This means we have to consider SDL_WINDOW_MINIMIZED a window creation flag, but on non-windows platforms we just remove it and let the normal FinishWindowCreation re-apply and do the minimize as I have no idea what is right on them or if anything should change.

Launching an SDL application with SDL_AUDIODRIVER=jack, and then calling SDL_OpenAudioDevice() with whatever parameters fails with an error like this one:
SDL_OpenAudioDevice: Couldn't connect JACK ports: SDL:sdl_jack_output_0 => system:midi_playback_1
This happens because JACK_OpenDevice in src/audio/jack/SDL_jackaudio.c blindly tries to connect to all input ports without checking whether they are for audio or midi.
The fix is to check port types and ignore all non audio ports. Also I removed devports field from struct SDL_PrivateAudioData, because it's never really used and removing unused ports from it would be PITA.

The following explains why this bug was happening:
This crash was caused because the audio session was being set as active [session setActive:YES error:&err] when the audio device was actually being CLOSED. Certain cases the audio session being set to active would fail and the method would return right away. Because of the way the error was handled we never removed the SDLInterruptionListener thus leaking it. Later when an interruption was received the THIS_ object would contain a pointer to an already released device causing the crash.
The fix:
When only one device remained open and it was being closed we needed to set the audio session as NOT active and completely ignore the returned error to successfully release the SDLInterruptionListener. I think the user assumed that the open_playback_devices and open_capture_devices would equal 0 when all of them where closed but the truth is that at the end of the closing process that the open devices count is decremented.
(It gets upset at the -2147483648, thinking this should be an unsigned value
because 2147483648 is too large for an int32, so the negative sign upsets the
compiler.)
The concern is that a massive int sample, like 0x7FFFFFFF, won't fit in a
float32, which doesn't have enough bits to hold a whole number this large,
just to divide it to get a value between 0 and 1.
Previously we would convert to double, to get more bits, do the division, and
cast back to a float, but this is expensive.
Casting to double is more accurate, but it's 2x to 3x slower. Shifting out
the least significant byte of an int32, so it'll definitely fit in a float,
and dividing by 0x7FFFFF is still accurate to about 5 decimal places, and the
difference doesn't appear to be perceptable.
Fixes problems launching Firewatch on Linux (which statically links SDL but
also dynamically loads a system-wide copy from a plugin shared library) with
a newer SDL build.
The change makes sure that SDL_vsnprintf() nul terminates if it is
using _vsnprintf() for the job.
I made this patch for Watcom, whose _vsnprintf() doesn't guarantee
nul termination. The preprocessor check can be extended to windows
in general too, if required.
Closes bug #3769.

Sorry, but it seems like Microsoft didn't fix the issue properly.
I just updated my Win10 machine, it now is Version 1803, Build 17134.1
I tested with SDL2 2.0.7 (my workaround was released with 2.0.8) and still got
lots of events that directly undid the prior "real" events - just like before.
(See simple testcase in attachement)
By default it sets SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP - which triggered (and on my machine still triggers) the buggy behavior. You can start it with -raw, then it'll not set that hint and the events will be as expected.
The easiest way to see the difference is looking at the window title, which shows accumulated X and Y values: If you just move your mouse to the right, in -raw mode the number just increases. In non-raw mode (using mouse warping) it stays around 0.
I also had a WinAPI-only testcase: https://gist.github.com/DanielGibson/b5b033c67b9137f0280af9fc53352c68
It just calls SetCursorPos(320,240); on each WM_MOUSEMOVE event, and it also
logs all those events to a mouseevents.log textfile.
This log indeed looks a bit different since the latest Win10 update: It seems like all those events with x=320 y=240 do arrive - but only after I stopped moving the mouse - even though the cursor seems to be moved back every frame (or so).
So moving the mouse to the right gives X coordinates like
330, 325, 333, 340, 330, ...
and then when stopping movement I get lots of events with X coordinate 320

If one creates a window with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag, and creates a render target with SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY, "linear"), and afterwards sets SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY, "nearest"), after minimizing the window, the scale quality hint is lost on the render target. Textures however do keep their interpolation modes.

The SDL_syswm.h header includes the windows.h header after including begin_code.h which changes the structure packing alignment.
It seems this is not safe as suggested by the following warning :
warning C4121: 'JOBOBJECT_IO_RATE_CONTROL_INFORMATION_NATIVE_V2': alignment of a member was sensitive to packing

Running top-level SDL configure on macOS 10.11 resulted in the errors below because automake removed the brackets about the tests.

When you try use SDL2 2.0.8 in CMake project in Linux, it complains about trailing spaces in sdl2.pc:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:147 (add_executable):
Target "TestSimpleMain" links to item "-L/usr/lib64 -lSDL2 " which has
leading or trailing whitespace. This is now an error according to policy
CMP0004.

pthread_mutex_trylock() and by the way, pthread_mutex_lock() do not set errno.
Pthread-methods directly return error code as int. See related man-pages for
details.

This is a quick pass at adding Linux RealtimeKit thread priority support to SDL.
It allows me to bump the thread priority to high without root privileges or setting any caps, etc.
