NAME¶

SDL_HINT_EVENT_LOGGING - A variable controlling verbosity of the logging of SDL events pushed onto the internal queue.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_HINT_EVENT_LOGGING   SDL_EVENT_LOGGING"

DESCRIPTION¶

The variable can be set to the following values, from least to most verbose:

• "0": Don't log any events. (default)

• "1": Log most events (other than the really spammy ones).

• "2": Include mouse and finger motion events.

This is generally meant to be used to debug SDL itself, but can be useful for application developers that need better visibility into what is going on in the event queue. Logged events are sent through SDL_Log (), which means by default they appear on stdout on most platforms or maybe OutputDebugString() on Windows, and can be funneled by the app with

SDL_SetLogOutputFunction (), etc.

This hint can be set anytime.

AVAILABILITY¶

This hint is available since SDL 3.0.0.
