Since #5602, SDL is intended to have the same ABI across the whole
major-version 2 cycle, so we should not check that the minor version
matches the one that was used to compile an application.
There are two checks that could make sense here.
The first check is that the major version matches the expected major
version. This is usually unnecessary and is not usually done (if we're
calling into the wrong library we'll likely crash anyway), but since we
have the information, we might as well continue to use it.
The second check is whether the version provided by the caller is
equal to or greater than a threshold version at which additional fields
were added to the struct. If it is, we should populate those fields;
if it is not, then we cannot. This is only useful on platforms where
additional fields have genuinely been added during the lifetime of
SDL 2, like Windows and DirectFB (but not X11).
This commit changes the first check to be consistent about only looking
at the minor version, while leaving the second check using SDL_VERSIONNUM
(which will be removed or widened in SDL 3, but it's fine for now).

If you pass the C string directly to NSLog(), it will be garbled with Japanese and probably other language strings, or no log will be output at all.
NSLog("Hello, World!"); // => "Hello, World!"
NSLog("こんにちは、世界！"); // => No output...
Therefore, you need to convert the string to an NSString before passing it to NSLog().
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"こんにちは、世界！"];
NSLog(@"%@", str); // => "こんにちは、世界！"
Thank you.
The two are only ever called together, and combining them makes it possible
to eliminate redundant symbol loading and redundant attempts to connect
to a display server.
Caleb Cornett's comments:
"A few weeks ago, Alex added a partial Metal API to SDL2:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/22c8e7cd8d38
I noticed it was missing a few features that would help Metal become a
first-class citizen in SDL, so I went ahead and wrote them! Here are the new
APIs:
1. SDL_WINDOW_METAL flag for SDL_CreateWindow(). This allows the programmer
to specify that they intend to create a window for use with SDL_MetalView.
The flag is used to ensure correct usage of the API and to prevent
accidentally defaulting to OpenGL on iOS.
2. SDL_Metal_GetLayer(). This function takes a SDL_MetalView and returns a
pointer to the view's backing CAMetalLayer. This simplifies things
considerably, since in the current version of the SDL_Metal API the
programmer is required to bridge-cast a SDL_MetalView handle to an NSView or
UIView (depending on the platform) and then extract the layer from there.
SDL_Metal_GetLayer automatically handles all of that, making the operation
simple and cross-platform.
3. SDL_Metal_GetDrawableSize(). This function already exists in the current
SDL_Metal API (and is used behind-the-scenes for SDL_Vulkan_GetDrawableSize
on Apple platforms) but was not publicly exposed. My patch exposes this
function for public use. It works just like you'd expect.
Tested on macOS 10.14 and iOS 12.4."
Fixes Bugzilla #4796.

I realized I made a minor mistake in my patch: I changed the constructor prototype for SDL_DisplayData, but didn't update the declaration in the .h file. The compiler and linker don't complain, but it would probably be best to fix in case a later change runs into a problem from the mismatch. I have attached a patch to fix this.

There appears to be no way to directly access the display DPI on iOS, so as an approximation the DPI for the iPhone 1 is used as a base value and is multiplied by the screen's scale. This should at least give a ballpark number for the various screen scales. (based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25756087/detecting-iphone-6-6-screen-sizes-in-point-values it appears that both 2x and 3x are used)
I have updated the patch to use a table of current devices and use a computation as a fallback. I have also updated the fallback computation to be more accurate.

Since OpenGL is deprecated on iOS, it is advantageous to be able to remove all OpenGL related code when building SDL for iOS. This patch adds the necessary #if checks to compile in this case.
