Constant SDL_HINT_TIMER_RESOLUTION

pub const SDL_HINT_TIMER_RESOLUTION: *const i8 = _; // {alloc39943<imm>: *const i8}
Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.
Expand description

A variable that controls the timer resolution, in milliseconds.

The higher resolution the timer, the more frequently the CPU services timer interrupts, and the more precise delays are, but this takes up power and CPU time. This hint is only used on Windows.

See this blog post for more information: http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/windows-timer-resolution-megawatts-wasted/

The default value is “1”.

If this variable is set to “0”, the system timer resolution is not set.

This hint can be set anytime.

§Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
