olcConsoleGameEngineSDL leads to crash on MacOS

[Stannislav]

Following the first video in the 3D Graphics series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih20l3pJoeU) and being on Mac I'm using olcConsoleGameEngineSDL.h rather than olcConsoleGameEngine.h. The minimal code for the instantiation of the game engine

int main() {
    olcEngine3D demo;
    if(demo.ConstructConsole(256, 240, 4, 4))
        demo.Start();

    return 0;
}

leads to the following crash:

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

Debugging shows that an exception is raised in olcConsoleGameEngineSDL.h in the line containing while (SDL_PollEvent(&e)). Similar issues elsewhere (lvgl/lv_port_pc_eclipse#12) suggest that SDL might need special treatment under MacOS.
