I've added a function (
bitpit::getVersion()) that allows to retrieve version information at runtime. The version string contains the bitpit version plus additional information about git branch/commit. For example the version string may be like the following:where:
1.8.0is the "standard" bitpit versionadd.git.info.to.versionis the current branchde4aebf84is the current commitdirtyis a (configurable) label that tells if the current source has uncommitted changes.I haven't found a way to automatically re-run cmake (and thus update the version) if there are uncommitted changes. The "dirty" label will be reliably added only if, after changing the code, cmake is run manually.
Git information will be added only if the current HEAD is not associated with a tag in the form "bitpit-X.Y.Z" where "X.Y.Z" should match the version number. In this way git information will be shown only for development builds.
