A long time ago, it was possible to play neverball on Linux using the accelerometer found in HP laptops.
The kernel exposes the accelerometer as a joystick (/dev/input/jsX) as well as an evdev device (/dev/input/eventX). I guess it worked fine when SDL was using the js interface, but then stopped working here: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/fdaeea9e7567
Looking at current code which uses udev to discover joysticks, it looks for the udev tag ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK.
However udev's internal input_id logic specifically tags accelerometers as ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER and nothing else.
This looks like a good fit for SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK.

As for the issue: This bmp reports bpp=0, therefore SDL_CalculatePitch()
returns pitch==0, which is then fed to SDL_malloc() (which is malloc())
and malloc(0) returns _something_ which is not NULL but not someting
that we expect.. Then testsprite.c:LoadSprite() accesses the pixels
as *(Uint8*)pixels which valrind reports as:
==15533== Invalid read of size 1
==15533== at 0x8048C08: LoadSprite (testsprite.c:45)
==15533== by 0x80492FC: main (testsprite.c:224)
==15533== Address 0x449e588 is 0 bytes after a block of size 0 alloc'd
==15533== at 0x40072B2: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:270)
==15533== by 0x4045719: SDL_CreateRGBSurface (SDL_surface.c:126)
==15533== by 0x40403C1: SDL_LoadBMP_RW (SDL_bmp.c:237)
==15533== by 0x8048BB2: LoadSprite (testsprite.c:36)
==15533== by 0x80492FC: main (testsprite.c:224)
Besides, valrind also reports this:
==15533== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==15533== at 0x40403F3: SDL_LoadBMP_RW (SDL_bmp.c:247)
==15533== by 0x8048BB2: LoadSprite (testsprite.c:36)
==15533== by 0x80492FC: main (testsprite.c:224)
Easy/quick solution would be early-rejecting a bmp with 0 bpp from SDL_bmp.c:SDL_LoadBMP_RW()

SDL_ShowMessageBox on UIKit doesn't do anything special with buttons that are marked with the flag SDL_MESSAGEBOX_BUTTON_RETURNKEY_DEFAULT. According to Apple's documentation on UIAlertController, a button can respond to a return key if it's marked as the preferredAction of the controller. SDL doesn't set a preferredAction currently, so I've attached a patch to fix that.

To reproduce:
1. Run any SDL-based program with a Wayland compositor, orphaning it so that it doesn't have an immediate parent process. (For example, from a terminal, running `supertux2 & disown`.) The program should use the wayland backend, i.e. by setting environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland.
2. Kill the compositor process.
Results:
- The SDL program will keep running.
Expected results:
- The SDL program should close. (What close should mean here, I'm not sure - is injecting an SDL_Quit the appropriate action when a video driver disconnects?)
Build data:
2019-06-22, hg tip (12901:bf8d9d29cbf1), Linux, can reproduce with sway, weston, and other Wayland oompositors.
