Version information in build

version_$";whereversion_$ will be replaced with real version information by the source control tool.

You will need to read the Manual for your particular source control tool for find out precisely how it does it.

Even without a source control tool you can get a simple timestamp by, eg,

code char build_timestamp[] = "__DATE__" "__TIME__";

Put this in a file - say timestamp.c - and set its project options to 'Always Rebuild'.

I'd be surprised if it didn't actually tell you all this itself!

Read-Only Author Victoria Selin Posted 24-Jul-2006 07:11 GMT Toolset None	Version information in build Victoria Selin Is it possible to create some kind of listing, in the compile/linking time, with file version information,taken from source control program (ClearCase in our case)? I mean that I want to have detailed information, of what version of which file was used in current compilation. Thank you in advance :)
Read-Only Author A.W. Neil Posted 24-Jul-2006 08:20 GMT Toolset None	RE: Version information in build A.W. Neil Most source control systems have some way to insert version information into the text of the controlled files - usually by some sort of keyword expansion. You just need to use this to initialise some strings in code space; eg, code char version[] ="

Read-Only Author A.W. Neil Posted 24-Jul-2006 08:27 GMT Toolset None	RE: Version information in build A.W. Neil Did I get the wrong end of the stick there? You just want a listing, rather than to embed the information in the generated object file(s)? If that's the case, the solution is similar - but you just get the source control system to put the information into a comment somewhere in each file. The header comment for each file would seem the obvious place... eg, /* File: blah.c * Version:
