GPluginversion_check

Declaration [src]

const char*
gplugin_version_check (
  guint major,
  guint minor,
  guint micro
)
[]

Description [src]

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

Generally you would pass in the constants GPLUGIN_MAJOR_VERSION, GPLUGIN_MINOR_VERSION, GPLUGIN_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of GPlugin 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 major.minor.micro. Second the running library must be binary compatible with the version major.minor.micro (same major version).
