One can often see "build number" in about boxes of different applications for PC. Wouldn't it be nice if uVision had some sort of 'build counter'? It would help in tracing version numbers and show the amount of work spent for writing software.
This would normally be handled by a version/revision control system such as SCCS, SourceSafe, etc. uVision provides Pre-configured template files for: Intersolv PVCS, Microsoft SourceSafe, and MKS Source Integrity. (See the description of the SVCS menu in the Getting Started guide).
We use the custom translator feature to call an app to modify constants in an include file.
I should have thought of that myself. Now I'm going to do it in my project. Thank you for the idea.
Just to let you know, when we installed version 2.06 I had to rename the build# include file. We had build.h but I was forced to change it because uVision wouldn't let me pick a custom translator for .h files. I now call it build.rev.
