Xcode 9 emits a warning to validate project settings. The changes it proposes are
1. [iOS] Update the iOS deployment target to 8.0 since Xcode does
not support anything older.
2. [macOS] Target 'Framework' - Automatically Select Archectures.
3. [iOS & macOS] Turns on a bunch more compile warnings, a *lot* more on iOS.
4. [iOS & macOS] Turn on "Missing Localizability".
I want to confirm if it is ok to accept these changes and submit updated project files.
Since Alex Szpakowski has just removed iOS 7 guard ifdef's, I'm guessing 1 isn't a problem.
2 is probably ok for anyone building themselves. I wonder if it may cause problems for building distribution binaries.
3 shouldn't be a problem either provided any newly emitted warnings are fixed.
4 I am unfamiliar with. The description says "This will turn on the static analyzer to check for "Missing Localizability", because this project is localized for multiple languages." I suppose this may cause new warnings.
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
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().
