I am trying to run this piece of code and it won't work. It doesn't like the:

Code:

#error WARNING: This is not the right version to use

Why am I doing wrong.

Heres the code:

Code:

#if ((__VER__!=__major__) || ((__VER__ == __major__ ) && (__VER_MINOR__ < __minor__ )))
#error WARNING: This is not the right version to use 
#endif

By the way, I forgot to add this:

Code:

#define __major__ 1
#define __minor__ 0

Is this in C++?

Yep...C++...(or C)

...

what I do is:

#ifdef SOME_DEF
#error THE ERROR!

#elif defined( SOMEDEF2 )
#error !!!
#endif

What actual Compiler are you using... then i might be able to help you

Tom · **Posted:** Mon Nov 18, 2002 5:45 pm

Sorry smguy...but you know C++? I didn't know that...

If you really know C++...why didn't you know what that:

#define

was?

Ah but that is where you are wrong my freind... many different languages use the #define command....TAKE AGI FOR INSTANCE...

Ohhhhhh... sorry

smartguy240 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 18, 2002 8:18 pm

Why would that work?...is that even what he asked?

beyondsociety, if __VER__ is 1.0, it will pass the first test because 1 does NOT equal 1.0. the second test will fail because it is neither 1 nor 0. it can only pass iff __VER__ is simultaneously 1 AND less than 0. obviously, that's very hard to do.

i don't know what compiler you're using, so i don't know what __VER__ contains, but you're testing the same define against two other unequal defines.

i'd take that code out.

I agree with this guy... but until so... just try and make do..is this all in the immeadite where you are finding this?

Here's what I did for integers in pk0.7:

#define FULLVERSION 0
#define VERSIONDOT 7

Print( FULLVERSION ); Print( "." ); Print( VERSIONDOT );

Output:

0.7

Tom, that is not what I meant. I already know how to do that.

What I meant was, I want to check to see if my code is a certain version. If its the right version, then it will run. If its not the right version, it errors out.

Could someone give me a example.

do what I did and just check each Define.
