OT-Sort of--> Versioning

Hi,
Is there any standard mechanism for versioning when compiling.......
what i want is to increment a counter everytime a source file is
compiled. Are there any vendor specific ways people know? Maybe using
'make'??
I know i could write a checksum and version number to a text file and
then read it back it and compare it against a checksum of argv[0] but
its a bit crude!!

Regards

Michael

I use the __DATE__ macro from VC++, since one day is enough for me.

Gernot:

__DATE__ will give you "The compilation date of the current source
file". The point is if you are compiling incrementally, perhaps that
date wont be today. :-/
