No, SDL provides a window/context in the existing windowing layer.

    SDL does not need a windowing layer... There might be better docs somewhere but this should act as enough proof for you without linking directly to the source code.

      Thank you, I stand corrected! I had used it in the windowing sense and didn’t recall the other option!

    SDL can provide a context in the native windowing system, if you ask it to. Or not. You have to ask for it though, it's not the default.
