Bug 4359

Summary: SDL_CalculatePitch() returns zero for 1 and 4 bits per pixel formats
Product: SDL Reporter: DafabHoid <sdlbugs>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: minor

Description DafabHoid 2018-11-05 18:14:15 UTC 
Calling SDL_CalculatePitch() with one of the pixel formats INDEX1MSB, INDEX1LSB, INDEX4MSB, INDEX4LSB returns zero.
This makes it impossible to create a surface with one of those formats, because SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat returns a surface with a pitch of 0 and a pixels array malloc'ed with size 0. For obvious reasons such a surface can't be blitted nor converted and is therefore not usable.

The reason is that SDL_BYTESPERPIXEL() returns 0 for those formats, which is probably a problem in some other areas as well. I do not know if SDL plans to still support those formats, as they do not seem to be very popular, but in its current state they are just unusable.
