Description mttronchetti 2013-03-12 15:42:20 UTC 
I'm writing a program and this is the SDL2 code that gives me the bug:

if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) < 0){
            cout << "SDL_Init error " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
            exit(1);
        }
        
win = SDL_CreateWindow(name, 100, 100, w, h, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

Gdb says that the problem is inside file SDL_video.c at line 1224:
window->id = _this->next_object_id++;

_this is a SDL_VideoDevice pointer but it is set to NULL

Can you provide a full test case that fails and even better a backtrace?

Closing bug with no reply since 2013.
