Purpose

Version information and printing utility. Defines version macros following Semantic Versioning and provides a function to print the version string.

Source reference: src/version.h

Public Types

None.

Public Macros/Constants

VERSION_MAJOR

Major version number.

Current value: 0

VERSION_MINOR

Minor version number.

Current value: 5

VERSION_PATCH

Patch version number.

Current value: 0

VERSION_PRERELEASE

Prerelease identifier string (e.g., “alpha”, “beta.1”).

Current value: “” (empty string)

_INCLUDE_VERSION

Include guard macro.

Version Format

The version follows Semantic Versioning:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-<prerelease>]

Examples:

• 0.5.0 (current release)

• 1.0.0-alpha (hypothetical prerelease)

Public Functions

void printVersion()

Prints the version string to standard output.

Output format:

StdFace version <major>.<minor>.<patch>[-<prerelease>]

The prerelease suffix is only printed if VERSION_PRERELEASE is non-empty.

Returns:

void

Implementation note: This function is defined inline in the header file.

Ownership and Lifetime Rules

Not applicable (no dynamic allocation).

Error Handling

None (simple print function).

Thread / MPI Safety

Uses printf() which is typically thread-safe for output, though interleaving with other threads’ output is possible. No MPI-specific considerations.
