Commit 911bf6241b28437255dca540096eb0228577258b

Ryan C. Gordon 2019-03-15T14:08:30

events: Make debug logging of the event queue a hint instead of an #ifdef. This makes it easy to toggle it on when debugging a new platform (or just getting more visibility into an app) without having to rebuild SDL.

+ *    "1"     - Log all events except mouse and finger motion, which are pretty spammy.

+ *  OutputDebugString() on Windows, and can be funneled by the app with
+ *  SDL_LogSetOutputFunction(), etc.
