Track number of compiles done on a solution
-
Hi All, Is there any automated way in Visual C++ 2008 to count the number of times the solution gets compiled??
Why ? does it serve any purpose ? no way that I know of, but you could do a "post-event" script that increment a value and put it in a file somewhere.

Actually i want to include the number of compiles done on project's solution in my application's version number. e.g. if solution has been compiled 2315 times then version number could be made as v1.0.2315

What commands does post event script accept?? C++, DOS or any other?? Could you plz specify how to do that???

Thanks for the reply. :) Actually i am developing a console application in VC++. Earlier I thought of counting number of builds in some way and then adding the version information in readme file. After reading the suggested articles, I tried to integrate version information within application itself but the solution for those articles are for MFC applications i guess, since they are not working out in my console application. :confused: Can you please tell me a way of integrating version information in console application. I have tried adding "Version" resource in "Resource Files" but I am not able to link it to console application. Also, the addin utility at [^] suggested by Mr. CPallini gives errror that
VERSIONINFOBlock was not found in .rc file. Kindly suggest me a way to integrateVERSIONINFOblock in console application. And since i have posted this question 18 hrs back, i think slight modification might bring this thread under some attention otherwise i have to start a new discussion about this topic. :)modified on Saturday, March 14, 2009 8:18 AM
