Description Jean-Michaël Celerier 2020-08-06 14:33:44 UTC 
Hello,

while it is an useful option to have while building SDL itself due to the bugs it can catch, it also causes problem downstream if linking an app to SDL2, as downstream may not want to have this option.

In particular, I stumbled upon this because linking against SDL broke my ASAN builds (ASAN is not compatible with -Wl,--no-undefined as one example - https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/380).

Thanks !
