If you really can't live without __TIME__ and other C++ macros, here's a
brutal (and quite possibly not completely correct) way to do it.
Step 1: Create a managed C++ class (BuildInfo.cpp)
---cut here---
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
namespace Foo
{
__value class BuildInfo
{
static const String* _buildDate;
static BuildInfo() { _buildDate = __DATE__; } // or whatever other
macro
public:
static const String* Date() { return _buildDate; }
};
}
---cut here---
Step 2: Make a .NET module (BuildInfo.module) out of it
cl /c /clr:noAssembly BuildInfo.cpp
link /NOASSEMBLY /DLL /NOENTRY BuildInfo.obj nochkclr.obj
Step 3: Use the module in your C# application (BuildInfoTest.cs)
csc BuildInfoTest.cs /addmodule:BuildInfo.netmodule
---cut here---
using System;
namespace Foo
{
class EntryPoint
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(Foo.BuildInfo.Date());
}
}
}
---cut here---
