retrieve MAD-X version #68

Closed coldfix closed 9 years ago

coldfix commented 10 years ago

I think there should be a way to retrieve the MAD-X version programmatically. If possible the revision number would be even better.

Yes, there is a header generated during configuration. Mad_version.h or something... Check the cmake scripts for madx.

Cheers, Yngve

Hey,

The closest thing I found so far is in the file mad_gcst.h, which exports version_name and version_date_mod (although unfortunately intermixed with some useless string constants).

I will propbably open an issue and propose a patch.

Handled in fork based on newer MAD-X revision.
