💖 ALLEGRO_VERSION 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual, section 3, and today's main character is a tiny little macro that knows exactly how old your Allegro is 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_VERSION — it's literally defined to the major version of Allegro. that's it. that's the whole job. and it slays at it 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

#define ALLEGRO_VERSION

so you pull in <allegro.h> and boom, the macro is just there, no cap 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ALLEGRO_VERSION is defined to the major version of Allegro. like, the big number. the vibe-setting number.

say your version number looks like 4.1.16 — in that case this macro is defined to the integer 4. the 4 is the whole personality here, the .1.16 is just along for the ride 🙈

so yeah: major version, integer, done. periodt ✨

fr fr, if you're checking versions in your code, this is the girlypop that tells you which generation of Allegro you're dealing with 💜

okay that's the page!! this was brought to you by Allegro, version 4.4.3, and by the ALLEGRO_VERSION(3) page of the Allegro manual — stay iconic, go write some code, mwah 🫶💖🌈
