Disable windows thread naming doesn't work

[anchurcn]

The SDL_GetHint(SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING); returns "1" still throw exception 0x406d1388 when I using pure managed .NET debugger launch the app. I set SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING via environment variable.

Someone knows how to fix it? Thanks.

The environment variables are the values of the hint macros, so you should set SDL_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING instead.

Try this out.

Also please don't run binaries, randomly posted on forums.

edit Looks like GitHub flagged and removed this post themselves.

Did that fix your issue?

Yup, we scared him away 🤣

@madebr No. I have set both "SDL_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING", "SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING" to "1" before I post the issue.

docs/README-migration.md
849:* SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING - SDL now properly handles the 0x406D1388 Exception if no debugger intercepts it, preventing its propagation.

(Perhaps that isn't true, though. But that hint is gone in SDL3.)
