If a non-console Windows SDL program has a non-quoted 0th argument followed
optionally by more non-quoted arguments and then by an empty quoted argument,
it will crash (attempts to dereference a NULL pointer).
In other words, something like this:
test.exe [non-quoted args] "" [...]
The fix is a one-liner in ParseCommandLine() of
src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c.
You can test this with any non-console SDL program on windows like this:
1) Open a console (cmd.exe)
2) Launch the program in one of the following ways:
program ""
program arg1 ""
program arg1 "" arg3
These will not cause a crash:
"program" [...]
program "arg1" ""
When a Windows program is launched from Explorer, its 0th argument seems to
always be quoted, so it won't be a problem in that case.
I've tested this on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

The latest development version of SDL is available via Mercurial. Mercurial allows you to get up-to-the-minute fixes and enhancements; as a developer works on a source tree, you can use "hg" to mirror that source tree instead of waiting for an official release. Please look at the Mercurial website ( http://mercurial.selenic.com/ ) for more information on using hg, where you can also download software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix systems. hg clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL If you are building SDL with an IDE, you will need to copy the file include/SDL_config.h.default to include/SDL_config.h before building. If you are building SDL via configure, you will need to run autogen.sh before running configure. There is a web interface to the subversion repository at: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/ There is an RSS feed available at that URL, for those that want to track commits in real time.
