tumbler_check_version ()

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

Checks that the tumbler library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants TUMBLER_MAJOR_VERSION, TUMBLER_MINOR_VERSION and TUMBLER_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of tumbler the application was compiled against.

Example 1. Checking the runtime version of the tumbler library

const gchar *mismatch;
mismatch = tumbler_check_version (TUMBLER_VERSION_MAJOR,
                                  TUMBLER_VERSION_MINOR,
                                  TUMBLER_VERSION_MICRO);
if (G_UNLIKELY (mismatch != NULL))
  g_error ("Version mismatch: %s", mismatch);

Parameters

required_major

the required major version.

 

required_minor

the required minor version.

 

required_micro

the required micro version.

 

Returns

NULL if the library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by the library and must not be freed or modified by the caller.
