Function SDL_BITSPERPIXEL

pub const fn SDL_BITSPERPIXEL(format: SDL_PixelFormat) -> u8

Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.

A macro to determine an SDL_PixelFormat’s bits per pixel.

Note that this macro double-evaluates its parameter, so do not use expressions with side-effects here.

FourCC formats will report zero here, as it rarely makes sense to measure them per-pixel.

Parameters

• format: an SDL_PixelFormat to check.

Return value

Returns the bits-per-pixel of format.

Thread safety

It is safe to call this macro from any thread.

Availability

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
