First thanks for your answer
No problem.
I've already red this doc, but it doesn't explain why current,
revision and age number are changed
Sure it does.
You are confusing the *library* version with the *interface*
version. C:R:A
allows a developer to describe the interface version and
compatibility details
for their library. The soname and filename of the eventual
library is an
implementation detail that depends how *library* versions work on
the
particular OS you build on -- and will be different on Linux vs
Windows vs
AIX vs HPUX etc
So under Linux, if Major=C-A, Minor=A, Micro=R, say I develope a
library starting with 0.0.0:
According paragraph 6.3 of http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
manual.html,
Interfaces and library versions progress as follow:
[[snip]]
but Changing an interface modifies library version from 0.3.1 to
1.3.0
and removing an interface modifies library version from 2.3.0 to
6.0.0
Aren't library versions increasing a little too fast ?
Too fast for what? Are you worried about running out of numbers? ;-)
I just thought about publishing "mylib-85.0.0" (seems not very
serious ;-))
Are you updating C:R:A every time you change/remove/add an
interface? In
that case you will get through numbers *very* quickly unless your API is
extremely stable. The libtool documentation recommends that you only
update
C:R:A just before each release.
Cheers,
Gary
Yes, I fully agree with you Gary.
When and only when one decides his library has evolved enough and all
bugs were corrected (almost all !),
version number can be increased and library may be published. So every
library publishing
presents a normal version progression.
Many thanks for your explanations Gary.
And yet, back to coding :-))
