◆ PCL_MODULE_UNIQUE_ID

#define PCL_MODULE_UNIQUE_ID ( uid ) ("PIXINSIGHT_MODULE_UNIQUE_ID_" PCL_STRINGIFY( uid ))

Deprecated:: This macro has been deprecated. It is kept as part of PCL for compatibility with existing modules. Do not use it in newly produced code.

◆ PCL_MODULE_VERSION

#define PCL_MODULE_VERSION	(	MM,
		mm,
		rr,
		bbbb,
		lan
	)

Value:

               ("PIXINSIGHT_MODULE_VERSION_"          \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( MM )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( mm )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( rr )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( bbbb )  "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( lan ))

Parameters

MM	The main (major) version number of the module. Must be an integer in the range from 0 to 99, and must be left-padded with a zero, when necessary.
mm	The second (minor) version number of the module. Must be an integer in the range from 0 to 99, and must be left-padded with a zero, when necessary.
rr	The revision version number of the module. Must be an integer in the range from 0 to 99, and must be left-padded with a zero, when necessary.
bbbb	The build version number of the module. Must be an integer in the range from 1 to 9999, and must be left-padded with a maximum of three zeros, as necessary.
lan	The primary language of the module. Must be a valid ISO 639.2 language code (a 3-letter code identifying a language).

This macro generates a string literal with the mandatory "PIXINSIGHT_MODULE_VERSION_" prefix prepended to the actual module version string, which is composed by concatenation of the specified macro arguments.

Example:

#define MODULE_VERSION_MAJOR     01
#define MODULE_VERSION_MINOR     00
#define MODULE_VERSION_REVISION  02
#define MODULE_VERSION_BUILD     0045
#define MODULE_VERSION_LANGUAGE  eng
...
#include <pcl/MetaModule.h>
...
class MyModule : public pcl::MetaModule
{
   // Define your module class here
};
...
const char* MyModule::Version() const
{
   return PCL_MODULE_VERSION( MODULE_VERSION_MAJOR,
                              MODULE_VERSION_MINOR,
                              MODULE_VERSION_REVISION,
                              MODULE_VERSION_BUILD,
                              MODULE_VERSION_LANGUAGE );
}

In the example above, the Version() member of MyModule would return the following version string:

"PIXINSIGHT_MODULE_VERSION_01.00.02.0045.eng"

◆ PCL_MODULE_VERSION_S

#define PCL_MODULE_VERSION_S	(	MM,
		mm,
		rr,
		bbbb,
		lan,
		status
	)

Value:

               ("PIXINSIGHT_MODULE_VERSION_"          \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( MM )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( mm )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( rr )    "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( bbbb )  "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( lan )   "."            \
                PCL_STRINGIFY( status ))

This macro is an extension of the PCL_MODULE_VERSION macro. It generates a version string that also includes a development status, specified as the status macro argument.

The status argument can have the following values:

alpha For an alpha development status

beta For a beta development status

release For a release (final) version

rc<n> For a release candidate version, where <n> is the release candidate number.

exp For an experimental version (usually a development version not intended for public release).

Other values are not recognized by the platform and cause rejection of a module for installation.

This macro generates a string that is suitable to be returned by a reimplementation of MetaModule::Version(). An example follows:
