✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pods::...ersion(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖

We're talking about SDL::Version — the SDL bindings for structure SDL_Version. Slay. 🎀

🦋 CATEGORY 🦋

• Core
• Structure

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use SDL;
use SDL::Version;

# print compile-time version
printf("SDL::version is %d.%d.%d\n", SDL::version->major,
                                     SDL::version->minor,
                                     SDL::version->patch);

# print linked version
printf("SDL::linked_version is %d.%d.%d\n", SDL::linked_version->major,
                                            SDL::linked_version->minor,
                                            SDL::linked_version->patch);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the SDL::Version structure is used by the SDL::linked_version function and the SDL::version macro. Iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

The SDL::linked_version function returns the link-time SDL version, whereas SDL::version returns the compile-time SDL version. They are literally giving different timing vibes. 🕰️

Note, bestie: this is the SDL version, not the SDL_Perl version. The SDL_Perl version is in $SDL::VERSION. iykyk 💀
