SDL_ONAPPLICATIONDIDRECEIVEMEMORYWARNING(3)

SDL_OnApplicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, this one's a whole vibe and also a very specific one, so let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_OnApplicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning — the lil function that lets iOS apps with their own external event handling report onApplicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_system.h>

void SDL_OnApplicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning(void);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this function lets iOS apps that have their own event handling hook into SDL so they can generate SDL events. it's giving bridge energy 🌉

it maps directly to an iOS-specific event, but — and this is the plot twist — since it doesn't actually do anything iOS-specific internally, it's available on all platforms, just in case it might be useful for some specific paradigm. lowkey iconic of it honestly 💅

ngl bestie, most apps do <strong>not</strong> need to use this directly. SDL's own internal event code will handle all of this for windows created by SDL_CreateWindow! so like… if you're not doing the custom event handling thing, this is not your moment, and that's okay 🎀

---

💜 THREAD SAFETY 💜

it is safe to call this function from any thread. go off, queen 👑

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function has been available since SDL 3.2.0 🌈

---

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

no SEE ALSO references in this one bestie, we're flying solo 🦋

and that's the whole page, no cap. this gem lives in the Simple Directmedia Layer manual, SDL 3.4.18, and yes the header is technically SDL_OnApplica...MemoryWarning(3) because even manpages gotta abbreviate when they run out of room 😭 stay hydrated, check your memory warnings, and slay 💖✨🌸🫶
