With this patch applied, the DemoRunner should build under MinGW, and be
(nearly) feature-complete compared to the MSVC build.
Specifically, when building with MinGW:
- Adds support for accessibility
- Fixes build issues in the juce_video module
- Fixes a link issue in the VST3 wrapper when VST3_CAN_REPLACE_VST2 is
defined
- Adds support for the new-style native FileChooser
- Tidies up some other low-severity warnings
Known issues:
- Direct2D rendering is still not supported when building with MinGW due
to ABI compatibilities.
The Apple threading documentation [^1] says the following:
> The second argument to pthread_setschedparam is the desired policy,
which can currently be one of SCHED_FIFO (first in, first out),
SCHED_RR (round-robin), or SCHED_OTHER. The SCHED_OTHER policy is
generally used for extra policies that are specific to a given
operating system, and should thus be avoided when writing portable
code.
This appears to differ from the policy semantics on Linux and BSD, where
FIFO and RR are both explicitly real-time policies.
Therefore, on Linux/BSD we only enable the RR policy if the requested
priority is 8 or higher. Meanwhile, on macOS, we map all thread
priorities (0 - 10) onto the RR policy with an appropriate priority.

This commit removes the various compiler-specific JUCE_DEPRECATED macros and replaces them with C++14's deprecated attribute. It also removes the JUCE_CATCH_DEPRECATED_CODE_MISUSE flag as we can rely on the override specifier catching usage of these old virtual methods, and tidies up the DOXYGEN preprocessor checks as they were inconsistent across the codebase.
File::getContainerForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier will return the
path to a container which is shared between all apps using the specified
app group ID. This might be useful if you need to share resources
between a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin, for example.
The previous implementation would fail to open directories with names
that contained spaces, as the space would be escaped and then quoted.
I don't think it's particularly meaningful to supply parameters when
opening a file in this way (especially not quoting the parameters too!)
so I've removed that functionality.
The previously used getUserDefaultUILanguage() was based on the deprecated
LCID/LANGID concept. It had an increasing number of corner cases as not
every locale had associated LCIDs. The new solution is based on locale
names (string based) and will return reasonable names in more situations.
