Sam Lantinga cd79d8ccec Fixed bug 3696 - SDL_ShowMessageBox displays different error from intended
Mark Callow

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.

Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
and many Humble Bundle games.

More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting
