int SDL_AppEvent(const SDL_Event *event);
```
This will be called once for each event pushed into the SDL queue. This may be
called from any thread, and possibly in parallel to SDL_AppIterate. The fields
in `event` should not be free'd (as you would normally need to do for
SDL_EVENT_DROP_FILE, etc), and your app should not call SDL_PollEvent,
SDL_PumpEvent, etc, as SDL will manage this for you. Return values are the
same as from SDL_AppIterate(), so you can terminate in response to
SDL_EVENT_QUIT, etc.
One can still use their own event filters and watchers. Filters set with
SDL_SetEventFilter will run before SDL_AppEvent, and if it filters out the
event, SDL_AppEvent will not run at all. Watchers set with SDL_AddEventWatch
will run in serial to SDL_AppEvent, as SDL_AppEvent itself is built on top of
an event watcher; which one runs first is not guaranteed.
This will be called whenever an SDL event arrives, on the thread that runs
SDL_AppIterate. You don't need to call SDL_CleanupEvent(), and your app
should not call SDL_PollEvent, SDL_PumpEvent, etc, as SDL will manage this
for you. Return values are the same as from SDL_AppIterate(), so you can
terminate in response to SDL_EVENT_QUIT, etc.
