glib_check_version ()

const gchar *
glib_check_version (guint required_major,
                    guint required_minor,
                    guint required_micro);

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.)

Since 2.6

GLIB_CHECK_VERSION()

#define             GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)

Checks the version of the GLib library that is being compiled against. See glib_check_version() for a runtime check.

GLIB_VERSION_2_26

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_26       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 26))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.26 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.32

GLIB_VERSION_2_28

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_28       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 28))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.28 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.32

GLIB_VERSION_2_30

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_30       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 30))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.30 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.32

GLIB_VERSION_2_32

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_32       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 32))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.32 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.32

GLIB_VERSION_2_34

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_34       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 34))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.34 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.34

GLIB_VERSION_2_36

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_36       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 36))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.36 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.36

GLIB_VERSION_2_38

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_38       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 38))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.38 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.38

GLIB_VERSION_2_40

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_40       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 40))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.40 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.40

GLIB_VERSION_2_42

#define GLIB_VERSION_2_42       (G_ENCODE_VERSION (2, 42))

A macro that evaluates to the 2.42 version of GLib, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since 2.42

GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED

# define GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED      (GLIB_VERSION_CUR_STABLE)

A macro that should be defined by the user prior to including the glib.h header. The definition should be one of the predefined GLib version macros: GLIB_VERSION_2_26, GLIB_VERSION_2_28,...

This macro defines the earliest version of GLib that the package is required to be able to compile against.

If the compiler is configured to warn about the use of deprecated functions, then using functions that were deprecated in version GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED or earlier will cause warnings (but using functions deprecated in later releases will not).

Since 2.32

GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

# define GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED      (GLIB_VERSION_CUR_STABLE)

A macro that should be defined by the user prior to including the glib.h header. The definition should be one of the predefined GLib version macros: GLIB_VERSION_2_26, GLIB_VERSION_2_28,...

This macro defines the latest version of the GLib API that the package is allowed to make use of.

If the compiler is configured to warn about the use of deprecated functions, then using functions added after version GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED will cause warnings.

Unless you are using GLIB_CHECK_VERSION() or the like to compile different code depending on the GLib version, then this should be set to the same value as GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED.

Since 2.32

glib_major_version

extern const guint glib_major_version;

The major version of the GLib library.

An integer variable exported from the library linked against at application run time.

glib_minor_version

extern const guint glib_minor_version;

The minor version number of the GLib library.

An integer variable exported from the library linked against at application run time.

glib_micro_version

extern const guint glib_micro_version;

The micro version number of the GLib library.

An integer variable exported from the library linked against at application run time.

glib_binary_age

extern const guint glib_binary_age;

The binary age of the GLib library. Defines how far back backwards compatibility reaches.

An integer variable exported from the library linked against at application run time.

glib_interface_age

extern const guint glib_interface_age;

The interface age of the GLib library. Defines how far back the API has last been extended.

An integer variable exported from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION

#define GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION 2

The major version number of the GLib library.

Like glib_major_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_MINOR_VERSION

#define GLIB_MINOR_VERSION 42

The minor version number of the GLib library.

Like gtk_minor_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_MICRO_VERSION

#define GLIB_MICRO_VERSION 1

The micro version number of the GLib library.

Like gtk_micro_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS

#ifdef GLIB_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS

A macro that should be defined before including the glib.h header. If it is defined, no compiler warnings will be produced for uses of deprecated GLib APIs.
