Function

GLib-2.0 ▶ GLib ▶ check_versionSince 2.6

  • Checks that the GLib library in use is compatible with the given version.

    Generally you would pass in the constants GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION, GLIB_MINOR_VERSION, GLIB_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of GLib 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.)

    Parameters

    • required_major: number

      the required major version

    • required_minor: number

      the required minor version

    • required_micro: number

      the required micro version

    Returns string

    null if the GLib library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by GLib and must not be modified or freed.
