If I didn't miss anything, something like RRD_VERSION is not available
to the user. rrd_format.h defines RRD_VERSION, but that's the version of
the file format. Imho it would be really nice to be able to get the
library version (or API version, but that should then be basically equal
to that version string passed to libtool - the interpretation of that
string by libtool makes me sick though [1]) from rrd.h.
Any thoughts about that?
Cheers,
Sebastian
[1] The string is made up of current:revision:age. Now, if I get libtool
right, the library's major SONAME version is calculated differently
depending on the architecture. E.g. Linux it's 'current - age' while
on FreeBSD it seems to be '"." current'. So, it looks like (at least
that's the only interpretation that makes sense to me) that some
architectures (like FreeBSD) are not able to handle additions to the
API correctly. I'd really appreciate if anybody could give me a hint
the helps me to get enlightenment in that respect ;-)
So, if we want to make the API version available thru some header
file, I guess, we'd have to reimplement that weird logic.
