There are two issues which are stopping the SDL tests from building on
my machine:
- libunwind is not being linked
- Even if it is, it is missing several symbols.
The first is fixed by having the test programs link against libunwind if
available. Technically, SDL2_test should be linking against it, as it's
used in SDL_test_memory.c, but as SDL2_test is a static library, it
can't itself import libunwind. We just assume that if it's present on
the system, we should link it directly to the test programs. This should
strictly be an improvement, as the only case where this'd fail is if
SDL2 was compiled when libunwind was present, but the tests are being
compiled without it, and that'd fail anyway.
The second is fixed by #define-ing UNW_LOCAL_ONLY before including
libunwind.h: this is required to make libunwind link to predicatable
symbols, in what can only be described as a bit of a farce. There are a
few more details in the libunwind man page, but the gist of it is that
it disables support for "remote unwinding": unwinding stack frames in a
different process (and possibly from a different architecture?):
http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html
Note that I haven't tried this with CMake: I suspect that it'll work,
though, as the CMakeLists.txt seems to have SDL2 link against libunwind if
it's present. This adds an ugly extra dependency to SDL2, but does mean
that issue 1 isn't present. The UNW_LOCAL_ONLY change shouldn't be
build-system-specific.
The version with an implicit pattern rule tended to fail if test/
was built in an "out-of-tree" build directory not below test/, for
example:
cd SDL
mkdir _build-test
( cd _build-test; ../test/configure )
make -C _build-test
as a result of the pattern rule first checking for axis.bmp, then for
../test/axis.bmp, then ../test/../test/axis.bmp, and so on until the
maximum path length was reached.
Note that this requires GNU make. The FreeBSD ports file for SDL seems
to use GNU make (gmake) already, so presumably SDL's build system is
already relying on GNU make extensions.

AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS is an undocumented, internal version of
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR that takes a whitespace-separated list, instead of a
single path to add to the list. It also does not automatically treat
the given path as being relative to the $srcdir, unlike the documented
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
Newer versions of autoconf treat the argument to AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS
as being literal (they do not expand the shell variable), causing
autoreconf to fail if $srcdir is explicitly specified. The argument to
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is checked relative to $srcdir anyway, so there is no
need to specify $srcdir a second time.

Use an 'indices' array
There were a few places throughout the SDL code where values were
clamped using SDL_min() and SDL_max(). Now that we have an SDL_clamp()
macro, use this instead.
On Wayland -- or at least on some Wayland implementations -- windows
aren't shown until something has been rendered into them. For the
'checkkeys' test program, this means that keyboard input isn't
registered, making the program rather useless.
By creating a renderer and presenting once, the window is properly
displayed, and the test behaves as it does under X11 (including
XWayland).
The exact same thing was done with testmessge in 1cd97e2695 (PR #4252)
SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize() doesn't always return a size which is
within the Vulkan swapchain's allowed image extent range.
(This happens on X11 a lot when resizing, which is bug #3287)
Clamp the value we get back from SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize() to this
range. Given the range usually is just a single value, this is almost
always equivalent to just using the min or max image extent, but this
seems logically most correct.
If you continually poll for events it's possible that new events can come in while you're still processing the last one, delaying rendering. This is more likely with high update rate sensors.
When possible use native os functions to make a blocking call waiting for
an incoming event. Previous behavior was to continuously poll the event
queue with a small delay between each poll.
The blocking call uses a new optional video driver event,
WaitEventTimeout, if available. It is called only if an window
already shown is available. If present the window is designated
using the variable wakeup_window to receive a wakeup event if
needed.
The WaitEventTimeout function accept a timeout parameter. If
positive the call will wait for an event or return if the timeout
expired without any event. If the timeout is zero it will
implement a polling behavior. If the timeout is negative the
function will block indefinetely waiting for an event.
To let the main thread sees events sent form a different thread
a "wake-up" signal is sent to the main thread if the main thread
is in a blocking state. The wake-up event is sent to the designated
wakeup_window if present.
The wake-up event is sent only if the PushEvent call is coming
from a different thread. Before sending the wake-up event
the ID of the thread making the blocking call is saved using the
variable blocking_thread_id and it is compared to the current
thread's id to decide if the wake-up event should be sent.
Two new optional video device methods are introduced:
WaitEventTimeout
SendWakeupEvent
in addition the mutex
wakeup_lock
which is defined and initialized but only for the drivers supporting the
methods above.
If the methods are not present the system behaves as previously
performing a periodic polling of the events queue.
The blocking call is disabled if a joystick or sensor is detected
and falls back to previous behavior.
