Occurs when application goes to background:
- Java activity is destroying SurfaceView holder and "egl_surface" (in onNativeSurfaceDestroyed())
- While native thread is in Android_GLES_SwapWindow(), prepared to call SDL_EGL_SwapBuffers()
The error is "call to eglSwapBuffers failed, reporting an error of EGL_BAD_SURFACE"
It an be reproduced easily by adding a SDL_Delay(100) at the begining of SDL_EGL_SwapBuffers(),
and putting the application into background.
Use a semaphore to prevent concurrency issues between Java Activity and Native thread code, when using 'Android_Window'.
(Eg. Java sending Touch events, while native code is destroying the main SDL_Window. )
This is the best option for macOS and iOS, the only platforms with Metal.
Pre-Metal versions of these platforms will fall back to OpenGL (ES), as
appropriate.
Huge thanks to Alexander Szpakowski, who worked incredibly hard to get the
Metal renderer to such a high-quality state!
Not only does this fix macOS 10.14 ("Mojave")'s broken NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval
support, it also lets us implement "adaptive vsync" on macOS!
CVDisplayLink is supported back to macOS 10.4 ("Tiger"), so we just use it
universally without version checks and dump NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval, Mojave or
not.
Switching between renderers "software -> opengl -> opengles2 -> software" fails.
"opengl -> opengles2" calls SDL_RecreateWindow() and frees "window->surface"
without marking it as "surface_invalid".

I am having a parallel build problem with -j3 or higher using the autotools build and slibtool instead of GNU libtool. Basically slibtool is faster than GNU libtool and it will start working before mkdir starts or finishes creating the build/ directory.

I'm on macOS 10.14 and I think I'm using or around SDL 2.0.9. This is about the menu bar that SDL sets up which looks like:
<App Name> <Window> <View>
1. View menu never proceeds after the Window menu in any Mac application (it is always before).
2. For SDL, the only purpose of the View menu is for a single fullscreen menu item, which is not justifiable enough to reserve space for a menu. The View menu should thus be removed, and the full screen menu item should be added at the end inside of Window's menu. See built in apps like Dictionary, Chess, App Store (on 10.14) that do this.
3. SDL should add a "Close" menu item to the Window's submenu, and it should be the first item. Its key equivalent should map to command w. Without this, you cannot close the game window via this shortcut, and you cannot close the app's About window via this shortcut.
4. Apps typically use "Enter Full Screen" or "Exit Full Screen" depending on context, not "Toggle Full Screen" which is less user friendly -- I personally care about this point the least.
This happens if you try to lock the pointer and (caps & WL_SEAT_CAPABILITY_POINTER) is false
Leading to input->pointer being NULL which ends up bringing the wayland client down (at lease on weston)
Visual Studio doesn't define __ARM_ARCH nor _ARM_NEON, but _M_ARM and _M_ARM64,
so SDL_HasNEON() was bypassed.
PF_ARM_NEON_INSTRUCTIONS_AVAILABLE doesn't see to be defined (but still works
when defined as 19).
