The following patch adds Metal.framework to the "link binary with libraries" section of each test program, with "status" set to "optional", which fixes link errors on all of the test programs. I'm not sure if this is a correct fix - the fact that this was necessary might indicate the static SDL2.a library has a hard dependency on Metal.framework (?) - but it gets the test programs working in Xcode again.
It also adds testyuv_cvt.c to the testoverlay2 target, fixing a link error.
With the previous change, I get:
1> Creating library C:\projects\SDL\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.lib and object C:\projects\SDL\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.exp
1>LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __DllMainCRTStartup@12

In src/SDL.c there is this code:
_DllMainCRTStartup(HANDLE hModule,
...
The comment says that this is needed on Watcom C for some reason but why is it included then when building with Visual C as well? Shouldn't it be only included when compiling on Watcom C then?
I'm asking because this code caused me a lot of headaches because I'm building a DLL that contains SDL and I link using /MT and the _DllMainCRTStartup() symbol obviously led to lots of trouble but it wasn't clear to me where the problem was because all I got from the linker was:
LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
So I had to got through each and every object to see what the culprit was. See here for the full story:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25067151/lnk2019-unresolved-external-symbol-main-referenced-in-function-tmaincrtstar/48177067#48177067
So if it isn't necessary on Visual C, please just leave that symbol out on Visual C so that it no longer leads to any trouble. Thanks.
Most pthread functions return 0 on success and non-zero on error, but those
errors might be positive or negative, so checking for return values in the
Unix style, where errors are less than zero, is a bug.
Fixes Bugzilla #4039.

This patch allows the user to disable the behaviour that blocks the compositor through a new hint: SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR. This allows tools or other windowed applications to behave properly under KWin.

After updating from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7, Ibus not work anymore(fcitx still works).
Compare with 2.0.5, there are two issues in SDL_ibus.c.
1, SetupConnection always return SDL_FALSE in 2.0.7.
2, 'SetCapabilities' method should be called on 'ibus_conn'.
Patch attached.

dbus_shutdown() is a debug feature which closes all global resources in the dbus library. Calling this should be done by the app, not a library, because if there are multiple users of dbus in the process then SDL could shut it down even though another part is using it.
For example, i had an issue with this in mGBA, which uses both Qt and SDL, both using libdbus. I had a session bus, but no system bus (this was in a flatpak sandbox), and when SDL_DBus_Init() failed to init the system bus it called dbus_shudown() and continued on. This caused issues for Qt when running due to its session bus connections having disappeared beneath it.

Configury adds Metal.framework to linkage even if it is not available.
My solution is setting enable_render_metal to no when Metal.framework
is not found
"*(void**)pfn = LoadAddress()" would cast the NULL pointer in pfn to a
void**, and then dereference it, which wasn't what we wanted. Replaced with
a clearer cast operation.

SDL_rpivideo driver has 60 frames per second hardcoded in it, this is a problem for games that need to keep pace using VSYNC. I believe that I have found a solution to this. It is based on code in tvservice.c in rpi userland:

I have a DualShock 4 v2 controller with a GUID that's not in the database. There is an existing GUID that is almost identical, with the only difference that I can tell being the reported version string (mine being 8001, database is 8100).
Existing GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000000810000
New GUID: 050000004c050000cc09000001800000
When connected via USB, the GUID matches an existing entry: 030000004c050000cc09000011810000
This is meant to be the desktop-enhanced version of wl_shell. Right now we
just match what the existing wl_shell code does, but there are other areas of
functionality available to us now, that we can fill in later.
This uses the "unstable" API, since this is what ships in Ubuntu 17.10 (as
part of Wayland 1.10), but Wayland 1.12 promotes this to stable with extremely
minor changes. We will add support for the stable version when it makes sense
to do so.
This variable can be set to the following values:
"0" - The indicator bar is not hidden (default for windowed applications)
"1" - The indicator bar is hidden and is shown when the screen is touched (useful for movie playback applications)
"2" - The indicator bar is dim and the first swipe makes it visible and the second swipe performs the "home" action (default for fullscreen applications)
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

armeabi is almost deprecated for android-ndk higher that r13b.
either it doesn't compile (ICE), or it executes wrongly (using long long for instance).
android people advices to use armeabi-v7a (or use r13b).

This worked in 2.0.5 as normal, but stopped working in 2.0.7. The monitor's resolution doesn't change, a window is created in full screen mode at the virtual desktop resolution instead.
