SDL_HINT_POLL_SENTINEL - A variable controlling the use of a sentinel event when polling the event queue.
Contents
Availability
This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Simple Directmedia Layer SDL 3.2.10 SDL_HINT_POLL_SENTINEL(3)
Description
When polling for events, SDL_PumpEvents
is used to gather new events from devices. If a device keeps producing new events between calls to
SDL_PumpEvents , a poll loop will become stuck until the new events stop. This is most noticeable when
moving a high frequency mouse.
The variable can be set to the following values:
• "0": Disable poll sentinels.
• "1": Enable poll sentinels. (default)
This hint can be set anytime.
