Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 21:02:33 +0200 From: "Philippe Plantier (ayin)" Subject: [SDL] Problems allocating large surfaces There are problems when allocating large surfaces using SDL_CreateRGBSurface. When, for example, we try to allocate a surface wider than 16384 pixels, the calculation of the pitch overflows; this leads to a surface that has the w and h flags correctly set, but whose "pixels" buffer is too small. That may lead to heap corruption.

The test programs in this directory tree are for demonstrating and
testing the functionality of the SDL library, and are placed in the
public domain.
