Is there an xHarbour function to determine the C++ compiler version that the
application was compiled with ?? e.g. Borland 5.5, MSVC 8, Borland 5.82

Thanks

Out of curiosity: why do you need that?

I manage many applications for our Health Agency .. over 5000 people and
over 150 servers spanning the entire state. At any one given time there may
be several versions of the same program ( clients ) on local lans .. it
would be nice to know ( help and about ) what the .exe build date is,
xHarbour version, FWH version and C++ compiler version used... for
historical and trouble-shooting purposes.

I am using Borland Turbo c++ 5.82 and when I plug in the hb_compiler() I get
Borland C++ 5.51. I know I am using 5.82 because of the compiler output log
specifically shows Borland C++ 5.82

How do you compile with MSVC8? It run in .NET?

Thanks

MSVC 8 is just a C++ compiler .. no different than Borland or Pelles .. .Net
is a WinAPI that uses Microsoft's client framework as it's run-time library.

Msvc can compile an xHarbour program quite nicely no different than it does
a C++ project in Visual Studio.

The compiler is just the mechanism to ( for lack of a more simplistic term )
as a way of creating an object from your code and then using a linker to
create the executable. Dot Net is just a WinAPI

Just my take on the subject.
