If you are linking to SDL dynamically, then it is possible that it will be different than the version you compiled against.

This is a real function; the macro SDL_VERSION() tells you what version of SDL you compiled against. If you are dynamically linking to SDL the return value of the two may be different.
If you are linking to SDL dynamically, then it is possible that the current version will be different than the version you compiled against.  This function returns the current version. [[SDL_VERSION]]() is a macro that tells you what version of SDL you compiled against. If you are dynamically linking to SDL the return value of the two may be different.

SDL_GetVersion

Use this function to get the version of SDL that is linked against your program.

Syntax

void SDL_GetVersion(SDL_version* ver)

Function Parameters

ver

a pointer to the SDL_version structure that contains the version information

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 linked against SDL version %d.%d.%d.\n",
       linked.major, linked.minor, linked.patch);

Remarks

If you are linking to SDL dynamically, then it is possible that the current version will be different than the version you compiled against. This function returns the current version. SDL_VERSION() is a macro that tells you what version of SDL you compiled against. If you are dynamically linking to SDL the return value of the two may be different.

This function may be called safely at any time, even before SDL_Init().
