# For SemVer 2.0.0
#[=======================================================================[.rst:
version
-------
Generate, parse and modify versions purely with CMake. Supports Semantic Versioning 2.0.0, 1.0.0 and other version formats.
Synopsis
^^^^^^^^
.. parsed-literal::
version(`PARSE`_ <out-var> <string>)
version(`GENERATE`_ <out-var> [COMPRESS] [MAJOR <major>] [MINOR <minor>] [PATCH <patch>] [TWEAK <tweak>] [PRERELEASE <prerelease>] [BUILD <build>])
version(`MODIFY`_ <out-var> <string> [COMPRESS] [MAJOR <major>] [MINOR <minor] [PATCH <patch>] [TWEAK <tweak>] [PRERELEASE <prerelease>] [BUILD <build>])
version(`COMPARE`_ <out-var> <a> <b>)
The following version constructs are currently supported:
.. code-block::
<major> "." <minor> ["." <patch> ["." <tweak>]]
<major> "." <minor> ["." <patch> ["." <tweak>]] [["-"] <pre-release>] ["+" <build>]
Parsing
^^^^^^^
.. _PARSE:
.. code-block:: cmake
version(PARSE <out-var> <string>)
Attempts to parse the version in ``<string>`` and stores the individual compoents into ``<out-var>_<component>``. If a component is not present in the given version, it will be undefined. If an error occurred, ``<out-var>_ERROR`` will be defined and contain the error message.
Generating
^^^^^^^^^^
.. _GENERATE:
.. code-block:: cmake
version(GENERATE <out-var> [COMPRESS] [MAJOR <major>] [MINOR <minor>] [PATCH <patch>] [TWEAK <tweak>] [PRERELEASE <prerelease>] [BUILD <build>])
Generates a version from the components provided and stores the result in ``<out-var>``. The components ``<major>`` and ``<minor>`` will default to ``0`` if not provided. If an error occurred, ``<out-var>_ERROR`` will be defined and contain the error message.
Modifying
^^^^^^^^^
.. _MODIFY:
.. code-block:: cmake
version(MODIFY <out-var> <string> [COMPRESS] [MAJOR <major>] [MINOR <minor] [PATCH <patch>] [TWEAK <tweak>] [PRERELEASE <prerelease>] [BUILD <build>])
Modifies the version provided in ``<string>`` with the components provided. The components ``<major>``, ``<minor>``, ``<patch>`` and ``<tweak>`` may have a prefix of ``+`` or ``-`` to add and subtract the value, or no prefix to replace. The result of this operation will be stored as a string in ``<out-var>``. If a component did not exist in the original, it will be added to the version as a replace operation. If an error occurred, ``<out-var>_ERROR`` will be defined and contain the error message.
Comparing
^^^^^^^^^
.. _COMPARE:
.. code-block:: cmake
version(COMPARE <out-var> <a> <b>)
Compares the version ``<a>`` against ``<b>`` and stores the result in ``<out-var>``. The provided version will be evaluated in the order MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH, TWEAK, PRERELEASE, and then BUILD. The following results should be expected:
- If a component is only in ``<a>``, ``<out-var>`` will contain the componenent name prefixed by ``+``.
- If a component is only in ``<b>``, ``<out-var>`` will contain the componenent name prefixed by ``-``.
- If a component is numerical and the value is larger in ``<a>``, ``<out-var>`` will contain the componenent name prefixed by ``>``.
- If a component is numerical and the value is larger in ``<b>``, ``<out-var>`` will contain the componenent name prefixed by ``<``.
- If a component is alphanumerical and the value is different in either, ``<out-var>`` will contain the component name with no prefix.
- In all other cases, ``<out-var>`` will be empty.
- If an error occurred, ``<out-var>_ERROR`` will be defined and contain the error message, and ``<out-var>`` will be undefined.
