C++ library compare and manipulate versions are available as extensions to the <major>.<minor>.<patch>-<prerelease_tag>+<build_metadata> format complying with Semantic Versioning 2.0.0

Features & Examples

• Parse

  semver::version v1;
  if (semver::parse("1.4.3", v1)) {
    const int patch = v1.patch(); // 3
    // do something...
  }
  
  semver::version v2;
  if (semver::parse("1.2.4-alpha.10")) {
    const std::string prerelease_tag = v2.prerelease_tag() // alpha.10
    // do something...
  }

• Сomparison

  assert(v1 != v2);
  assert(v1 > v2);
  assert(v1 >= v2);
  assert(v2 < v1);
  assert(v2 <= v1);

• Validate

  const bool result = semver::valid("1.2.3-alpha+build");
  assert(result);

• Range matching

  semver::range_set range;
  if (semver::parse(">=1.0.0 <2.0.0 || >3.2.1", range)) {
    semver::version version;
    if (semver::parse("1.2.3", version)) {
      assert(range.contains(version));
    }
  }

Integration

You should add required file semver.hpp.

If you are using vcpkg on your project for external dependencies, then you can use the neargye-semver.

If you are using Conan to manage your dependencies, merely add neargye-semver/x.y.z to your conan's requires, where x.y.z is the release version you want to use.

Alternatively, you can use something like CPM which is based on CMake's Fetch_Content module.

CPMAddPackage(
    NAME semver
    GITHUB_REPOSITORY Neargye/semver
    GIT_TAG x.y.z # Where `x.y.z` is the release version you want to use.
)
