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.

Overview:
Initializing the Video Subsystem causes many errors though everything works as it should.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set Loglevel to SDL_LOG_PRIORITY_ERROR
2) Initialize the Video Subsystem (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO))
Actual Results:
Many errors (see attachment) are printed on stderr, then the application continues as expected.
Expected Results:
The errors should have been warnings at most.
We continued looping while maxlen > 0, but maxlen was unsigned, so an overflow
would make it a large number instead of negative. Fixed.
Some snprintf() implementations might return a negative value if there isn't
enough space, and we now check for that.
Don't overrun the SDL error message buffer, if snprintf() returned the number
of chars it wanted to write instead of the number it did.
snprintf is a portability mess, we should just never use the C runtime for it.
Fixes Bugzilla #2049.
This lets us change things like this...
if (Failed) {
SDL_SetError("We failed");
return -1;
}
...into this...
if (Failed) {
return SDL_SetError("We failed");
}
Fixes Bugzilla #1778.
FIXME:
Change #include <stdlib.h> to #include "SDL_stdlib.h"
Change #include <string.h> to #include "SDL_string.h"
Make sure nothing else broke because of this...
