[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45659] version function: options and return values supported by Matlab

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #45659 (project octave):

The attached patch adds "fftwf_version" to octave_config_info. Under normal
circumstances, this should always be the same as "fftw_version".

I did not know about ctime. Maybe it could be added to the "see also" of
datestr?

A comment on the make rules for HG-ID and libinterp/build-info.cc: As it
stands right now, libinterp/build-info.cc implicitly is a phony target because
it depends on the phony target HG-ID. Thus, build-info.cc is created on every
run of make. The changed file is then re-compiled and linked in every time.
This might lead to an unnecessarily increased compile (and linker!) time when
only changes on code for unrelated libraries were done.
My first approach was making only the target that created HG-ID phony and
making libinterp/build-info.cc depend on the file instead of on the target.
This however meant that the build time (in the same file) was only updated
(automatically) when the hg-id changed. Maybe a small trade-off for local wip
builds.
Any of the two approaches has their advantages, imho. Just wanted to re-phrase
what I tried to explain in my (not very clear) comment #12.
