68 * The timer callback function may run in a different thread than your

71 * The maximum resolution of this timer is 10 ms, which means that if
72 * you request a 16 ms timer, your callback will run approximately 20 ms
73 * later on an unloaded system. If you wanted to set a flag signaling
74 * a frame update at 30 frames per second (every 33 ms), you might set a
75 * timer for 30 ms:
76 * SDL_SetTimer((33/10)*10, flag_update);
77 *
78 * If you use this function, you need to pass SDL_INIT_TIMER to SDL_Init().
79 *
80 * Under UNIX, you should not use raise or use SIGALRM and this function
81 * in the same program, as it is implemented using setitimer(). You also
82 * should not use this function in multi-threaded applications as signals
83 * to multi-threaded apps have undefined behavior in some implementations.
