we use SDL_GetPrefPath() in Chocolate Doom to get a reasonable directory to save and restore config files and savegames:
https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom/blob/sdl2-branch/src/m_config.c#L2162
However, since there is no "organization" behind Chocolate Doom and there is really only one "product" called Chocolate Doom, we pass an empty string for the org parameter and the package string for app.
This leads to two consecutive slashes in the path returned by SDL_GetPrefPath() like this:
/home/user/.local/share//chocolate-doom/
While this is harmless, it sure looks bad.
I believe that it should be possible to either pass a NULL pointer for the org parameter or at least have the function detect an empty string as a means to express "there is no origanization, just a single product". The generation of the path string to be returned by the function will have to get adapted accordingly.

Small change to checkkeys so you can toggle text input mode with a mouse click.
This is needed for testing how dead keys react to toggling mouse input, i.e. these bugs:

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.
Fixed a case where partial trigger pull could be bound to another button
There is a fundamental problem not resolved by this commit:
Some controllers have axes (triggers, pedals, etc.) that don't start at zero, but we're guaranteed that if we get a value that it's correct. For these controllers, the current code works, where we take the first value we get and use that as the zero point and generate axis motion starting from that point on.
Other controllers have digital axes (D-pad) that assume a zero starting point, and the first value we get is the min or max axis value when the D-pad is moved. For these controllers, the current code thinks that the zero point is the axis value after the D-pad motion and this doesn't work.
My hypothesis is that the first class of devices is more common and that we should solve for that, and add an exception to SDL_JoystickAxesCenteredAtZero() as needed for the second class of devices.

If I remove the line SDL_COMPILE_TIME_ASSERT(size, CountTo>0); /* check for rollover */ it works, lazy to figure out the best way to do this.

On Windows with Visual Studio, when building SDL as a static library using the x86 (32bit) mode, several intrinsic operations are implemented in code in SDL_stdlib.c.
One of these, _allshr() is not properly implemented and fails for some input. As a result, some operations on 64bit data elements (long long) don't always work.
I classified this bug as a blocker since things absolutely don't work when the affected code is invoked. The affected code is only invoked when SDL is compiled in x86 mode on Visual Studio when building a SDL as a static library. This build environment isn't common, and hence the bug hasn't been noticed previously.
I reopened#2537 and mentioned this problem and provided a fix. That fix is provided again here along with test code which could be added to some of the SDL test code. This test code verifies that the x86 intrinsic routines produce the same results as the native x64 instructions which these routines emulate under the Microsoft compiler. The point of the tests is to make sure that Visual Studio x86 code produces the same results as Visual Studio x64 code. Some of the arguments (or boundary conditions) may produce different results on other compiler environments, so the tests really shouldn't be run on all compilers. The test driver only actually exercised code when the compiler defines _MSC_VER, so the driver can generically be invoked without issue.

I'm proposing some changes to the IME test program test/testime.c. The patch includes support for the GNU Unifont hex file, making the SDL_ttf dependency optional. There were also one or two bugs that prevented the text and underline from showing up poperly.

There's a call to the POSIX function random in test/testqsort.c. Naturally, Windows doesn't do that. The attached patch changes the call to the SDLtest framework random functions and adds some seed control.
Looking at SDLTest_RandomInitTime, I just want to say that 'srand((unsigned int)time(NULL)); a=rand(); srand(clock()); b=rand();' is an absolutely terrible way to initialize a seed on Windows because of its terrible LCG.

The two tests test/testaudioinfo.c and test/testaudiohotplug.c are missing error checking when they call SDL_GetAudioDeviceName. This function can return NULL which the tests pass straight to SDL_Log.
This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.
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().
