SDL_sscanf() fails to parse the input string on MSVC

[Wohlstand]

Hello!

Recently I found that SDL_sscanf() is unable to parse some strings, and it always returns zero, and no output data filled. Possibly, it doesn't understands the [ ] syntax.

I attached a simple demo that performs the parsing of an input string example and builds two executables:

• Without SDL (using system-wide sscanf())
• With SDL

scanf-test.zip - the sscanf demo

Please edit CMakeLists.txt and set proper paths to SDL2 directory.

I didn't tested out the SDL3 yet, so, I don't know how it behaves on it, I tested only SDL2.

The thing works just fine on MinGW-w64, on Linux, on macOS, on Android, etc. On Windows's MSVC, it fails.

Thanks!
I'll try to check this out on my end.
