It relies on the generated -- constant in the binder generated package that records this information. -- Note: to use this package you must first instantiate it, for example: -- package CVer is new GNAT.Compiler_Version; -- and then you use the function in the instantiated package (Cver.Version). -- The reason that this unit is generic is that otherwise the direct attempt -- to import the necessary variable from the binder file causes trouble when -- building a shared library, since the symbol is not available. -- Note: this unit is only useable if the main program is written in Ada. -- It cannot be used if the main program is written in foreign language. generic package GNAT.Compiler_Version is pragma Pure; function Version return String; -- This function returns the version in the form "v.vvx (yyyyddmm)". -- Here v.vv is the main version number (e.g. 3.16), x is the version -- designator (e.g. a1 in 3.16a1), and yyyyddmm is the date in ISO form. -- An example of the returned value would be "3.16w (20021029)". The -- version is actually that of the binder used to bind the program, -- which will be the same as the compiler version if a consistent -- set of tools is used to build the program. end GNAT.Compiler_Version;
