SDL_VERSION

Macro to determine SDL version program was compiled against.

Header File

Syntax

#define SDL_VERSION(x)                \
{                                     \
    (x)->major = SDL_MAJOR_VERSION;   \
    (x)->minor = SDL_MINOR_VERSION;   \
    (x)->patch = SDL_PATCHLEVEL;      \
}

Macro Parameters

x	A pointer to an SDL_Version struct to initialize.

Remarks

This macro fills in an SDL_Version structure with the version of the library you compiled against. This is determined by what header the compiler uses. Note that if you dynamically linked the library, you might have a slightly newer or older version at runtime. That version can be determined with SDL_GetVersion(), which, unlike SDL_VERSION(), is not a macro.

Version

This macro is available since SDL 3.0.0.
