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.

  • SDL_GetVersion() returns the current version number.

  • SDL_VERSION is a macro that tells you what version of SDL you compiled against.

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