Query version information

We define several constants that can be used for feature testing and reporting:

DUST_VERSION_MAJOR 0

DUST_VERSION_MINOR 15

DUST_VERSION_PATCH 1

DUST_VERSION_STRING "0.15.1"

The most useful for testing is DUST_VERSION_CODE which is built from the major, minor and patch numbers (10000 * major + 100 + minor + patch), so version 1.23.45 would be 12345 and 0.4.8 would be 408

DUST_VERSION_CODE 1501

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <dust/random/random.hpp>

int main() {
  // Check version compatibility at compile time or runtime
  static_assert(DUST_VERSION_CODE > 1110, // requires at least 0.11.10
                "Your version of dust is too old, please upgrade");
  std::cout << DUST_VERSION_STRING << std::endl;
}

0.15.1
