Converting from UTF-8 to UTF-16 could have resulted in a buffer overflow if the buffer size was exactly the length of the converted string.
Pass string_view/span to convert_from/to_fs instead, and ensure the buffer is terminated. This replaces passing a pointer to the buffer and the buffer size as separate parameters, allowing the compiler to pass both in one parameter.
Removes use of `lengthof()`.
It is very likely Vista hasn't been working for years, but the
amount of users that use an OS that has been EoL for over 11 years
is very small, so reports happen rarely.
On Windows in fullscreen you cannot reach the top with
the cursor for the halve of the height of your toolbar.
Additionally, on Win10 in fullscreen you can see the actual toolbar.
Vsync should be off by default, as for most players it will be
better to play without vsync. Exception exist, mainly people who
play in fullscreen mode.
Handle printable input only when the matching WM_CHAR message is incoming.
Without an edit box, do the handling in keydown as usual to support hotkeys.
This allows drawing to happen while the GameLoop is doing an
iteration too.
Sadly, not much drawing currently can be done while the GameLoop
is running, as for example PollEvent() or UpdateWindows() can
influence the game-state. As such, they first need to acquire a
lock on the game-state before they can be called.
Currently, the main advantage is the time spend in Paint(), which
for non-OpenGL drivers can be a few milliseconds. For OpenGL this
is more like 0.05 milliseconds; in these instances this change
doesn't add any benefits for now.
This is an alternative to the former "draw-thread", which moved
the drawing in a thread for some OSes. It has similar performance
gain as this does, although this implementation allows for more
finer control over what suffers when the GameLoop takes too
long: drawing or the next GameLoop. For now they both suffer
equally.
Drawing in a thread is a bit odd, and often leads to surprising
issues. For example, OpenGL would only allow it if you move the
full context to the thread. Which is not always easily done on
all OSes.
In general, the advise is to handle system events and drawing
from the main thread, and do everything else in other threads.
So, let's be more like other games.
Additionally, putting the drawing routine in a thread was only
done for a few targets.
Upcoming commit will move the GameLoop in a thread, which will
work for all targets.
