Files With Version Information

These are the only files that have version information in them:

• version_base.h – This should be the 1 source for version info.

• version_tag.h – Generated automatically with git tag information.

• verilog.spec – Used to stamp RPM packages

When versions are changed, the above files need to be edited to account for the new version information. The following used to have version information in them, but now their version information is generated:

The version_tag.h file is generated from git tag information using the “make version” target, or automatically if the version_tag.h file doesn’t exist at all. This implies that a “make version” is something worth doing when you do a “git pull” or create commits.

The files below are now edited by the Makefile and the version.exe program:

• iverilog-vpi.man – The .TH tag has a version string

• driver/iverilog.man – The .TH tag has a version string

• driver-vpi/res.rc – Used to build Windows version stamp

• vvp/vvp.man – The .TH tag has a version string

This now includes version_base.h to get the version:

• vpi/vams_simparam.c – Hard coded result to simulatorVersion query

The test suite no longer has version specific files since it tracks along with the code/branch.
