We require stdbool.h in the build environment, so we might as well use the plain bool type.
If your environment doesn't have stdbool.h, this simple replacement will suffice:
typedef signed char bool;
Most SDL functions used to indicate success or failure using an int return code. These functions have been changed to return SDL_bool.
Here is a coccinelle patch to change code that previously compared the return value to 0 and changes it to a boolean test:

It was intended to make the API easier to use, but various automatic garbage collection all had flaws, and making the application periodically clean up temporary memory added cognitive load to using the API, and in many cases was it was difficult to restructure threaded code to handle this.
So, we're largely going back to the original system, where the API returns allocated results and you free them.
In addition, to solve the problems we originally wanted temporary memory for:
* Short strings with a finite count, like device names, get stored in a per-thread string pool.
* Events continue to use temporary memory internally, which is cleaned up on the next event processing cycle.
This means the allocator's caller doesn't need to use SDL_OutOfMemory directly
if the allocation fails.
This applies to the usual allocators: SDL_malloc, SDL_calloc, SDL_realloc
(all of these regardless of if the app supplied a custom allocator or we're
using system malloc() or an internal copy of dlmalloc under the hood),
SDL_aligned_alloc, SDL_small_alloc, SDL_strdup, SDL_asprintf, SDL_wcsdup...
probably others. If it returns something you can pass to SDL_free, it should
work.
The caller might still need to use SDL_OutOfMemory if something that wasn't
SDL allocated the memory: operator new in C++ code, Objective-C's alloc
message, win32 GlobalAlloc, etc.
Fixes#8642.
Almost nothing checks these return values, and there's no reason a valid
lock should fail to operate. The cases where a lock isn't valid (it's a
bogus pointer, it was previously destroyed, a thread is unlocking a lock it
doesn't own, etc) are undefined behavior and always were, and should be
treated as an application bug.
Reference Issue #8096.
The following objects now have properties that can be user modified:
* SDL_AudioStream
* SDL_Gamepad
* SDL_Joystick
* SDL_RWops
* SDL_Renderer
* SDL_Sensor
* SDL_Surface
* SDL_Texture
* SDL_Window
This prevents catastrophe if someone tries to close the device in an event
filter in response to the event.
Note that this means SDL_GetAudioStreamDevice() for any stream on this
device will return 0 during the event filter!
Fixes#8331.
Saves locks and copies during audio thread iteration. We've added asserts
that can evaporate out in release mode to make sure everything stays in sync.
This fires if an opened device changes formats (which it can on Windows,
if the user changes this in the system control panel, and WASAPI can
report), or if a default device migrates to new hardware and the format
doesn't match.
This will fire for all logical devices on a physical device (and if it's
a format change and not a default device change, it'll fire for the
physical device too, but that's honestly not that useful and might change).
Fixes#8267.
("preconverted bytes" makes it sounds like we already converted them before
the call instead of "bytes that haven't yet hit the stage where we convert
them. Just dump the wording completely.)
Now it offers the total requested bytes in addition to the amount
immediately needed (and immediately needed might be zero if the stream
already has enough queued to satisfy the request.
This only does this work if actually mixing; if the physical device only
has a single stream bound to it, it'll just write the data to the hardware
without the extra drama.
Fixes#8123.
