Re: [avr-gcc-list] Code version timestamp

[Ben L. Titzer]

For my project, I made a "commit.bash" shell script that I run when I  
want to commit code to CVS when it is working. It automatically  
recompiles the whole code base (to guarantee there are no compile  
errors), runs a suite of automated test cases, and then increments a  
"commit number" in one of the source files. Then, it commits  
everything to cvs, including the source file with the version number.  
Thus, the version file contains a version for the whole project, and  
the script has the side-benefit of catching any compile errors or  
test failures before i commit to CVS.

Hope this helps,
