Code Examples

SDL_version compiled;
SDL_version linked;

SDL_VERSION(&compiled);
SDL_GetVersion(&linked);
printf("We compiled against SDL version %d.%d.%d ...\n",
       compiled.major, compiled.minor, compiled.patch);
printf("But we are linking against SDL version %d.%d.%d.\n",
       linked.major, linked.minor, linked.patch);

Remarks

Represents the library's version as three levels:

  • major revision (increments with massive changes, additions, and enhancements)
  • minor revision (increments with backwards-compatible changes to the major revision), and
  • patchlevel (increments with fixes to the minor revision)

The macro SDL_VERSION can be used to populate this structure with information.
