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.

While the CMake build checks for ibus and does enable the ibus backend with set(HAVE_IBUS_IBUS_H TRUE), this does not define SDL_USE_IME, thus CMake built SDL2 (as in Arch Linux) cannot use IME at all.
The attached patch fixes this behaviour when building against ibus. IME support will still fail when only fcitx is available on the build system.

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.
nullcheck the device coming back from InputDevice.getDevice(deviceId) in new code added to sdlactivity.onkey.

This is currently supported on Linux and macOS. iOS and Android are not
supported at all, Windows support could be added with some changes to the libusb
backend. The Visual Studio and Xcode projects do not use this feature.
Based on Valve Software's hid.cpp, written in collaboration with Andrew Eikum.

As I have seen, SDL implements its own command line parser for Windows in SDL_windows_main.c. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to allow command line arguments with trailing backslashes if quoting is required.
Usually, when you write an application that gets command line arguments passed as argc and argv, the parsing is done by parse_cmdline. The Windows API also provides the function CommandLineToArgvW, so an application can parse itself if only the command line string is provided. Both functions behave almost identically according to their documentation. If the argument "\\" (including the quotes) is passed, they both turn it into a single backslash.
The SDL command line parser on the other hand doesn't recognize the second quote character as the closing character in this example and therefore includes it in the parsed argument. The parser does not count the number of backslashes preceding a quote. It always treats a quote as escaped if a backslash is in front of it. Therefore, it should be impossible to quote and escape an argument correctly, if it has a trailing backslash and contains characters that require quoting.
Of course, each application is allowed to implement its own parsing rules, so SDL is free to do so. But the problem I see is that there are arguments, that are impossible to be passed to the parser correctly, as I described above. Is there a reason, why SDL does not simply use CommandLineToArgvW instead of implementing its own parser?
Here are some links that show that correct argument parsing, as it is usually done in Windows, is quite complicated:

Unlike iOS and macOS, tvOS does not have any persistent local storage. In fact, the ApplicationSupport directory pointed to by the existing Cocoa GetPrefPath() throws an error whenever any attempt is made to access it. To get any local storage on an Apple TV, our only option is to use a temporary cache directory.
This patch changes the tvOS PrefPath to this cache directory and also logs a critical warning that this if developers want their save data to persist across game sessions, they must use some form of iCloud storage.
