In src\timer\windows\SDL_systimer.c there is an error with regards to timeBeginPeriod and timeEndPeriod. These functions typically get called when no high resolution timer is available, and GetTickCount is not used.
According to MSDN (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757624(v=vs.85).aspx), for every call to timeBeginPeriod a subsequent call to timeEndPeriod is required. While SDL is currently doing this, it fails to call timeEndPeriod when cleaning up/shutting down SDL. Please note that these functions affect things on a system level. Failing to call timeEndPeriod, disables applications for using WINMM-timers after usage&shutdown of SDL, as effectively they the mechanism is now broken.
Solution:
Ensure this code gets called when shutting down the timer subsystem:
#ifndef USE_GETTICKCOUNT
if (!hires_timer_available)
{
timeSetPeriod(0);
}
#endif
SDL 2.x recently accepted patches to enable OpenGL ES 2 support via Google's ANGLE library. The thought is to try to eventually merge SDL/WinRT's OpenGL code with SDL-official's.
SDL_syssem.c:159 comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true
Solved by comparing unsigneds directly
SDL_systimer.c:164: warning: control may reach end of Compile
Solved by returning the default value if all else fails.
SDL_androidgl.c:41:1: warning: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'
SDL_androidgl.c:47:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
Solved by adding void return type to the function implementation
If the app is in landscape mode and the user presses the power button, a pause
is followed immediately by a surfaceChanged event because the lock screen
is shown in portrait mode. This triggers a "false" resume.
So, we just pause and resume following the onWindowFocusChanged events.
Also, wait for SDL_APP_WILLENTERBACKGROUND and SDL_APP_DIDENTERBACKGROUND before
blocking the event pump.
