Current code, search paths, and error messages are written to only consider MoltenVK on macOS as a Vulkan Portability implementation. It's not the only implementation available to the users. gfx-portability [1] has been shown to run a number of titles well, including Dota2, Dolphin Emulator, and vkQuake3, often out-performing MoltenVK in frame rate and stability (see Dolphin benchmark [2]).
There is no reason for SDL to be that specific, it's not using any MVK-specific functions other than the WSI initialization ("VK_MVK_macos_surface"). gfx-portability exposes this extension as well, and a more generic WSI extension is in process. It would be good if SDL was written in a more generic way that expect a Vulkan Portability library as opposed to MoltenVK specifically.

Attached is a minor cleanup patch. It changes the option name of one hint to something better, puts one or two more checks in, and adds explicit casting where warnings could appear otherwise.
I hope the naming of the hints and their options is acceptable. It would be kind of awkward to change them after they get released with an official SDL version.

I had a look at this and made some additions to SDL_wave.c.
The attached patch adds many checks and error messages. For some reason I also added A-law and ?-law decoders. Forgot exactly why... but hey, they're small.
The WAVE format is seriously underspecified (at least by the documents that are publicly available on the internet) and it's a shame Microsoft never put something better out there. The language used in them is so loose at times, it's not surprising the encoders and decoders behave very differently. The Windows Media Player doesn't even support MS ADPCM correctly.
The patch also adds some hints to make the decoder more strict at the cost of compatibility with weird WAVE files.
I still think it needs a bit of cleaning up (Not happy with the MultiplySize function. Don't like the name and other SDL code may want to use something like this too.) and some duplicated code may be folded together. It does work in this state and I have thrown all kinds of WAVE files at it. The AFL files also pass with it and some even play (obviously just noise). Crafty little fuzzer.
Any critique would be welcome. I have a fork of SDL with a audio-loadwav branch over here if someone wants to use the commenting feature of Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/ChliHug/SDL
I also cobbled some Lua scripts together to create WAVE test files:

I got this bug in SDL_ttf:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4524
Sylvain proposed solution:
SDL_RWseek(RWops, 0, RW_SEEK_SET);
And it works, but i can use it my project, because it written in C# with SDL2-CS wrapper and there not export for macroses:
#define SDL_RWsize(ctx) (ctx)->size(ctx)
#define SDL_RWseek(ctx, offset, whence) (ctx)->seek(ctx, offset, whence)
#define SDL_RWtell(ctx) (ctx)->seek(ctx, 0, RW_SEEK_CUR)
#define SDL_RWread(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->read(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWwrite(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->write(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWclose(ctx) (ctx)->close(ctx)
Therefore, I suggest replacing this macros with functions so that they can be exported and used in bindings
java layer runs as if separate mouse and touch was 1,
Use SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS and SDL_HINT_TOUCH_MOUSE_EVENTS
for generating synthetic touch/mouse events
Note that a single USB device is responsible for all 4 joysticks, so a large
rewrite of the DeviceDriver functions was necessary to allow a single device to
produce multiple joysticks.
Visual Studio doesn't define __ARM_ARCH nor _ARM_NEON, but _M_ARM and _M_ARM64,
so SDL_HasNEON() was bypassed.
PF_ARM_NEON_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE doesn't see to be defined (but still works
when defined as 19).
Only __ARM_NEON is defined with Android NDK and arm64-v8a
Tested on ndk-r18, ndk-r13 and also Xcode.
(Visual Studio needs a different fix).
Fixes Bugzilla #4409.

Bug 3993 was "fixed" by #undef'ing bool. But this breaks C99's stdbool.h bool too.
For example, mpv's build fails with:
../audio/out/ao_sdl.c:35:5: error: unknown type name ?bool?
It seems ill-advised to be #undef'ing *anything* here - what if the code including SDL_cpuinfo.h actually wants to use altivec?

Even though my game (dhewm3) doesn't use SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK, SDL_PumpEvent() calls SDL_JoystickUpdate() which ends up calling hid_enumerate() every three seconds, and sometimes on my Win7 box hid_enumerate() takes about 5 seconds, which causes the whole game to freeze for that time.

While trying to build Pixie lisp (https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie), which uses SDL for multimedia output, the mandelbrot example won't build. The problem is that internally pixie uses a templated function to dump a value, and gcc chokes because SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGA8888 is an anonymous enum.
I solved the problem locally by changing from:
enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
};
to:
typedef enum {
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_UNKNOWN,
... etc. ...
SDL_PIXELFORMAT_YUYV = ... etc ...
} SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ENUM;
The net result of this change is that the enum containing SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* is no longer an anonymous enum and can now be used by a templated function.
This local change fixes Pixie lisp for me.
I did notice that you use the idiom
typedef enum {
... etc ...
} SDL_FOO;
elsewhere in your code, so that change to SDL_PIXELFORMAT doesn't look like it would have a negative impact.
Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.
If you enable this, you'll need to link with CoreBluetooth.framework and add something like this to your Info.plist:
<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
<string>MyApp would like to remain connected to nearby bluetooth Game Controllers and Game Pads even when you're not using the app.</string>

SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface makes an internal call to SDL_GetColorKey which can return an error and spams the error log with "Surface doesn't have a colorkey" even though the original function didn't return an error.

The SDL_syswm.h header includes the windows.h header after including begin_code.h which changes the structure packing alignment.
It seems this is not safe as suggested by the following warning :

Forwarding from https://bugs.debian.org/892087 quoting verbatim:
The SDL2 header SDL_cpuinfo.h generates gcc warnings if the program using
it compiles with the -Wundef warning. (In particular, this means that QEMU
builds using it fail on at least sparc hosts, since QEMU dev builds
use both -Wundef and -Werror.).
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_cpuinfo.h:63:5: warning: "HAVE_IMMINTRIN_H" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
#if HAVE_IMMINTRIN_H && !defined(SDL_DISABLE_IMMINTRIN_H)
This tries to load vulkan.framework or libvulkan.1.dylib before MoltenVK.framework
or libMoltenVK.dylib. In the previous version, layers would not work for applications

This patch allows the user to disable the behaviour that blocks the compositor through a new hint: SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR. This allows tools or other windowed applications to behave properly under KWin.
This variable can be set to the following values:
"0" - The indicator bar is not hidden (default for windowed applications)
"1" - The indicator bar is hidden and is shown when the screen is touched (useful for movie playback applications)
"2" - The indicator bar is dim and the first swipe makes it visible and the second swipe performs the "home" action (default for fullscreen applications)

As discussed in 2012 the iOS onscreen keyboard hides when you hit RETURN (see https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/on-screen-keyboard-change/19216).
IMO this is a bad idea to not be able to influence this behavior and just recently this was fixed for Android by adding the hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_RETURN_HIDES_IME in changeset 11768 6ce3bb5e38a5.

According to this GCC bug report, altivec.h requires building with the gnu extensions: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78263.
As an application developer, I don't want SDL to force me to enable the gnu extensions.
This isn't complete, but is enough to run testsprite2. It's currently
Mac-only; with a little work to figure out how to properly glue in a Metal
layer to a UIView, this will likely work on iOS, too.
This is only wired up to the configure script right now, and disabled by
default. CMake and Xcode still need their bits filled in as appropriate.
XAudio2 doesn't have capture support, so WASAPI was to replace it; the holdout
was WinRT, which still needed it as its primary audio target until the WASAPI
code code be made to work.
The support matrix now looks like:
WinXP: directsound by default, winmm as a fallback for buggy drivers.
Vista+: WASAPI (directsound and winmm as fallbacks for debugging).
WinRT: WASAPI

We need to use GLES2 to implement true cross-platform code.
New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

I noticed that after updating SDL to 2.0.6 my application now exports SDL_main.
At GitHub SDL mirror (branch 2.0.5) SDL_main prototyped as
extern C_LINKAGE int SDL_main(int argc, char *argv[]);
but at branch 2.0.6 prototype is
extern C_LINKAGE DECLSPEC int SDL_main(int argc, char *argv[]);

EMX declares _beginthread() / _endthread() in stdlib.h, not process.h.
The attached patch updates the OS/2 case of SDL_thread.h for it. (It
also tidies the unreadable whitespace in win32 case.)
Note that apps submitted to the iOS App Store *must* use a modern iOS SDK (currently iOS 10 is probably the minimum), however the SDK used to build is separate from the minimum iOS version an app supports at runtime.

The patch below changes HAVE_COPYSIGN macro in SDL_config_windows.h to
HAVE__COPYSIGN, so that _copysign() can be used in SDL_stdlib.h which
is available in many more windows-targeting toolchains such as MinGW,
MSVC >= 6, etc, and not just MSVC >= 2013. SDL_stdlib.c already has a
specific check for HAVE__COPYSIGN, so I believe this is reasonable.
Simon Hug
When RWops seeks with fseek or fseeko it uses the types long or off_t which can be 32 bits on some platforms. stdio_seek does not check if the 64-bit integer for the offset fits into a 32-bit integer. Offsets equal or larger than 2 GiB will have implementation-defined behavior and failure states would be very confusing to debug.
The attached patch adds range checking by using the macros from limits.h for long type and some bit shifting for off_t because POSIX couldn't be bothered to specify min and max macros.
It also defines HAVE_FSEEKI64 in SDL_config_windows.h so that the Windows function gets picked up automatically with the default config.
And there's an additional error message for when ftell fails.
Ozkan Sezer
HAVE_LIBSAMPLERATE_H is depending on HAVE_LIBC in current config.h.in:
it shouldn't be. HAVE_LIBUDEV_H, HAVE_DBUS_DBUS_H, HAVE_IBUS_IBUS_H,
HAVE_FCITX_FRONTEND_H, and HAVE_ALTIVEC_H have the same situation too.
I suggest something like the following, which moves them out of the
HAVE_LIBC confinement and also moves the windows dx header stuff along
side them. (Not ideal, but a bit cleaner I think.)
Ozkan Sezer
Cmake checks for float.h, but configure does not: the attached patch
adds float.h to checked headers in configury, and it adds the missing
HAVE_FLOAT_H macro to SDL_config.h.cmake and SDL_config.h.in.
In SDL_config_macosx.h and SDL_config_windows.h, defined HAVE_FLOAT_H
as 1, where I know that it's true.

Revision 288 (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/2f5a6062db86) excluded the
Watcom compiler from forcing 4 byte structure packing in begin_code.h.
However, it missed updating close_code.h, which now has an unbalanced
#pragma pack(pop) if the compiler is Watcom. The issue seems to have
crawled into SDL2, too.

We would like to add a switch (define) that allows us to compile Angle statically with SDL. That is, getting rid of the OpenGL DLL. Usually you need OpenGL to be loaded dynamically as DLL because implementation is provided by the system but no need with Angle.
Only 2 files need modification and it shouldn't affect current behaivor:
include/SDL_egl.h and src/video/SDL_egl.c, as in here
https://github.com/native-toolkit/sdl/pull/10/files
The flag name could be SDL_VIDEO_STATIC_ANGLE (instead of NATIVE_TOOLKIT_STATIC_ANGLE) as discussed here https://github.com/native-toolkit/sdl/pull/10
We have tested this with both Windows and UWP, using NME engine (https://github.com/haxenme/nme).

The event timestamp members should be documented to indicate their meaning and units.
Currently the timestamps are populated using SDL_GetTicks() in SDL_PushEvent() in SDL_events.c.

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

I've written a small patch that adds a small SDL_DuplicateSurface function to SDL. I've written the function as part of a larger (as yet unfinished) patch, but I think this function is useful enough that it merits inclusion in SDL on its own.

Attached three patches, so these minor os/2 bits get registered mainstream:
1. SDL_syswm.h: add SDL_SYSWM_OS2 to SDL_SYSWM_TYPE enum
2. SDL_platform.h: recognize __EMX__ too as __OS2__
3. begin_code.h: set SDLCALL as _System for OS/2.
