IDE version

Is it possible to get running code to report the version of the IDE used to build the project? Something like the following lines in the code:

 

global IDEVersionA = IDE_VERSION_A;

global IDEVersionB = IDE_VERSION_B;

global IDEVersionC = IDE_VERSION_C;

global IDEVersionD = IDE_VERSION_D;

 

where IDE_VERSION_A,B,C,D are #defined by the installed IDE as say 2,3,0,40

Enter this as a feature request in Bugzilla. This will insure the programmers schedule the addition.

Thanks Steve. Done. I guess you're saying it is not currently possible. Bug 1362 entered in case anyone wants to track.

For now you could hard code this into pp_startup.txt:

p1=2

p2=3

p3=0

p4=40

But that will not dynamically adjust to the actual IDE version.

 

If I build the project with your suggestion in a 2.0.3.40 IDE then great, but when someone running 2.0.0.25 pulls the code from SVN and builds and downloads the project P1-4 will not report the IDE she used. Unless she changes the code, then we have a version control nightmare.

 

I want RUNNING code to tell me what downloaded it.

 

Like:

__GNUC__

__GNUC_MINOR__

__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__

Dear all,

Do someone know if a solution was found to get the IDE version in the running code?

Thanks

The software group is working on this for the next release or patch.
