24 *
25 * Simple log messages with categories and priorities.
26 *
27 * By default logs are quiet, but if you're debugging SDL you might want:
28 *
29 * SDL_LogSetAllPriority(SDL_LOG_PRIORITY_WARN);
30 *
31 * Here's where the messages go on different platforms:
32 * Windows: debug output stream
33 * Android: log output
34 * Others: standard error output (stderr)
