Pre-Defined Identifier for compiler version?
PostPosted: Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:04 am     Reply with quote

The compiler manual lists several pre-defined pre-processor identifiers like __DATE__ and __TIME__ that can be included in the C source code.

Is there a pre-defined identifier for the compiler version number? If not, is there another to determine the compiler version number automatically?

I am looking for a way to embed the compiler version number in the source code without having to manually update a constant or string value.

Hi, you can use getenv() function for that.

Quote:
value = getenv (cstring);
VERSION
Returns the compiler version as a float

VERSION_STRING
Returns the compiler version as a string


Code:
#IF  getenv("VERSION")<3.050

   #ERROR  Compiler version too old

#ENDIF
