SDL_GetError() never returns NULL. The check should be |
SDL3 + sdl2-compat doesn't give precisely the same error message as "classic" SDL2 here. To facilitate the transition from "classic" SDL2 to sdl2-compat, allow either one. This allows the "classic" SDL2 test suite to be run against sdl2-compat, demonstrating that sdl2-compat is indeed compatible with the version that it's replacing.

I'm looking into what needs to happen for Debian (and indirectly Ubuntu) to replace "classic" SDL2 with sdl2-compat, following in the footsteps of other distros like Arch and Fedora. Specifically, the version of
sdl2-compatinexperimentaltakes over the package nameslibsdl2-2.0-0andlibsdl2-devpreviously provided by "classic" SDL2, so that it will become the default.In Debian's automated test machinery, the "as-installed" tests for all existing packages that depend on a particular library are run against new proposed versions of that library. In the case where the package name
libsdl2-2.0-0is taken over, the result is that we run both the "classic" SDL2 test suitelibsdl2-testsand the sdl2-compat test suitelibsdl2-compat-testsagainst the sdl2-compat library (currently only with thedummyaudio and video backends). This might seem unexpected, but it does seem like a a good way to prove that sdl2-compat is actually compatible with "classic" SDL2 during the transition, and these error messages seem to be the only assertions that actually need relaxing.
