/**
* Compose a custom blend mode for renderers.
*
* The functions SDL_SetRenderDrawBlendMode and SDL_SetTextureBlendMode accept
* the SDL_BlendMode returned by this function if the renderer supports it.
*
* A blend mode controls how the pixels from a drawing operation (source) get
* combined with the pixels from the render target (destination). First, the
* components of the source and destination pixels get multiplied with their
* blend factors. Then, the blend operation takes the two products and
* calculates the result that will get stored in the render target.
*
* Expressed in pseudocode, it would look like this:
*
* ```c
* dstRGB = colorOperation(srcRGB * srcColorFactor, dstRGB * dstColorFactor);
* dstA = alphaOperation(srcA * srcAlphaFactor, dstA * dstAlphaFactor);
* ```
*
* Where the functions `colorOperation(src, dst)` and `alphaOperation(src,
* dst)` can return one of the following:
*
* - `src + dst`
* - `src - dst`
* - `dst - src`
* - `min(src, dst)`
* - `max(src, dst)`
*
* The red, green, and blue components are always multiplied with the first,
* second, and third components of the SDL_BlendFactor, respectively. The
* fourth component is not used.
*
* The alpha component is always multiplied with the fourth component of the
* SDL_BlendFactor. The other components are not used in the alpha
* calculation.
*
* Support for these blend modes varies for each renderer. To check if a
* specific SDL_BlendMode is supported, create a renderer and pass it to
* either SDL_SetRenderDrawBlendMode or SDL_SetTextureBlendMode. They will
* return with an error if the blend mode is not supported.
*
* This list describes the support of custom blend modes for each renderer.
* All renderers support the four blend modes listed in the SDL_BlendMode
* enumeration.
*
* - **direct3d**: Supports all operations with all factors. However, some
* factors produce unexpected results with `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_MINIMUM` and
* `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_MAXIMUM`.
* - **direct3d11**: Same as Direct3D 9.
* - **opengl**: Supports the `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_ADD` operation with all
* factors. OpenGL versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 do not work correctly here.
* - **opengles2**: Supports the `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_ADD`,
* `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_SUBTRACT`, `SDL_BLENDOPERATION_REV_SUBTRACT`
* operations with all factors.
* - **psp**: No custom blend mode support.
* - **software**: No custom blend mode support.
*
* Some renderers do not provide an alpha component for the default render
* target. The `SDL_BLENDFACTOR_DST_ALPHA` and
* `SDL_BLENDFACTOR_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA` factors do not have an effect in this
* case.
*
* \param srcColorFactor the SDL_BlendFactor applied to the red, green, and
* blue components of the source pixels.
* \param dstColorFactor the SDL_BlendFactor applied to the red, green, and
* blue components of the destination pixels.
* \param colorOperation the SDL_BlendOperation used to combine the red,
* green, and blue components of the source and
* destination pixels.
* \param srcAlphaFactor the SDL_BlendFactor applied to the alpha component of
* the source pixels.
* \param dstAlphaFactor the SDL_BlendFactor applied to the alpha component of
* the destination pixels.
* \param alphaOperation the SDL_BlendOperation used to combine the alpha
* component of the source and destination pixels.
* \returns an SDL_BlendMode that represents the chosen factors and
* operations.
*
* \threadsafety It is safe to call this function from any thread.
