Hello, I am using the __DATE__ constant, to display it on screen at power-up. the screen is a 4x20 LCD, and the string returned by __DATE__ is quite long: "MMM DD YYYY".
Is there a way to select a different (shorter in my case) format, or is it cast in stone ? I downloaded the heavy GCC 4.3.3 PDF manual, and among 636 pages, the only occurence of __DATE__ is in this sentence: "The definitions for __DATE__ and __TIME__ when respectively, the date and time of translation are not available (C90 6.8.8, C99 6.10.8)." "not available" ? I thought maybe it's supplied by avr-libc then, but the manual for that doesn't has any, zero, mention of __DATE__ So it must be a gift from the AVR port of GCC then, but where is it documented ? While I am at it, in the same vein, has anybody a trick to retrieve the program revision number from subversion, so I can display that too along with the compilation date ? TIA.
