[opensource-dev] Quicktime on Mac

[Geir Nøklebye]

In addition to Cincder’s comment about the macOS 10.12 SDK not supporting QuickTime they have also made a number of changes to the C++ support where Libstdc++ is deprecated and needs to be replaced with libc++. For a very preliminary compile of the Kokua viewer on the XCode 8 beta, this affected all the plugins but should be easy to fix. 
In addition they have now complete library support for C++14  and support Thread-Local Storage (TLS).

There are also improvements in Link-Time Optimizations (which probably makes it practical to apply to the viewer for the first time), and other hints and methods for optimization of the code that helps the compiler. 

The LLVM presentation slides <http://devstreaming.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2016/405i2ilotov3bazyei1/405/405_whats_new_in_llvm.pdf> have more details, as does the video of the same presentation. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/405/ <https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/405/>

Cheers,
Geir Nøklebye
