Macro Definition Documentation

#define PPL_VERSION   "1.2"

A string containing the PPL version.

Let M and m denote the numbers associated to PPL_VERSION_MAJOR and PPL_VERSION_MINOR, respectively. The format of PPL_VERSION is M "." m if both PPL_VERSION_REVISION (r) and PPL_VERSION_BETA (b)are zero, M "." m "pre" b if PPL_VERSION_REVISION is zero and PPL_VERSION_BETA is not zero, M "." m "." r if PPL_VERSION_REVISION is not zero and PPL_VERSION_BETA is zero, M "." m "." r "pre" b if neither PPL_VERSION_REVISION nor PPL_VERSION_BETA are zero.

Function Documentation

int ppl_banner

(

const char **

p

)

Writes to *p a pointer to a character string containing the PPL banner.

The banner provides information about the PPL version, the licensing, the lack of any warranty whatsoever, the C++ compiler used to build the library, where to report bugs and where to look for further information.
