test to the WinRT solution to at least get some minimal testing on WinRT. I won't add all tests because it's a lot of manual clicking per test, but this should be better than nothing :)
Simple DirectMedia Layer
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
SDL officially supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Support for other platforms may be found in the source code.
SDL is written in C, works natively with C++, and there are bindings available for several other languages, including C# and Python.
This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found in the file "LICENSE.txt".
The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
