Description Philipp Wiesemann 2013-06-15 11:29:36 UTC 
Hello,

SDL_Keysym contains a deprecated field for unicode which may be removed for SDL 2.0 release.

As far as I can tell the field is not set on all "major" platforms and therefore will not be useful for most users. Its existence in a public header therefore becomes (in my opinion) only confusing.

The field it currently still used in DirectFB (src/video/directfb/SDL_DirectFB_events.c) but it looks more like an implementation detail which may also be removed.

I agree. Fixed!

Please disregard the above.

Seems like flooding a process under gdb with ptrace_attach() calls (which most, but not all, fail as expected) sometimes, rarely, causes pthreah_cond_timedwait() to return EINVAL.

I have no idea why is this happening or what to do with that, so let's just skip that very corner case.

Comment above was for a different bug.
