<p>Checks that the GOA library in use is compatible with the
given version. Generally you would pass in the constants
<a class="link" href="goa-Version-Information.html#GOA-MAJOR-VERSION:CAPS" title="GOA_MAJOR_VERSION"><span class="type">GOA_MAJOR_VERSION</span></a>, <a class="link" href="goa-Version-Information.html#GOA-MINOR-VERSION:CAPS" title="GOA_MINOR_VERSION"><span class="type">GOA_MINOR_VERSION</span></a>, <a class="link" href="goa-Version-Information.html#GOA-MICRO-VERSION:CAPS" title="GOA_MICRO_VERSION"><span class="type">GOA_MICRO_VERSION</span></a>
as the three arguments to this function; that produces
a check that the library in use is compatible with
the version of GOA the application or module was compiled
against.</p>
<p>Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version
of the running library is newer than the version
<em class="parameter"><code>required_major</code></em>
.<em class="parameter"><code>required_minor</code></em>
.<em class="parameter"><code>required_micro</code></em>
. Second
the running library must be binary compatible with the
version <em class="parameter"><code>required_major</code></em>
.<em class="parameter"><code>required_minor</code></em>
.<em class="parameter"><code>required_micro</code></em>

(same major and minor version).</p>
