libGL.so may register callbacks that can be invoked upon XCloseDisplay().
If XCloseDisplay() is called after libGL.so is unloaded, the callback pointer
will point at freed memory and invoking it will crash.
The texture framebuffer check optimized out in f37e4a9 was causing libGL.so to
never be unloaded as a side-effect. Skipping it exposed this bug by allowing
libGL.so to actually unload.
- cmake, configure (CheckDLOPEN): --enable-sdl-dlopen is now history..
detach the dl api discovery from SDL_LOADSO_DLOPEN functionality.
define HAVE_DLOPEN. also define DYNAPI_NEEDS_DLOPEN (CheckDLOPEN is
called only for relevant platforms.)
- update SDL_config.in and SDL_config.cmake accordingly.
- SDL_dynapi.h: set SDL_DYNAMIC_API to 0 if DYNAPI_NEEDS_DLOPEN is
defined, but HAVE_DLOPEN is not.
- pthread/SDL_systhread.c: conditionalize dl api use to HAVE_DLOPEN
- SDL_x11opengl.c, SDL_DirectFB_opengl.c, SDL_naclopengles.c: rely
on HAVE_DLOPEN, not SDL_LOADSO_DLOPEN.
- SDL_config_android.h, SDL_config_iphoneos.h, SDL_config_macosx.h,
SDL_config_pandora.h, and SDL_config_wiz.h: define HAVE_DLOPEN.

When choosing an X11 Visual for a window based on its GLX capabilities, first
try glXChooseFBConfig (if available) before falling back to glXChooseVisual.
This normally does not make a difference because most GLX drivers create a
Visual for every GLXFBConfig, exposing all of the same capabilities.
For GLX render offload configurations (also know as "PRIME") where one GPU is
providing GLX rendering support for windows on an X screen running on a
different GPU, the GPU doing the offloading needs to use the Visuals that were
created by the host GPU's driver rather than being able to add its own. This
means that there may be fewer Visuals available for all of the GLXFBConfigs the
guest driver wants to expose. In order to handle that situation, the NVIDIA GLX
driver creates many GLXFBConfigs that map to the same Visual when running in a
render offload configuration.
This can result in a glXChooseVisual request failing to find a supported Visual
when there is a GLXFBConfig for that configuration that would have worked. For
example, when the game "Unnamed SDVX Clone" [1] tries to create a configuration
with multisample, glXChooseVisual fails because the Visual assigned to the
multisample GLXFBConfigs is shared with the GLXFBConfigs without multisample.
Avoid this problem by using glXChooseFBConfig, when available, to find a
GLXFBConfig with the requested capabilities and then using
glXGetVisualFromFBConfig to find the corresponding X11 Visual. This allows the
game to run, although it doesn't make me any better at actually playing it...

To be precise, this is about *desktop OpenGL* on X11. For OpenGL ES, EGL is already used (as it's the only way to get an OpenGL ES context), as Sylvain noted above.
To shine some light on why this is needed:
In 99% of all cases, using GLX on X11 is fine, even though it's effectively deprecated in favor of EGL [1]. However, there's at least one use case that *requires* the OpenGL context being created with EGL instead of GLX, and that's DRM_PRIME interoperability: The function glEGLImageTargetTexture2DOES simply doesn't work with GLX. (Currently, Mesa actually crashes when trying that.)
Some example code:
https://gist.github.com/kajott/d1b29c613be30893c855621edd1f212e
Runs on Intel and open-source AMD drivers just fine (others unconfirmed), but with #define USE_EGL 0 (i.e. forcing it to GLX), it crashes. The same happens when using SDL for window and context creation.
The good news is that most of the pieces for EGL support on X11 are already in place: SDL_egl.c is pretty complete (and used for desktop OpenGL on Wayland, for example), and SDL_x11opengl.c has the aforementioned OpenGL-ES-on-EGL support. However, when it comes to desktop OpenGL, it's hardcoded to fall back to GLX.
I'm not advocating to make EGL the default for desktop OpenGL on X11; don't fix what ain't broken. But something like an SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_FORCE_EGL would be very appreciated to make use cases like the above work with SDL.

SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99
This is necessary because we need to see if GLES compat extensions exist.
All of this code (including ShouldUseTextureFramebuffer()) should be
revisited after 2.0.6 ships; ideally we don't make throwaway contexts if
we can avoid it...but maybe we can't. I hear Vulkan is pretty cool.
Fixes Bugzilla #3725.
This patch was originally written by Marc Di Luzio for glX and enhanced by
Maximilian Malek for WGL, etc. Thanks to both of you!
Fixes Bugzilla #3643.
Fixes Bugzilla #3735.

The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile:
- Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can
say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL
driver. (For bug #2570)
- Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum
OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145)
- Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL
driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the
hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X
is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145)
- Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds
the test to the VisualC projects.
With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.
In extremely rare cases, probably due to misconfigured drivers, one might
see this happen, and rather than terminate the process, we try to recover
by reporting an error to the app.
Fixes Bugzilla #3068.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
