✨ SDL_ResetHints ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS girlies 💅 this one's called SDL_ResetHints, and no, it's not about your situationship — it's about hints. the SDL kind. let's get into it 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

SDL_ResetHints — reset all hints to the default values. yes, ALL of them. every single one. we're doing a full factory reset on the hint vibes ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

void SDL_ResetHints(void);

she takes no arguments, she returns nothing, she simply does the thing. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea ☕ this function will reset all hints to the value of the associated environment variable, or NULL if the environment isn't set.

read that again. not to some hardcoded default. to whatever the environment variable says. if the env var is there, that's your new value. if it's not set? NULL. periodt.

and because SDL is a considerate icon, callbacks will be called normally with this change 💖 so nobody gets ghosted, everyone gets notified, the whole group chat is up to date. we love healthy communication 🫶
