get_major_version

Returns the major version number of the GtkSourceView library.

(e.g. in GtkSourceView version 3.20.0 this is 3.)

This function is in the library, so it represents the GtkSourceView library your code is running against. Contrast with the MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the GtkSourceView headers you have included when compiling your code.

Returns:

the major version number of the GtkSourceView library
