After discussion with @ocornut, SDL_RenderGeometryRaw() will take floating point colors and conversion from 8-bit color can happen on the application side. We can always add an 8-bit color fast path in the future if we need it on handheld platforms.
If you need code to do this in your application, you can use the following:
int SDL_RenderGeometryRaw8BitColor(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Texture *texture, const float *xy, int xy_stride, const SDL_Color *color, int color_stride, const float *uv, int uv_stride, int num_vertices, const void *indices, int num_indices, int size_indices)
{
int i, retval, isstack;
const Uint8 *color2 = (const Uint8 *)color;
SDL_FColor *color3;
if (num_vertices <= 0) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("num_vertices");
}
if (!color) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("color");
}
color3 = (SDL_FColor *)SDL_small_alloc(SDL_FColor, num_vertices, &isstack);
if (!color3) {
return -1;
}
for (i = 0; i < num_vertices; ++i) {
color3[i].r = color->r / 255.0f;
color3[i].g = color->g / 255.0f;
color3[i].b = color->b / 255.0f;
color3[i].a = color->a / 255.0f;
color2 += color_stride;
color = (const SDL_Color *)color2;
}
retval = SDL_RenderGeometryRaw(renderer, texture, xy, xy_stride, color3, sizeof(*color3), uv, uv_stride, num_vertices, indices, num_indices, size_indices);
SDL_small_free(color3, isstack);
return retval;
}
