Ok, I followed the simple approach of just making SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32 an alias of SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888/SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ABGR8888, depending on endianess. And I did the same for SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ARGB32, .._BGRA, .._ABGR.
SDL_GetPixelFormatName() will of course return SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888 (or SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ABGR8888) instead of SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32, but as long as that's mentioned in the docs it shouldn't be a problem.
Apparently some systems see "hw:", some see "default:" and some see
"sysdefault:" (and maybe others!). My workstation sees both "hw:" and
"sysdefault:" ...
Try to find a prefix we like and prioritize the prefixes we (think) we want
most. If everything else fails, if there's a "default" (not a prefix) device
name, list that by itself so the user gets _something_ here.
If we can't find a prefix we like _and_ there's no "default" device, report
no hardware found at all.

Just moved ibus direct call to SDL_IME_* related functions, and adds fcitx IME support (uses DBus, too),
enable with env: SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx (ibus still the default one)

Wayland will sometimes send empty resize events (0 width and 0 height) to the client. I have not worked out the exact conditions a client would receive these but I can assume it might be if the window is offscreen or not mapped yet.
This causes issues with some SDL clients as they receive the 0x0 event and unexpected resize event or might not request to resize back to the correct size.
As per the wl_shell Wayland spec configure events are only a suggestion and the client is free to ignore or pick a different size (this is how min/max and fixed aspect ratio is supped to be implemented).
A patch is attached but is just the first iteration and I will fix any issues such as checking for FULLSCREEN/MAXIMIZED or RESIZABLE flags unless someone else fixes this first.
I have update to take into account non resizable and fullscreen windows. Also adding in maximize/restore and title functions for Wayland.

The dummy video driver is not available on Mac OS X if SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL is set at library compilation time.
In src/video/SDL_video.c, there is a compile-time check in SDL_CreateWindow() for (SDL_VIDEO_OPENGL && __MACOSX__). When it succeeds, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL is always requested. Since the dummy video driver does not supply an OpenGL implementation, the error "No OpenGL support in video driver" is supplied to the user, and SDL_CreateWindow() is exited early.

When doing a rotated texture copy with the software renderer, where the angle is a multiple of 90 degrees, one or two edges of the image get cut off. This is because of the following line in sw_rotate.c:
if ((unsigned)dx < (unsigned)sw && (unsigned)dy < (unsigned)sh) {
which is effectively saying:
if (dx >= 0 && dx < src->w-1 && dy >= 0 && dy < src->h-1) {
As a result, it doesn't process pixels in the right column or bottom row of the source image (except when they're accessed as part of the bilinear filtering for nearby pixels). This causes it to look like the edges are cut off, and it's especially obvious with an exact multiple of 90 degrees.

NVidia has released some pretty nice Tegra profiling tools for their Android devices. The NVidia Tegra Graphics Debugger works by providing an interposer library that intercepts ES2 and EGL calls. You must link against these libraries.
Unfortunately, this quietly fails with SDL2 because libEGL and libGLES2 are dynamically loaded with dlopen().
NVidia offers a secondary approach to using the Tegra Graphics Debugger: root your device and install a global interposer library. Almost no devs will try this first if they don?t have a rooted device.
I propose an update to the Android readme that explains why the static linking approach recommended by NVidia doesn?t work.

In function SDLgfx_rotateSurface:
rz_dst =
SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, dstwidth, dstheight + GUARD_ROWS,
rz_src->format->Rmask, rz_src->format->Gmask,
rz_src->format->Bmask, rz_src->format->Amask);
Here rz_src get De-referenced without NULL check, which is risky.

As stated in Summary. The switch statement will execute the default case and set a SDL error message: "SDL_MixAudio(): unknown audio format".
There are atleast two more problems here:
1. SDL_MixAudioFormat does not notify the user that an error has occured and that a SDL error message was set. It took me awhile to understand why I couldn't mix down the volume on my AUDIO_U16LSB formatted audio stream.. until I started digging in the SDL source code.
2. The error message is incorrect, it should read: "SDL_MixAudioFormat(): unknown audio format".

Currently, SDL_CreateRGBSurface() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom() take Uint32 masks for RGBA to "describe" the Pixelformat of the surface.
Internally those value are only used to map to one of the SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum values that are used for further processing.
I think it would be both handy and more efficient to be able to specify SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* yourself without using SDL_PixelFormatEnumToMasks() to create masks first, so I implemented functions that do that:
SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom() which are like the versions without "WithFormat" but instead of taking 4 Uint32s for R/G/B/A masks, they take one for a SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum value.
Together with https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2923 creating a SDL_Surface* from RGBA data (e.g. from stb_image) is as easy as
surf = SDL_SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat(0, w, h, bppToUse*8, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32);

We still include iconv.h in SDL_stdinc.h, probably because this header might have referenced the native iconv functions and types directly. Since these are hidden behind a stable ABI now and never just a #define for the system iconv, we shouldn't need this header included from a public SDL header anymore, slowing down external apps compiles and pulling tons of stuff into the namespace.

Not sure if this is limited to the joystick subsystem,
but I created a minimal program for reproducibility,
which is attached.
The issue occurs with my gamepad Razer Onza (an xbox-style gamepad) plugged in.
On initialization, the gamepad is being recognized.
After quitting the subsystem, the poll will receive the joystick added event,
which it instantly handles itself, calling SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect again,
which this time calls IDirectInput8_EnumDevices with dinput = NULL (after it was released on quit).
This seems to lead to an access violation within said function, which I have no source for.

On Windows, you are able to navigate between the buttons on a MessageBox that was created using SDL_ShowMessageBox using the arrow keys. However, if you press the left arrow key, the selection jumps to the button on the right of the currently selected one (and vice versa).
This can be fixed by reversing the order in which the buttons are added to the dialog.
The attached patch files fixes this problem. However the first press of an arrow key leads to the selection of the leftmost or rightmost button on the MessageBox, not to the selection of the button left/right of the one that is selected by default.

I have been using SDL 2 for a little project that I have been developing for a while. My project is called antimicro and it takes gamepad input and then translates gamepad events into keyboard and mouse events. SDL is used to read the input from an XInput gamepad and it works great for the most part. However, there is one glaring problem that I have encountered.
When a device is unplugged and SDL sends the centered value release events for all axes, buttons, and hats, SDL does not use the proper centered value for the triggers. It pushes an SDL_JOYAXISMOTION event onto the queue with a value of 0 for all axes. That value is converted to around 16,000 for a Game Controller. That value is incorrect for triggers and, in my program, that causes any bindings that are assigned to the triggers to get activated. With most profiles, that will typically mean that a mouse right click and left click will be activated before the device is finally seen as removed and then those bindings are released by antimicro.

At startup time, the single android window is assigned a "windowed" (window->windowed.{w,h}) size based on the current orientation of the mobile device; this size is never updated throughout the lifetime of the app.
This becomes problematic when the app is paused and then resumed in an orientation that it did not start up in. Eventually, 'SDL_OnWindowRestored()' is called, which calls 'SDL_UpdateFullscreenMode()'. This function is very problematic because it is written with a desktop monitor in mind: it tries to find a matching display mode for the windowed size, doesn't find any, and finally applies the windowed size as the fullscreen one. In the end, the windowed size is reported in a RESIZED event, which doesn't correspond to the actual surface size.
To see this in action: Start an orientation aware SDL app in eg. portrait mode, suspend the app, put the device into landscape orientation and resume the app. It will erroneously render in portrait mode (until the device is rotated again).
