Hi,
I have implemented such a feature in a C++ program of mine. In my specific
case, I have a build script (in Windows and Linux versions) that is run by
Eclipse in the pre-build phase. The script creates a app_version.h file
that is a header file included in standard C++ files. The app version
header contains two defines, for instance:
#define APP_REVISION "585"
#define APP_TAG "4.1"
This is later used in the program at run time, specifically to in the name
of files created by the program, which allows me to keep track of different
output files created by different versions of the program.
The app revision define is obtained with: hg parents --template {rev}
The app tag define is obtained with: hg parents --template {latesttag}
HTH.
