I see this manifest itself (VS2012 x86) as:
"Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention."
in the first call to SDL_GetTicks in my application. The disassembly at the problem line is:
hires_now.QuadPart *= 1000;
00AD0792 push 0
00AD0794 push 3E8h
00AD0799 mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-10h]
00AD079C push eax
00AD079D mov ecx,dword ptr [hires_now]
00AD07A0 push ecx
00AD07A1 call _allmul (0AE7D40h)
00AD07A6 mov dword ptr [hires_now],eax
00AD07A9 mov dword ptr [ebp-10h],edx
Apparently _allmul should be popping the stack but isn't (other similar functions in SDL_stdlib.c - _alldiv and whatnot - DO pop the stack).
A 'ret 10h' at the end of _allmul appears to do the trick
All SDL_* functions are always available as real symbols, so you can always
link against them as a stable ABI. By default, however, all the things that
might have dithered down to macros in your application are now force-inlined,
to give you the same effect as before and theoretically better performance,
but still solve the classic macro problems.
Elsewhere, we provide real functions for these things that simply wrap the
inline functions, in case one needs to have a real function available.
Also: this exposed bugs: SDL_abs() does something different if you had the
macro vs the libc function, SDL_memcpy() returns a void* in the function
but not the macro, etc.
