Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 13:35:43 +0100 From: "Martin Bickel" Subject: [SDL] Patch: fixing uninitilized palette while running Valgrind over my application I found the following problem in SDL: The function MapNto1 allocates SDL_Color colors[256] but does not initialize it. SDL_DitherColors is then called which initialized the r, g and b component, but not the 'unused' component of each color. When Map1to1 is called from MapNto1, it runs a memcmp on the colors, which also evaluates the unused component and therefor returns differences much more often than necessary. So the 'unused' component of SDL_Color should be initialized. This patch does this by calling memset for the whole array in MapNto1 .
