On Windows with Visual Studio, when building SDL as a static library using the x86 (32bit) mode, several intrinsic operations are implemented in code in SDL_stdlib.c.
One of these, _allshr() is not properly implemented and fails for some input. As a result, some operations on 64bit data elements (long long) don't always work.
I classified this bug as a blocker since things absolutely don't work when the affected code is invoked. The affected code is only invoked when SDL is compiled in x86 mode on Visual Studio when building a SDL as a static library. This build environment isn't common, and hence the bug hasn't been noticed previously.
I reopened#2537 and mentioned this problem and provided a fix. That fix is provided again here along with test code which could be added to some of the SDL test code. This test code verifies that the x86 intrinsic routines produce the same results as the native x64 instructions which these routines emulate under the Microsoft compiler. The point of the tests is to make sure that Visual Studio x86 code produces the same results as Visual Studio x64 code. Some of the arguments (or boundary conditions) may produce different results on other compiler environments, so the tests really shouldn't be run on all compilers. The test driver only actually exercised code when the compiler defines _MSC_VER, so the driver can generically be invoked without issue.

On systems with old glibc, such mine with glibc-2.8, the following warning
is issued and is fixed easily by defining _GNU_SOURCE:
/home/me/SDL2-2.0.5/src/video/x11/SDL_x11modes.c: In function 'CalculateXRandRRefreshRate':
/home/me/SDL2-2.0.5/src/video/x11/SDL_x11modes.c:263: warning: implicit declaration of function 'round'

I have implemented Drag and Drop and Clipboard support for Wayland.
Drag and dropping files from nautilus to the testdropfile application seems to work and also copy and paste.
This no longer uses a script to generate code for every possible type
conversion or resampler. This caused a bloat in binary size and and compile
times. Now we use a handful of more generic functions and assume staying in
the CPU cache is the most important thing anyhow.
This shrinks the size of the final build (in this case: macOS X amd64, -Os to
optimize for size) by 15%. When compiling on a single core, build times drop
by about 15% too (although the previous cost was largely hidden by multicore
builds).

I realized overnight that my patch probably broke text input events with UIM, and I confirmed that it does. Can't believe I overlooked that... I've been making stupid mistakes in these patches recently, sorry.
Anyway, *this* one seems to fix it properly. Knowing my luck it probably breaks something else.
Patch uses XkbFreeKeyboard to free the memory returned by XkbGetMap.
Earlier implementation called XkbFreeClientMap which frees all the maps
but not data->xkb structure itself, XkbFreeKeyboard will free maps and
the structure.

SDL2 on Haiku so far uses Haiku-specific APIs for loading dynamic objects as add-ons, instead of using dlopen to load them as libraries. This, for example, leads to SDL_mixer not being able to load its audio backends, when compiled with standard settings.
As discussed at https://www.freelists.org/post/haikuports/SDL2-mixer-ogg-music-not-playing-and-other-stuff,2 , the best way to deal with this would be using dlopen instead of load_add_on. The following patch implements this change by dropping the Haiku-specific bits and using dlopen instead.

Apparently, SDL2 on Haiku does not generate SDL_TEXTINPUT events.
Attached is a patch that adds this functionality.
Tested with SDLs own checkkeys program and different keymaps as well as my own SDL application and German keyboard layout to verify it generates the expected input.

On a RaspberryPI, it might become convenient to specify the Dispmanx layer SDL uses.
Currently, it is hardcoded to be 10000 to sit above most applications.
This can be specially useful when integrating other graphical apps and frameworks like OMXplayer, QT5 etc.. in order to have more flexibility on their Z-order.

Unfortunately, simply checking the return codes of "onNativePadDown/Up" as previously done has its own issue:
If an SDL joystick is connected *and* opened, then a proper KeyEvent, say with keycode KEYCODE_BUTTON_1, should lead to an SDL joystick button event as expected.
If, however, the joystick was *not* opened, then "onNativePadDown/Up" will return a negative value, so before the commit from bug 3426, you could unexpectedly get a keyboard event. (In practice, you'll just get a log message, since KEYCODE_BUTTON_1 has no mapping to a proper SDL_ScanCode value, but it's still an problem).
What should still be done, though, is checking the key code itself. We do have the KeyEvent.isGamepadButton method, but according my test, it returns "true" exactly (and only) for the KEYCODE_BUTTON* values, and not for KEYCODE_DPAD* or any other key code.
Here is a possible solution:
- Do check the return codes of "onNativePadDown/Up" as previously done.
- In addition, in "Android_OnPadDown/Up" from src/joystick/android/SDL_sysjoystick.c, 0 should *always* be returned in case the key code can be translated to an SDL_joystick button; Even if no matching joystick can be found.

Maybe the fault is in the SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_WINDOWS section in SDL_InitSubSystem() of "src/SDL.c". Because there only SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK is checked. The flags are adapted for SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER afterwards.

The patch makes StartTextInput/StopTextInput call Xutf8ResetIC ( https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/man/man3/XmbResetIC.3.html ) on the XIC of all SDL windows.
This fixes my use case in Quakespasm (Ubuntu 16.04, system keyboard layout set to German. Type the '^' dead key, which opens Quakespasm's developer console and calls SDL_StartTextInput, then press 'e'. I expect the dead key to be ignored.)
Also, here is a patch for sdl2's "checkkeys" for testing this: https://bugzilla-attachments.libsdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=2451

After a drag and drop event, any following mouse button input (down/up) doesn't generate an event. Clicking any mouse button a *second* time generates an event like it should.
Further investigation shows that the new SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH logic also causes this issue in other cases, like the first time you open the program and click the mouse.

There are currently three entry points in the SDL2_main code for windows: main, wmain and WinMain. Only the latter two properly convert the arguments to UTF-8.
Console applications linked with MSVC will always link with the main entry point (wmain has to be selected by manually setting the entry point). This makes it likely that such programs will not have proper unicode arguments.

After a long time, I found out more clearly what was going wrong.
The native libraries should be built with a "APP_PLATFORM" as low as possible.
Ideally, APP_PLATFORM should be equals to the minSdkVersion of the AndroidManifest.xml
So that the application never runs on a lower APP_PLATFORM than it has been built for.
An additional good patch would be to write explicitly in "jni/Application.mk": APP_PLATFORM=android-10
(If no APP_PLATFORM is set, the "targetSdkVersion" of the AndroidManifest.xml is applied as an APP_PLATFORM to the native libraries. And currently, this is bad, because targetSdkVersion is 12, whereas minSdkLevel is 10.
And in fact, there is a warning from ndk: "Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-12 is larger than android:minSdkVersion 10 in ./AndroidManifest.xml".)
to precise what happened in the initial reported test-case:
Let say the "c" code contains a call to "srand()".
with APP_PLATFORM=android-21, libSDL2.so contains a undef reference to "srand()".
with APP_PLATFORM=android-10, libSDL2.so contains a undef reference to "srand48()".
but srand() is missing on devices with APP_PLATFORM=android-10 (it was in fact replaced by srand48()).
So, if you build for android-21 (where srand() is available), you will really have a call to "srand()" and it will fail on android-10.
That was the issue. The path tried to fix this by in fact always calling srand48().
SDL patches that were applied are beneficial anyway, there are implicitly allowing they backward compatibility of using android-21 on a android-10 platform.
It can be helpful in case you want to target a higher APP_PLATFORM than minSdkVersion to have potentially access to more functions.
Eg you want to have access to GLES3 functions (or other) of "android-21". But, if dlopen() fails (on android-10), you do a fall-back to GLES2.

When running this little test program with SDL2 on Wayland it often crashes in SDL_Init.
From a backtrace it is apparent that there is a race condition in creating a xkb_context_ref. Sometimes it is 0x0.
By moving the relevant lines higher up in Wayland_VideoInit (in SDL2-2.0.4/src/video/wayland/SDL_waylandvideo.c:302) this seems to get fixed.
I moved the call to WAYLAND_xkb_context_new() up to before the call to WAYLAND_wl_display_connect().
Here is the test program (just a loop of init and quit), and a backtrace from gdb:
#include <cstdio>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <unistd.h>

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {

if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0) {
SDL_LogError(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_APPLICATION,
"Couldn't initialize SDL: %s\n",
SDL_GetError());
return 1;
}
std::cout << "Quit" << std::endl;
SDL_Quit();

return 0;
