Define Documentation

#define EXIV2_RCSID id   ) 
 

Value:

namespace { \
        inline const char* getRcsId(const char*) { return id ; } \
        const char* rcsId = getRcsId(rcsId); \
    }
Macro to store version information in each object file.

Use this macro by including the following two lines at the beginning of each *.cpp file. See the ident(1) manual pages for more information.

         #include "rcsid.hpp"
         EXIV2_RCSID("@(#) $Id$");

The macro hack itself has the following purposes:

  1. To define the RCS id string variable in the local namespace, so that there won't be any duplicate extern symbols at link time.
  2. To avoid warnings of the type "variable declared and never used".
