Description Anthony @ POW Games 2020-12-17 16:51:31 UTC 
Oops, a recent change has broken SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox. I'm passing SDL_MESSAGEBOX_ERROR, and it's causing an access violation at address 0x00000000. Doesn't matter what strings are passed or if it's attached to a window or a nullptr.
Comment 1 Ozkan Sezer 2020-12-17 18:03:13 UTC 
Recent ShowMessage changes are https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/155a6d4ff25d
and its follow-up https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/6044f03a6809

I tested on i686-Linux and os2, testmessage works. However, when built
for windows (mingw, tried today), testmessage.exe doesn't show anything.
Haven't investigated any further.

Can anyone see anything wrong with those commits? (I can not..)
