check_version

function check_version(required_major:Number, required_minor:Number, required_micro:Number):String {
    // Gjs wrapper for gtk_check_version()
}

Checks that the GTK+ library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants #GTK_MAJOR_VERSION, #GTK_MINOR_VERSION, #GTK_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of GTK+ the application or module was compiled against.

Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version of the running library is newer than the version required_major.required_minor.required_micro. Second the running library must be binary compatible with the version required_major.required_minor.required_micro (same major version.)

This function is primarily for GTK+ modules; the module can call this function to check that it wasn't loaded into an incompatible version of GTK+. However, such a check isn't completely reliable, since the module may be linked against an old version of GTK+ and calling the old version of check_version, but still get loaded into an application using a newer version of GTK+.
