Thanks!
CppRuntime_* version identifiers -
https://dlang.org/changelog/2.083.0.html#cppVersions
When is this different from the corresponding CRuntime version?
DUB_PACKAGE_VERSION environment variable -
https://dlang.org/changelog/2.083.0.html#env_var_package_version
The documentation for this one seems rather sparse.
- Is the environment variable set or read by Dub?
- What is the exact syntax for its contents?
- How does it affect the build process?
- What are some potential use cases?
The new variable does not affect the build process. It is set by
dub and has the content you also see by dub describe command.
In a pre command you can have a script which writes the content
of the variable to a constant within D module. Therefore it
becomes very easy to compile the version of your application into
your application.
Kind regards
Andre
