Re: Question on multiple compiler environment

Most compilers, especially the ones under UNIX/Linux, have
options like -v, -V or --version to print the version number to the
screen/standard output. You will then have to analyse that output.

Yes I know but nevertheless thank you for your answer. But this requires to write some kind of script which extracts the version number from the console output.

1. the "layout" of the console output differs from one compiler to another.

2. the "layout" may differ from one version to the other.

As a consequence, the scripts must be adapted each time a new version is available. Isn't there a more elegant way to determine the version number?
