Is possible to make SDL one header file and one source file? about sdl HOT 3 CLOSED

Creating a single header is possible, the current SDL.h does that in a way by including all other headers.

But combining all .c sources in a single SDL.c is (currently) not possible.
The various sources sometimes define conflicting static functions or types that have the same names.
C does not support anonymous C++ namespaces.

Configuring SDL with -DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD=ON, you get an idea how big the problem is.

Thank you so much for the answer. As you said "currently", does that mean there is a future plan on solving this problem?

from sdl.

No, there is no current plan.
But we have it in the back of our head to find out a good approach.
Grouping sources by id might be a good middle ground.
