Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();
^~~~~~
It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
