- explicitly use UNICODE versions of DrawText, EnumDisplaySettings,
EnumDisplayDevices, and CreateDC: the underlying structures have
WCHAR strings.
- change WIN_UpdateDisplayMode and WIN_GetDisplayMode() to accept
LPCWSTR instead of LPCTSTR for the same reason.
- change WIN_StringToUTF8 and WIN_UTF8ToString to the explicit 'W'
versions where appropriate.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99
"GetVersionExA is deprecated in windows 8.1 and above's SDK, causing a warning
when building against the win10 SDK. Attached patch cleans up the usage for a
warning-free build.
GetVersionExA was being used to test to see if SDL was running on win9x or
winnt. A quick chat with Ryan on twitter suggested that SDL doesn't
officially support win9x anymore, so the call to this can be outright removed.
As an aside, replacing the call to GetVersionExA with VerifyVersionInfoA (the
recommended path) would have been pointless, as VerifyVersionInfoA only
supports VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT and doesn't officially support any other value
for dwPlatformId currently. (And it's probable that win9x SDKs didn't have
VerifyVersionInfo* in them anyway.)"
Fixes Bugzilla #4019.

These are the remaining compiler warnings I see in the current tip cb049cae7c3c.
- SDL_test_log.c defines _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS without checking if it was already set.
- SDL_windowskeyboard.c converts integers to pointers without going over the (U)INT_PTR types. That bothers MSVC.

fix windows build after revision 11382: commit 2026e42e377a renamed
_SDL_msctf_h to SDL_msctf_h_ . SDL_windowskeyboard.c relies on that
macro, so update it accordingly.

Some code in SDL loads libraries with SDL_LoadObject to get more information or use newer APIs. SDL_LoadObject may fail, set an error message and SDL will continue with some fallback code. Since SDL will overwrite the error or exit the function with a return value that indicates success, the error form SDL_LoadObject for the optional stuff might as well be cleared right away.

The bug here is that a dead keys pressed before calling SDL_StartTextInput() carries over into future text input, so the next key pressed will have the deadkey applied to it.
This in undesirable, imho, and doesn't occur on OS X (haven't check Linux or elsewhere). It's causing a problem for Quakespasm on German keyboard layouts, where we use the ^ deadkey to toggle the console (which enables/disables text input), and ^ characters are showing up in the TEXTINPUT events.
- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
