Checks that the GLib library in use is compatible with the given version.
Generally you would pass in the constants MAJOR, MINOR, MICRO 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.)
required_major |
the required major version |
required_minor |
the required minor version |
required_micro |
the required micro version |
null if the GLib library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by GLib and must not be modified or freed. |
