SDL_HINT_EVENT_LOGGING

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

Header File

Defined in SDL_hints.h

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_EVENT_LOGGING   "SDL_EVENT_LOGGING"

Remarks

This 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.
• "3": Include SDL_SysWMEvent 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_LogSetOutputFunction(), etc.

This hint can be toggled on and off at runtime, if you only need to log events for a small subset of program execution.
