check


Description:

public unowned string? check (uint required_major, uint required_minor = 0, uint required_micro = 0)

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.)

Parameters:

required_major

the required major version

required_minor

the required minor version

required_micro

the required micro version

Returns:

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.
