Availability
This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
Description
Note that this macro double-evaluates its parameter, so do not use expressions with side-effects here.
FourCC formats do their best here, but many of them don't have a meaningful measurement of bytes per
pixel.
Macro Parameters
format an SDL_PixelFormat to check.
