libjodycode is a software code library containing code shared among several of the programs written by Jody Bruchon such as imagepile, jdupes, winregfs, and zeromerge. These shared pieces of code were copied between each program as they were updated. As the number of programs increased and keeping these pieces of code synced became more annoying, the decision was made to combine all of them into a single reusable shared library.

In libjodycode 2.0 a new version table was introduced that maintains a separate version number for each logical section of the library. If something in the library changes in a way that's no longer compatible with previous versions, this version table paired with the provided "libjodycode_check.c/.h" files will allow the linked program to verify that the sections of the library it actually uses have not changed, ignoring the rest. This has a significant advantage over the simpler whole-API version system because the program itself can detect if the library it's linked to is still compatible enough to safely continue.
The provided version check code reports detailed information about the problem in a way that is both understandable by users and informative to maintainers.
