SDL_ShowMessageBox calls SDL_CaptureMouse which, in the UIKit driver, raises a ?That operation is not supported? error, overwriting the SDL error that an application may be trying to report.
This is because UIKit SDL_CaptureMouse returns SDL_Unsupported() which ends up calling SDL_SetError() which has the following code:
/* If we are in debug mode, print out an error message */
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", SDL_GetError());
The SDL_GetError call here overwrites the static buffer?..
Although an application can avoid this by using SDL_GetErrorMsg(char* errstr, int maxlen) to avoid the static buffer, SDL should be fixed.
The fix is simple. In SDL_SetError change
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", SDL_GetError());
to
SDL_LogDebug(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_ERROR, "%s", error);
where error is the pointer to the buffer where it assembled the message.
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().
