Functions

func NormalizeVersion

func NormalizeVersion(v string) (semver.Version, error)

This function takes a version string and returns a semantic version representation. If the string is not, itself, in semantic version form, a set of rules will be used to try and cast it into that form.

func ParseName

func ParseName(pkg string) (string, error)

func ParseUses

func ParseUses(code string) (map[string]semver.Version, error)

This function parses a string that represents Modelica code and extracts all the libraries that it uses (along with their version numbers). Sadly, one of Go's main weakness is its ability to built compiler compilers which makes creating a real Modelica parser problematic. :-(

func SimpleVersion

func SimpleVersion(v string) string

This function takes a potential complex version string like 1.5-build.3 and returns just the version part (no build or pre-release strings). Since we may be dealing with legacy version numbers, we cannot assume such a version string is a semantic version. So basically, we cut the string off at the first non-numeric non-. character.
