SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

As of 2.0.6, all of my games are failing with the following error:
process 31778: arguments to dbus_type_is_basic() were incorrect, assertion "dbus_type_is_valid (typecode) || typecode == DBUS_TYPE_INVALID" failed in file dbus-signature.c line 322.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.
src/audio/bsd/SDL_bsdaudio.c
src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c
src/audio/sun/SDL_sunaudio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

In the normal case we'll load all the keymaps from the kernel, but this reduces the size of the SDL library for the fallback case when we can't get to the tty.

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.

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.

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.

Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();
^~~~~~
It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.

Just moved ibus direct call to SDL_IME_* related functions, and adds fcitx IME support (uses DBus, too),
enable with env: SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx (ibus still the default one)

I've spent the last few days implementing touchscreen support in core/linux/SDL_evdev.c. It's fairly rudimentary at the moment, as can be seen from the multiple TODO's and FIXME's littered throughout, but I'm mainly submitting this patch for review. I've tested this patch on my Raspberry Pi 2 with the official touchscreen and it works fantastically, reporting all 10 multitouch points. I'm happy to work on this further, the evdev logic also needs a bit of a cleanup I think (I may have included a few changes). But if it's good enough in its current state to be committed then I'm sure there'd be plenty of people pleased, as currently the only other framework/library that supports touchscreens on the Raspberry Pi is Kivy.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
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().
