SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99
It's easier for Visual Studio users that want this information to turn it on
or live without it, than it is to explain why every debugger that isn't Visual
Studio crashes out here. Eventually SetThreadDescription() will be the thing
everyone uses anyhow.
Fixes Bugzilla #3645.
(and several others).
This is a bleeding edge API, added to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (build
1607, specifically).

Nothing supports this yet, including WinDbg, Visual Studio, minidumps, etc,
so we still need to also use the RaiseException hack. But presumably tools
will use this API as a more robust and universal way to get thread names
sooner or later, so we'll start broadcasting to it now.

We now only raise the magic exception that names the thread when
IsDebuggerPresent() returns true. In such a case, Visual Studio will
catch the exception, set the thread name, and let the debugged process
continue normally. If the debugger isn't running, we don't raise an exception
at all.
Setting the name is a debugger trick; if the debugger isn't running, the name
won't be set if attached later in any case, so this doesn't lose functionality.
This lets this code work without assembly code, on win32 and win64, and
across various compilers.
The only "gotcha" is that if you have something attached that looks like a
debugger but doesn't respect this magic exception trick, the process will
likely crash, but that's probably a deficiency of the attached program.
Fixes Bugzilla #2089.
WinRT 8.0 (Phone and non-Phone) didn't offer an API to set an already-created
thread's priority. WinRT 8.1 offered this API, along with several other
Win32 thread functions that were previously unavailable (in WinRT).
This change makes WinRT 8.1+ platforms use SDL's Win32 backend.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
