I have been using the Windows API to add a window menu to the top bar, but when I try using the SDL Render API instead of raw OpenGL, I get a null pointer dereference crash at the first render function that's reached (both SDL_RenderClear and SDL_SetRenderDrawColor will crash). The only Windows specific event I capture is WM_CREATE, where I append a menu to the Window. I'm compiling with the compiler of Visual Studio 2015. Attached is a minimal repro of my issue. The crash doesn't happen if I don't attach a menu to my window, or, strangely, if I don't create a texture.
Comment 1 Angus Holder 2016-05-03 15:20:03 UTC 
I have found that the issue is specific to the Direct3D renderer, so am currently working around it with
SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER, "opengl");
I'm using an Intel HD4400 GPU, with driver version 10.18.10.3345, forgot to add that in the original post.
