Function
Gtkcheck_version
Declaration [src]
const char*
gtk_check_version (
guint required_major,
guint required_minor,
guint required_micro
)
Description [src]
Checks that the GTK library in use is compatible with the given version.
Generally you would pass in the constants GTK_MAJOR_VERSION
,
GTK_MINOR_VERSION
, GTK_MICRO_VERSION
as the three arguments
to this function; that produces a check that the library in
use is compatible with the version of GTK the application or
module was compiled against.
Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version
of the running library is newer than the version
required_major
.required_minor.required_micro
. Second
the running library must be binary compatible with the
version required_major
.required_minor.required_micro
(same major version.)
This function is primarily for GTK modules; the module can call this function to check that it wasn’t loaded into an incompatible version of GTK. However, such a check isn’t completely reliable, since the module may be linked against an old version of GTK and calling the old version of gtk_check_version(), but still get loaded into an application using a newer version of GTK.
