Description
To maintain compatibility with different releases of the
core dune modules it would be nice to be able to have access
to the version of a module through some macro. The version
string in the config.h can not (to our knowledge) be used
in preprocessor code.
An example of this problem is code using the new grid views
and older code using the methods directly on the grid.
Suggestion is to use three defines of the form:
#define DUNE__VERSION_MAJOR 1 #define DUNE__VERSION_MINOR 1 #define DUNE__VERSION_REVISION 0
A possibility would be to have a file version.hh in each module with the information. For the time being this could be added to the trunk if generating it during configure is to much trouble.
