Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • UI sample assets are now copied to the configuration-specific runtime output directory, ensuring they are available when running builds across different configurations.
    • Demo buttons now load images from the correct images/ directory.
    • Configured fonts now load from the bundled fonts directory.
    • Deleting text no longer affects widgets without focus or already-empty text.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The build now copies runtime assets into configuration-specific output directories. Image and font paths include asset subdirectories. IODevice and Renderer explicitly disallow copying and moving.

Changes

Runtime assets and backend updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime asset copying and path resolution
CMakeLists.txt, samples/demo/main.cpp, src/backends/sdl2_renderer.cpp
Adds the asset-copy target and makes sample image and font paths include images/ and fonts/ subdirectories.
Backend object ownership contracts
src/backends/sdl2_iodevice.h, src/backends/sdl2_renderer.h
Adds explicit default construction and deletes copy and move operations for IODevice and Renderer. Documents and reformats initRenderer.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d611d

This change can leave sample assets unavailable in single-configuration builds; the resulting font-load failure can crash text rendering. Align the asset output layout, handle failed font loads, and resolve the outstanding CMake compatibility concern before merging.

CMake add_custom_target COMMENT generator expressions supported since which version official documentation

💡 Result:

The use of generator expressions in the COMMENT argument of the CMake add_custom_target command is supported beginning with CMake version 3.26 [1][2][3][4]. Prior to this version, generator expressions were not expanded within the COMMENT field [5].

CMake RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY multi-configuration generators automatic configuration subdirectory single-configuration generator official documentation

💡 Result:

In CMake, the behavior of RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY differs between multi-configuration and single-configuration generators regarding how they manage output paths [1][2]. Official documentation states that for multi-configuration generators (such as Visual Studio, Xcode, and Ninja Multi-Config), CMake automatically appends a per-configuration subdirectory (e.g., /Debug or /Release) to the path specified in RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY [2]. This automatic behavior is suppressed if the specified directory path contains a generator expression (e.g., "$<...>") [2]. In contrast, single-configuration generators do not append such subdirectories automatically [1]. To achieve consistent behavior or precise control across both types of generators, developers frequently employ the following strategies: 1. Using Generator Expressions: By incorporating a generator expression like $&lt;1:...&gt; into the directory path, you can disable the automatic subdirectory appending in multi-configuration generators [3][1]. For example, setting the property to "$&lt;1:${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin>" ensures the output is placed exactly in that directory for all generators [1]. 2. Explicitly Including $: If you prefer to have configuration-specific subdirectories for both generator types, you can explicitly add the $ generator expression to your path (e.g., "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin/$") [1]. 3. Using Per-Configuration Properties: Alternatively, you can use the RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_ property (or the corresponding CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_ variable), which allows you to define specific directories for each configuration without automatic appending [4][5]. Top results: [4], [1], [2], [5]

Citations:


Align the asset destination with the sample output directory.

For a single-configuration generator with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, tiny_ui_sample is placed in bin/tiny_ui_sample, but tiny_ui_copy_assets copies assets to bin/Release. Relative paths such as fonts/... and images/button_test.png can therefore fail when the sample runs from bin. Use the same output layout for the targets and asset copy for every generator.
