I've ran into an issue where I successfully receive SDL_KEY[UP,DOWN] events but not SDL_TEXTINPUT or SDL_TEXTEDITING. In my case the code in SDL_EVDEV_do_text_input() is returning early (on error) prior to calling SDL_SendKeyboardText(). I'm running on the RaspberryPi 3, without X11.
In SDL_EVDEV_do_text_input() there is a condition to check keysyms with a type value below 0xf0, then subtract 0xf0 from type. Without understanding the purpose of this code, I disabled it, recompiled, and I'm getting correct SDL_TEXTINPUT events. I'm going to guess that my hack/fix is going to be problematic in some other environment, but after some initial testing it looks like everything is running fine in my setup.

When calling ioctl(fd, KDGKBTYPE, &type) in SDL_EVDEV_is_console(), we declare type as an 'int'. This should be a 'char'. The subsequent syscall, and kernel code, only writes the lower byte of the word.
See: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c?v=4.4#L399
ucval = KB_101;
ret = put_user(ucval, (char __user *)arg);
I've observed intermittent behavior related to this, and I can force an error condition by using an int initialized to 0xFFFFFFFF. The resulting ioctl will set type to 0XFFFFFF02, and the conditional return in SDL_EVDEV_is_console() will fail.
Recommend changing to char, or masking off unused bits.

I believe this patch should fix it, instead of looping through all the tty's and seemingly selecting the wrong one and corrupting the console I've just made SDL open /dev/tty which is the console attached to the current process anyway.
* Use dispmanx scaling
* There is the new SDL hint SDL_VIDEO_RPI_SCALE_MODE. There are three values.
* The variable can be set to the following values:
* "0" - Window resolution is desktop resolution.
* This is the behaviour of SDL <= 2.0.4. (default)
* "1" - Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution.
* Aspect ratio of requested video resolution will be respected.
* "2" - Requested video resolution will be scaled to desktop resolution
* "3" - Integer scaling. dst_rect is an integral multiple of src_rect. Should prevent scaling artifacts.
* Add aspect ratio hint
* update debian control/rules for retropie
* split configure options onto multiple lines
* disable tslib as it doesn't exist in Debian Jessie but does exist in Raspbian Jessie and we want to use the same binaries on both
* correct configure option to enable opengles
* added libx11-dev dependency for libsdl2-dev

I scratched my head for a while until I realized there's a typo in the command listed in the instructions for universal Mac builds: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/c1bb718f6c3f/docs/README-macosx.md#l24
It should say `g++-fat.sh` but instead it says `g++fat.sh`, which makes `./configure` fail with a C++ preprocessor error.

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>

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

Sometimes an SDL_assert triggers at RPI_WarpMouseGlobal
src/video/raspberry/SDL_rpimouse.c:232 'update'.
It doesn't always reproduce, but it seems to happen when you really bog down the system and the event loop can't update for awhile.
The first time I hit this, I wasn't even using the mouse. I don't call any warp mouse functions either.
I can usually reproduce with a simple program that runs an expensive blocking CPU series of functions which blocks the main loop until complete (can be up to 10 seconds).
Sometimes this assertion gets triggered after that. I'm not sure if
they are related or coincidental.
Disabling the SDL_asserts when compiling SDL will avoid this problem. I actually haven't seen any problems with the mouse when I do this.
On a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Jessie.
Call SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize() directly because we may be in the initialization path and SDL_GetRendererOutputSize() will fail because the renderer magic isn't set up yet.
