Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
:mps:tag:`overview` There are three different sorts of version under
|
|
consideration:
|
|
|
|
1. versions of the (MPS) library used (linked with);
|
|
|
|
2. versions of the interface used (header files in C) when compiling
|
|
the client's program; and
|
|
|
|
3. versions of the documentation used when the client was writing the
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
There are issues of programmatic and human access to these versions.
|
|
|
|
:mps:tag:`overview.split` The design is split accordingly. See
|
|
:mps:ref:`design.mps.version-library` for the design of a system for
|
|
determining the version of the library one is using. And other
|
|
non-existent documents for the others.
