version
| Definition: | sequence ver = version() |
| Description: |
version() is a function built-in to the interpreter. It indicates the version of the Phix interpreter/compiler used, as per constant phixverstr in pglobals.e, eg "0.8.2". |
| pwa/p2js: | Supported. |
| Comments: |
The call to verison() costs nothing. It is optimized at compile-time directly into a string literal.
The requires() routine should be used to ensure code is being run on a suitably up-to-date interpreter. |
| Example: |
?version() -- displays eg "0.8.2"
printf(1,"Version %s\n",{version()}) -- displays eg Version 0.8.2
?scanf(substitute(version(),"."," "),"%d %d %d") -- displays eg {{0,8,2}}
|
| Implementation: | Optimised away by the compiler - search for Z_version in pmain.e for more details. |
