1 | /* The date below is automatically updated every day by a bot. During |
2 | development, we include the date in the tools' version strings | |
3 | (visible in 'ld -v' etc.) because people build binutils from a | |
4 | variety of sources - git, tarballs, distro sources - and we want | |
5 | something that can easily identify the source they used when they | |
6 | report bugs. The bfd version plus date is usually good enough for | |
7 | that purpose. | |
8 | ||
9 | During development, this date ends up in libbfd and libopcodes | |
10 | sonames because people naturally expect shared libraries with the | |
11 | same soname to have compatible ABIs. We could bump the bfd version | |
12 | on every ABI change, but that's just another thing contributors and | |
13 | maintainers would need to remember. Instead, it's much easier for | |
14 | all if the soname contains the date. This is not perfect but is | |
15 | good enough. | |
16 | ||
17 | In releases, the date is not included in either version strings or | |
18 | sonames. */ | |
