-Previously they tried to read/write `size` objects of `maxnum` bytes each. Now they try to read/write `size` bytes, which solves concerns about what should happen to the file pointer if only a fraction of an object could be read, etc. The return value is different, too. For reading:
|
|
|
+SDL_RWread() previously returned 0 at end of file or other error. Now it returns the number of bytes read, 0 for end of file, -1 for another error, or -2 for data not ready (in the case of a non-blocking context).
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- SDL_RWread returns the number of bytes read, which will be less than requested on error or EOF.
|
|
|
-- If there was an error but some bytes were read, it will return the number of bytes read.
|
|
|
-- On error when no bytes were read, it returns -1.
|
|
|
-- For non-blocking RWops (new to SDL3!), if we are neither at an error or EOF but it would require blocking to read more data, it returns -2.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-For writing:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- SDL_RWwrite returns the number of bytes written, which might be less on error or if the RWops is non-blocking.
|
|
|
-- If there was an error but some bytes were written, it will return the number of bytes written.
|
|
|
-- On error when no bytes were written, it returns -1.
|
|

-As you can see, RWops can now be non-blocking! There is no API in SDL to
|
|
|
-toggle a RWops to (non-)blocking mode, they must be created as such. The
|
|
|
-existing SDL_RWFrom* functions do not create non-blocking objects, so existing
|
|
|
-code (and much of the code you would care to write by default) does not have
|
|
|
-to contend with this behavior.
|
|
|
+Code that used to look like this:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+ if (!SDL_RWread(context, ptr, size, 1)) {
|
|
|
+ ... handle error
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+should be changed to:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+ if (SDL_RWread(context, ptr, size) != size) {
|
|
|
+ ... handle error
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+or, if you're using a custom non-blocking context or are handling variable size data:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+ Sint64 amount = SDL_RWread(context, ptr, maxsize);
|
|
|
+ if (amount < 0) {
|
|
|
+ ... handle error
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
|
|
+Similarly, SDL_RWwrite() can return -2 for data not ready in the case of a non-blocking context. There is currently no way to create a non-blocking context, we have simply defined the semantic for your own custom SDL_RWops object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SDL_RWFromFP has been removed from the API, due to issues when the SDL library uses a different C runtime from the application.
