[vlc-devel] Checking VLC version from code

[Jakob Leben]

Hi!

All I could find about getting VLC version from code was VERSION_STRING.
Wouldn't it be very useful to be able to separatly get major, minor and
build numbers? Is that already implemented?

On the other hand, is it safe enough to parse the numbers from
VERSION_STRING, supposing that it will always start with version number
immediately (x.x.x...) ?

There is an incompatibility with Qt playlist settings at 1.0.x and 1.1 so I
want to save version into settings and check it when loading them.

Cheers,

Jakob
