BuildNumberInc

BuildNumberInc is an application to auto-increment the build number of a C/C++ project

Note

This repository is archived because I have no use for this application any more.

Usage

Add the executable and the arguments to the pre-build step of your IDE.

If the build number is declared as a #define no flags are needed. If the build number is declared as a const use the -c flag. If you want to use only LF (and not CRLF) as line endings in the source file use -r flag. If you want to see the changed build number add the -v flag.

Example

Atollic TrueSTUDIO for ARM

In project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Build Steps -> Pre-build steps -> Command

for a #define set:

<path_to_BuildNumberInc.exe>\BuildNumberInc.exe -v <path_to_file>\version.h SW_VER_BUILD

for a const set:

<path_to_BuildNumberInc.exe>\BuildNumberInc.exe -c -v <path_to_file>\version.h verBuildNo_0

Test file (version.h)

#ifndef VERSION_H
#define VERSION_H

#define SW_VER_MAJOR	1
#define SW_VER_MINOR	8
#define SW_VER_BUILD	28		// build number

namespace YourNamespace {

    const unsigned int verBuildNo_0 = 14; // a comment
    const uint16_t verBuildNo_1 = 27; // another comment

} // namespace

#endif // VERSION_H

Building the package

BuildNumberInc is a simple package so, if you have Go installed and added to your path, just type go build in the source directory.
