Description
GTK+ provides version information, primarily useful in configure checks for builds that have a configure script. Applications will not typically use the features described here.
Functions
gtk_get_major_version ()
guint
gtk_get_major_version (void
);
Returns the major version number of the GTK+ library. (e.g. in GTK+ version 3.1.5 this is 3.)
This function is in the library, so it represents the GTK+ library your code is running against. Contrast with the GTK_MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the GTK+ headers you have included when compiling your code.
Since: 3.0
gtk_get_minor_version ()
guint
gtk_get_minor_version (void
);
Returns the minor version number of the GTK+ library. (e.g. in GTK+ version 3.1.5 this is 1.)
This function is in the library, so it represents the GTK+ library your code is are running against. Contrast with the GTK_MINOR_VERSION macro, which represents the minor version of the GTK+ headers you have included when compiling your code.
Since: 3.0
gtk_get_micro_version ()
guint
gtk_get_micro_version (void
);
Returns the micro version number of the GTK+ library. (e.g. in GTK+ version 3.1.5 this is 5.)
This function is in the library, so it represents the GTK+ library your code is are running against. Contrast with the GTK_MICRO_VERSION macro, which represents the micro version of the GTK+ headers you have included when compiling your code.
Since: 3.0
gtk_get_binary_age ()
guint
gtk_get_binary_age (void
);
Returns the binary age as passed to libtool
when building the GTK+ library the process is running against.
If libtool
means nothing to you, don't
worry about it.
Since: 3.0
gtk_get_interface_age ()
guint
gtk_get_interface_age (void
);
Returns the interface age as passed to libtool
when building the GTK+ library the process is running against.
If libtool
means nothing to you, don't
worry about it.
Since: 3.0
gtk_check_version ()
const gchar * gtk_check_version (guint required_major
,guint required_minor
,guint 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 gtk_check_version()
, but still get loaded
into an application using a newer version of GTK+.
GTK_CHECK_VERSION()
#define GTK_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)
Returns TRUE
if the version of the GTK+ header files
is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.
Types and Values
GTK_MAJOR_VERSION
#define GTK_MAJOR_VERSION (3)
Like gtk_get_major_version()
, but from the headers used at
application compile time, rather than from the library linked
against at application run time.
GTK_MINOR_VERSION
#define GTK_MINOR_VERSION (24)
Like gtk_get_minor_version()
, but from the headers used at
application compile time, rather than from the library linked
against at application run time.
GTK_MICRO_VERSION
#define GTK_MICRO_VERSION (31)
Like gtk_get_micro_version()
, but from the headers used at
application compile time, rather than from the library linked
against at application run time.
GTK_BINARY_AGE
#define GTK_BINARY_AGE (2431)
Like gtk_get_binary_age()
, but from the headers used at
application compile time, rather than from the library linked
against at application run time.
GTK_INTERFACE_AGE
#define GTK_INTERFACE_AGE (27)
Like gtk_get_interface_age()
, but from the headers used at
application compile time, rather than from the library linked
against at application run time.
