Kevin Ballard updated THRIFT-6:
-------------------------------
Attachment: 0001-Add-version-switch-to-the-compiler-to-show-the-thri.patch
This patch (suitable for use with git-am) implements the -version switch on the
compiler. A compiler/cpp/src/version.h file is generated when compiling that
contains the THRIFT_VERSION and THRIFT_REVISION. A print_version.sh toplevel
script is included (used to make version.h) that's suitable for use from
language libraries if they wish to embed the current version/revision as well.

> Right now it's impossible to tell which version of Thrift you have installed.
> If you're depending on features that have recently been added (and that
> subtly don't exist), you can spend a lot of time chasing your tail trying to
> figure out what the problem is.
> This may be something that has to be implemented piecemeal on each client
> library (ruby gem, java classes, etc). Thoughts?
> While we're at it, let's add a --version switch or something to the compiler
> so you know what version of stuff you're actually generating.
