Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Query related to versions in moduleinfo.h and moduleinfo.nmake

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

These two files are related. They both convey version information
to the user. The contents of moduleinfo.h is expressed through the
Wireshark about dialog, on the plugins tab, while the contents of
moduleinfo.nmake is expressed through the Windows resource mechanism.

The format is MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO.EXTRA.

Since the VERSION string is a string EXTRA can be void.

MODULE_VERSION_* is an unsigned integer so has to be set to a value.
therefore MODULE_VERSION_EXTRA is normally set to 0. They way you set
them is correct.

You should keep them synchronized manually, since we have not devised
a way to do this automatically.

Thanx,
Jaap
