SDL_Init_Everything fails in C - c++

Question

I am trying to create a game in C using SDL. After some time of debugging I found an error at SDL_Init:
#include <SDL2/SDL_ttf.h>
int main(void) {
printf("Init attempt\n");
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed at SDL init: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
fflush(stderr);
fflush(stdout);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("Init success\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The output is the following:
Init attempt
Somehow the fprintf inside the write function is getting executed.
The gcc command I used is:
gcc -Wextra -Wall -pedantic program.c -lpthread -lSDL2 -lSDL2_ttf
Note: If I use g++, everything works fine. However, I must use gcc.
Is there a way to fix the error?

using the official doc (https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_Init) there's a flag that might conflict with your setup: SDL_INIT_HAPTIC
i didn't get any error or crash so im not sure, but it is possible that this flag might be included in the EVERYTHING one, and if so:
It’s disabled by default if you don’t use ./configure; make style builds.
Otherwise it’ll happily build if your headers are new enough.
(https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/sdl2-sdl-init-sdl-init-everything-failing/19250)
did you try setting up by flags you only need, like SDL_INIT_TIMER | SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO and see if this works?
