Removed some needless things ("len / sizeof (Uint8)"), and made sure the
int32 -> float code uses doubles to avoid working with large integer values
in a 32-bit float.

Tried to compile SDL2 using newest version of VS.
Got:
SDL_audiocvt.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol memcpy referenced in function SDL_ResampleCVT
1>E:\Users\dotPo\Lib\SDL\VisualC\x64\Release\SDL2.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
whole compilation process: http://pastebin.com/eWDAvBce
Steps to reproduce:
clone http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL using tortoise hg,
open SDL\VisualC\SDL.sln,
when promted if should retarget solution click ok,
select release x64 build type,
Build/Build Solution
attempt 2, using Visual Studio cmake support:
open folder SDL\
select release x64 build type,
run CMake\Build CMakeLists.txt
build fails
When switched to debug build type, buils succeeds in both cases.
VS 2017 is still beta.
It causes audio pops if you're converting in chunks (and needs to
allocate/initialize/free on each convert). We'll either adjust this interface
when we break ABI for 2.1 to make this usable, or publish the SDL_AudioStream
API for those that want a streaming solution.
In the meantime, the "simple" resampler produces "good enough" audio without
pops and doesn't have to be initialized, so that'll do for now on the
SDL_AudioCVT interface.
There was a draft of this where it did audio conversion into the final buffer,
if there was enough room available past what you asked for, but that interface
got removed, so the parameters didn't make sense (and we were using the
wrong one in any case, too!).
This no longer uses a script to generate code for every possible type
conversion or resampler. This caused a bloat in binary size and and compile
times. Now we use a handful of more generic functions and assume staying in
the CPU cache is the most important thing anyhow.
This shrinks the size of the final build (in this case: macOS X amd64, -Os to
optimize for size) by 15%. When compiling on a single core, build times drop
by about 15% too (although the previous cost was largely hidden by multicore
builds).
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().
