Querying SDL Version (SDL_version.h)

These functions are used to collect or display information about the version of SDL that is currently being used by the program.

  • The version number consists of three segments (X.Y.Z)
    • X = Major Version, which increments with massive changes, additions, and enhancements

    • Y = Minor Version, which increments with backwards-compatible changes to the major revision

    • Z = Patchlevel, which increments with fixes to the minor revision

    Example: 1.3.0

{i} There are four (4) macros green

that apply to this header.

  • SDL_VERSION

    • This macro gathers information from SDL_MAJOR_VERSION, SDL_MINOR_VERSION, AND SDL_PATCHLEVEL (#defines) and fills the structure SDL_version with that information.

  • SDL_VERSIONNUM

    • A minor macro that converts version numbers into a numeric value.
  • SDL_COMPILEDVERSION

    • A minor macro that produces the current SDL version number (major.minor.patchlevel)
  • SDL_VERSION_ATLEAST

    • A minor macro that confirms whether a program was compiled with a version no older than the specified version.
