SDL_WaitForGPUIdle(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_WaitForGPUIdle — bestie, this one just blocks the thread until the GPU is completely idle. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

So like, you call it, and your thread just sits there politely waiting until the GPU has literally nothing left to do. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>

bool SDL_WaitForGPUIdle(
    SDL_GPUDevice *device);

okay so you gotta pull in the header first, <SDL3/SDL_gpu.h>, and then it's one function, one arg, one bool coming back. iconic honestly. 🫶
