version

Overview

Simple library for parsing, comparing and checking compatibility of semantic versions implemented in C. It posseses the following characteristics:

• Compatible with C99;
• It is a Header Only Library;
• It was tested only on Linux (compatible with GNU GCC or clang);
• It doesn't use dynamic allocation of memory;

Example

A complete example of usage can be found in ./example.c. To compile and run the example, follow these steps:

• Download this project
• Navigate to its folder
• Run the make command to compile the examples:

$ make
gcc -pedantic -W -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -Wswitch-enum -Werror -std=c99 -O0 -g example.c -o example

• Just run the example (it sorts an array of semantic versions and check it against specifications):

$ ./example
