SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
uint32_t al_get_allegro_version(void)DESCRIPTION
Returns the (compiled) version of the Allegro library, packed into a
single integer as groups of 8 bits in the form
(major << 24) | (minor << 16) | (revision << 8) | release.
You can use code like this to extract them:
uint32_t version = al_get_allegro_version();
int major = version >> 24;
int minor = (version >> 16) & 255;
int revision = (version >> 8) & 255;
int release = version & 255;
The release number is 0 for an unofficial version and 1 or greater for
an official release. For example "5.0.2[1]" would be the (first) offi‐
cial 5.0.2 release while "5.0.2[0]" would be a compile of a version
from the "5.0.2" branch before the official release.
