✨ SDL_TTF_VERSION_ATLEAST ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL_ttf3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual 💖 this one's a macro, she's short, she's sweet, she's literally just a vibe check for your compile-time version. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_TTF_VERSION_ATLEAST — this macro will evaluate to true if compiled with SDL_ttf at least X.Y.Z. that's it. that's the whole girl. 💅

🎀 HEADER FILE 🎀

she lives here, bestie, don't lose her:

  • Defined in SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pull her in like this:

#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"

and here's the macro in all her glory — copying this exactly, character for character, because we do not freestyle with preprocessor definitions:

#define SDL_TTF_VERSION_ATLEAST(X, Y, Z) .BI ((SDL_TTF_MAJOR_VERSION>=X)&&.BI     (SDL_TTF_MAJOR_VERSION > X || SDL_TTF_MINOR_VERSION >= Y) && .BI (SDL_TTF_MAJOR_VERSION>X||SDL_TTF_MINOR_VERSION>Y||SDL_TTF_MICRO_VERSION>=Z))
ok so real talk: those .BI bits in there are troff formatting noise that leaked into the definition in the manpage source, and I am not allowed to clean them up for you. copy with your eyes open, babes. 👀

💜 the vibe, explained 💜

you feed her three numbers — X, Y, Z — and she checks the version you're actually compiled against. she peeks at SDL_TTF_MAJOR_VERSION, SDL_TTF_MINOR_VERSION, and SDL_TTF_MICRO_VERSION to do it. if your SDL_ttf is at least that version, she evaluates to true. if not, false. iconic. 🫶

use her for guarding code that needs a newer SDL_ttf so it doesn't explode on older builds. main character energy, truly.

🌈 that's a wrap 🌈
