It does not work with branches though (we're not really planning to have branches I believe), but more importantly it won't handle cross-repository versioning (how do you relate the number this command prints in the llvm repo to the number it'll print in the clang repo?), which I believe is something important considering our setup. -- Mehdi > > > Our build scripts make this number available in various #define forms. > > (We use a little extra scripting logic to also determine whether there > are currently any unmerged or uncommitted changes, and add an annotation > to the program version in that case, e.g. "9.3.17475 [unmerged]") > > > It's all stupidly simple, but seems to work well enough for us. > > > > Regards, > > Bill > > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > llvm-...@lists.llvm.org > http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
