As discussed on the mailing list, there is a crash in the haptics subsystem, on Windows, when SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick is called for a second device.

The underlying cause may be the same as in bug 2126, but I wanted to file separately in the case that it's not since the trigger is different.

To reproduce, have more than one joystick or game controller supporting haptics connected, such as two Xbox 360 controllers. Then open each as a joystick, and then open a haptic from each with SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick.

The crash is in SDL_SYS_JoystickSameHaptic on this line,
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/b7c1c84c33e3/src/haptic/windows/SDL_syshaptic.c#l649

Simplified repro code, assuming at least two haptic joysticks are attached:

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK | SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER | SDL_INIT_HAPTIC);

int numJoysticks = SDL_NumJoysticks();

for (int i = 0; i < numJoysticks; ++i)
{
SDL_Joystick *pJoy;
pJoy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i);
if (!pJoy || !SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(pJoy))
continue;

// This will crash on the second invocation
SDL_Haptic *pHaptic = SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick(pJoy);

}

This should be fixed by http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/70f1d63482d0 ...

This line...

if ((joystick->hwdata->bXInputHaptic == haptic->hwdata->bXInputHaptic) && (haptic->hwdata->userid == joystick->hwdata->userid)) {

...would fail if both devices were different XInput controllers, and then try to use them as bogus pointers through the DirectInput API. If was a goofy piece of logic.
