OK. If it says 2.0.5, then you do have it installed. And I'm out
of ideas until I try it out myself.
I'm also not sure, how can I tell if a function is from SDL
2.0.5 or 2.0.4? I tried to look up the changelogs, but couldn't
find anything compact enough that I can look through it, yet
that would tell me what functions are new.
Some of the functions listed on the SDL Wiki, like this one [1],
have at the bottom of the page the version they were added. But
it's easier to look at the source for DerelictSDL2. In order to
support the SharedLibVersion, the loader implements functions
like this one:
```
private ShouldThrow allowSDL_2_0_0(string symbolName) {
switch(symbolName) {
// Functions added in 2.0.1
case "SDL_free": break;
case "SDL_SetAssertionHandler": break;
case "SDL_GetAssertionReport": break;
case "SDL_ResetAssertionReport": break;
case "SDL_GetSystemRAM": break;
case "SDL_UpdateYUVTexture": break;
case "SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize": break;
case "SDL_GetBasePath": break;
case "SDL_GetPrefPath": break;
default: return allowSDL_2_0_1(symbolName);
}
return ShouldThrow.No;
}
```
So you can look starting from [2] to see all of the functions
added in 2.0.1 and higher.

However, to fix them, what I did was, at first, do the 2,0,2 version thing you said. Later, however, I decided to compile SDL 2.0.5 myself, and I believe the exceptions stopped occurring. The segfaults, however, did not. When you compiled SDL 2.0.5, did you also install it? The Derelict loader will load the shared library from the system path, so if you didn't redirect the symlink on the system path from the old library to your newer one, then the Derelict would still be loading the old one. And then if you're calling any 2.0.5 functions, they wouldn't be loaded so you'd see the segfault. You said something about null function pointers... Is this something I should be checking for? Not generally, no. However, if you are specifying one version as the minimum you require, then using functions from a later version, then yes. Example: You call DerelictSDL2.load(SharedLibVersion(2,0,2)). Then later in your code, you have a call to SDL_GetWindowBorderSize. This is a function that was added in SDL 2.0.5. If you run your program on a system that has SDL 2.0.5, then no problem. But you requested 2.0.2 as a minimum, so your program will still load successfully with no exceptions if the user has SDL 2.0.2, 2.0.3, or 2.0.4. But in all three of those cases, SDL_GetWindowBorderSize will never be loaded, so it will be null when you call it and you will get a segfault. If you truly want to use that function only if it's available, then you need to check for null first (or call SDL_GetVersion to see which version si actually loaded). It's like checking if an extension is loaded in OpenGL. But that kind of usage is rare with SDL, and *I strongly recommend against it*. Generally if you need functions from a specific version, then that should be the minimum version you request. DerelictSDL2 2.1.x will load SDL 2.0.5 by default when no SharedLibVersion is specified. So if you need any function from 2.0.5, then just use the default. However, that means the user will need 2.0.5 on their system and anything lower will cause an exception to be thrown during load. I know when I did the version downgrade I got dub complaining about some undefined functions, but should I be on the lookout for more? That's the compiler complaining, not dub. DerelictSDL2 2.0.x (and 1.9.x, since that was 2.0 beta) supports up to SDL 2.0.4. No functions from SDL 2.0.5 are declared anywhere. So given what I know so far, my guess is you're using functions from 2.0.5 with a 2.0.4 version of the library. You can call SDL_GetVersion [1] to verify. In that case, you need to use DerelictSDL2 2.1.x and do no use SharedLibVersion -- just let it load the default. http://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_GetVersion?highlight=%28%5CbCategoryAPI%5Cb%29%7C%28SDLFunctionTemplate%29

You really shouldn't be using the 1.9 series -- that was the 2.0 beta. 2.0.x supports up to 2.0.4 by default, 2.1.x supports 2.0.5 by default, but both can load older versions just fine using SharedLibVersion.

The only way Derelict would be the cause of the segfault is if one of the function pointers is null or one of the function declarations has the wrong signature. This isn't related to your problem, but beginning with DerelictSDL2 2.0, you can specify the version of SDL you'd like to target, like say 2.0.2: import derelict.sdl2.sdl; DerelictSDL2.load(SharedLibVersion(2, 0, 2)); With this, the loader will not throw any exceptions unless the library version is lower than the one requested. In that case, there is a potential to see segfaults. For example, you request at least 2.0.2, the user has 2.0.4, but the binding supports 2.0.5. The 2.0.5 functions will never be loaded, so the function pointers will be null. If I ever get around to finishing up the documentation, it will recommend that you always specify the version you actually want and do not attempt to call any functions from later versions unless you have a good reason to do so, but always check for null first. I have a function which fills the screen with black using SDL_FillRect... Then, this same function calls another helper function... Which segfaults, at SDL_FillRect. That is, the same function is both working and crashing, when given the exact same arguments, just in different contexts. And I have no idea why.

It is a slightly more updated version than the one I've been trying to compile, but it segfaults anyway. I'm continuing to develop just fine on Windows, but Derelict on Ubuntu has proven to be a nightmare. Derelict has worked on Ubuntu for years. It doesn't do anything special there that it doesn't do on Windows. I'm not able to check it at the moment, but I have an Ubuntu laptop I'll try your code on when I get the chance (if you don't resolve the issue first). TL;DR: Same code runs on Windows but not Ubuntu, tried to update and recompile all I could, segmentation faults on seemingly random places. http://www.github.com/robly18/sdltest/
