sqlite3_version is not a function. it is the "location" of the version string.
The definition of sqlite3_version is: char sqlite3_version[]; equivalent to char *sqlite3_version; not a function that returns a pointer. It is a pointer to a zero terminated string (or rather the address of the first character of the zero-terminated version string) --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume. >-----Original Message----- >From: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users- >boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Papa >Sent: Friday, 25 August, 2017 20:56 >To: SQLite mailing list >Subject: [sqlite] C++ sqlite_version() > >In my C++ program, I'd like to display the SQLite3 version.
