Hi,
Is there a nice convenient way to determine which version of RIOT OS I am using form within my application code? I’m hoping for a nice symbol like riot_version or some such
I’ve noticed that the API changes occasionally and I’d like my code to be able to compile and run on multiple versions of the OS.
TIA,
Richard.
Hi,
The RIOT_VERSION
macro contains this information:
It’s used in the RIOT boot for example:
I guess we could add something like Linux’ KERNEL_VERSION
#ifndef KERNEL_VERSION
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a, b, c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + ((c) > 255 ? 255 : (c)))
#endif
and then
#define RIOT_VERSION_CODE KERNEL_VERSION(2021,7,0)
I opened a pull request to add the functionality.
