[Firebird-devel] Versions

[Ann W. H. <aha...@ib...>]

Everyone,

    Now that I've got the version code in and working, it's time
to discuss the message and get it right.

This is the message that isc_version will return:

         Firebird/x86/Windows NT (access method), version "WI-T6.2
         or more correctly WI-T1.0.0.<build no> Firebird Beta2"

The components of the message are:

Firebird/x86/Windows NT  - from the array impl_implemenations in
	utl.c, indexed by the implementation number returned for
	the isc_info_implementation db_info call.
access method	- from an array of classes in utl.c, indexed by
	the second part of the return to isc_info_implementation.
WI 	- comes from the platform definition in license.h
T 	- comes from build_no.h
6 	- hard coded in license.h as ISC_MAJOR_VER
2 	- hard coded in license.h as ISC_MAJOR_VER
WI 	- again from platform definition in license.h
T 	- from build_no.h, FB_BUILD_TYPE
1 	- from build_no.h, FB_MAJOR_VER
0 	- from build_no.h, FB_MINOR_VER
0 	- from build_no.h, FB_REV_NO
<build no>  - from build_no.h, FB_BUILD_NO
Firebird Beta2 - from build_no.h, FB_BUILD_SUFFIX

The parameter isc_info_firebird_version will return this:
     WI-T1.0.0.<build no> Firebird Beta2

The parameter isc_info_isc_version will return this:
     WI-T6.2\n\tor more correctly WI-T1.0.0.<build no> Firebird Beta2


Cheers,


Ann
