-/**
- * Tell SDL not to name threads on Windows with the 0x406D1388 Exception.
- *        The 0x406D1388 Exception is a trick used to inform Visual Studio of a
- *        thread's name, but it tends to cause problems with other debuggers,
- *        and the .NET runtime. Note that SDL 2.0.6 and later will still use
- *        the (safer) SetThreadDescription API, introduced in the Windows 10
- *        Creators Update, if available.
- *
- * The variable can be set to the following values:
- *   "0"       - SDL will raise the 0x406D1388 Exception to name threads.
- *               This is the default behavior of SDL <= 2.0.4.
- *   "1"       - SDL will not raise this exception, and threads will be unnamed. (default)
- *               This is necessary with .NET languages or debuggers that aren't Visual Studio.
