check_version
Description:
public unowned string? check_version (uint required_major, uint required_minor, uint required_micro)
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 check_version, but still get loaded into an application using a newer version of GTK.
Parameters:
| required_major |
the required major version |
| required_minor |
the required minor version |
| required_micro |
the required micro version |
Returns:
|
null if the GTK library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by GTK and should not be modified or freed. |
