During + development, we include the date in the tools' version strings + (visible in 'ld -v' etc.) because people build binutils from a + variety of sources - git, tarballs, distro sources - and we want + something that can easily identify the source they used when they + report bugs. The bfd version plus date is usually good enough for + that purpose. + + During development, this date ends up in libbfd and libopcodes + sonames because people naturally expect shared libraries with the + same soname to have compatible ABIs. We could bump the bfd version + on every ABI change, but that's just another thing contributors and + maintainers would need to remember. Instead, it's much easier for + all if the soname contains the date. This is not perfect but is + good enough. + + In releases, the date is not included in either version strings or + sonames. */ +#define BFD_VERSION_DATE 20180127 +#define BFD_VERSION @bfd_version@ +#define BFD_VERSION_STRING @bfd_version_package@ @bfd_version_string@ +#define REPORT_BUGS_TO @report_bugs_to@ |
