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

Features

  • C++17
  • Header-only
  • Dependency-free
  • Constexpr comparison: <, <=, ==, !=, > >=
  • Constexpr from string
  • Constexpr to string
  • Constexpr range matching

Examples

  • Create

    constexpr version v1 = version{1, 2, 3, prerelease::rc, 4};
    constexpr version v2 = v1;
  • Сomparison

    constexpr semver::version v1{1, 4, 3};
    constexpr semver::version v2{1, 2, 4, semver::prerelease::alpha, 10};
    static_assert(v1 != v2);
    static_assert(v1 > v2);
    static_assert(v1 >= v2);
    static_assert(v2 < v1);
    static_assert(v2 <= v1);
  • To string

    semver::version v{1, 2, 3, prerelease::rc, 4};
    
    // To string.
    std::string s1 = v.to_string(); // may throw.
    
    // Non-member to string.
    std::string s2 = semver::to_string(v); // may throw.
    
    std::array<char, 32> str = {};
    
    // constexpr to chars, like <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/to_chars>.
    auto [p, ec] = v.to_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size()); // constexpr and no throw.
    
    // Non-member constexpr to chars, like <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/to_chars>.
    auto [p, ec] = semver::to_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size(), v); // constexpr and no throw.
  • From string

    std::string_view s = "1.2.3-rc.4";
    
    // From chars.
    semver::version v1{s}; // constexpr and may throw.
    
    // User-defined literals '_version'.
    semver::version v2 = "1.2.3-rc.4"_version; // constexpr and may throw.
    
    // constexpr from_chars, like <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/from_chars>.
    semver::version v3;
    auto [p, ec] = v3.to_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size()); // constexpr and no throw.
    
    // Non-member constexpr from chars, like <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/from_chars>.
    semver::version v4;
    auto [p, ec] = semver::to_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size(), v4); // constexpr and no throw.
    
    // Non-member from string.
    semver::version v5 = semver::from_string(s); // constexpr and may throw.
    std::optional<version> v6 = semver::from_string_noexcept(s); // constexpr and no throw.
    
    // From string.
    semver::version v6;
    v7.from_string(s); // constexpr and may throw.
    bool success = v8.from_string_noexcept(s); // constexpr and no throw.
  • Range matching

    constexpr auto range = semver::range(">=1.0.0 <2.0.0 || >3.2.1");
    constexpr auto version = semver::version("1.2.3");
    if (range.satisfies(version)) {
      // Do something.
    }
  • Range matching with prerelease tag

    constexpr auto range = semver::range(">1.2.3-beta.1");
    constexpr auto version = semver::version("3.4.5-alpha.0");
    
    // By default, version is allowed to satisfy range if at least one comparator with the same [major, minor, patch] has a prerelease tag.
    static_assert(!range.satisfies(version));
    // Suppress this behavior and treat prerelease versions as normal.
    static_assert(range.satisfies(version, semver::range::option::include_prerelease));

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.
)

    from_string() `invalid argument` exception

    Hi, I am trying to use from_string(). I am also using Qt.

    Below code works fine: semver::version version_in_db = semver::from_string(QString("1.0.0").toStdString());

    But the below code fails with an exeption of 'invalid argument': semver::version version_in_db = semver::from_string(QString("1.0.0-beta").toStdString());

    Adding the '-beta' seems to be causing it to fail.

  • Support prerelease with no number

    Support prerelease with no number

    According to semver, prerelease tags can have lots more content than just [alpha/beta/rc].#. While more work is required to support this, this PR adds the ability to specify a numberless prerelease range. Prerelease versions will also respect this (previously, 1.2.3-alpha implied 1.2.3-alpha.0).

    Comparatively, 1.2.3-alpha comes before 1.2.3-alpha.0 based on most other implementations.

    Hi, is there an option to check for new beta versions as well? When comparing 0.10.0-beta.2 > 0.10.0-beta.1, the result will be FALSE. I'd also like to check if the beta version increased.

  • Adding semver to vcpkg

    Adding semver to vcpkg

    Hi! I created a pull request to the vcpkg repository adding support for your library that you can see here: microsoft/vcpkg#12406. Alas, maintainers requested that the name in vcpkg be changed to something more specific than semver which they deemed to generic given the unestabilished status of the library.

    Do you have any other preferences or should we go with the proposed Neargye-semver?

  • Fix typo in name of library version constant

    Fix typo in name of library version constant

    Hello again, I noticed that the constant defining the version of the semver library itself contained a typo (semver_verion instead of semver_version). Changing this would of course technically break code using the old name, but I don't think there are many projects that would actually be affected by this, so it should be fine.

  • [Feature] Semver Ranges

    [Feature] Semver Ranges

    [Work in progress]

    It's a draft implementation of semver ranges. It's already supports basic range comparators like

    • >=1.2.7
    • >=1.2.0 <=2.3.4

    Example

    const semver::range range(">= 1.2.4 < 2.0.0");
    constexpr semver::version version = "1.5.2"_version;
    if (range.contains(version)) {
      // do something
    }
    

    What I'm going to do next:

    • support prerelease tags
    • support range set chaining by ||
    • support advanced range syntax (hyphen, caret, tilde, etc)
    • make it constexpr if possible

    Any suggestions and improvements are welcome.

    Exception in parsing "1.37.0-1"

    Nice header-only project, but unfortunately not usable for me, because the following code throws an exeption (semver::version::from_string invalid version).

    semver::version vNew = semver::from_string("1.37.0-1");
    

    According to semver.org, this is a valid version with "pre-release" tag.

        // auto version = semver::from_string("1.0.0"); // SUCCEEDS

    }
    

    fails with an exception

    semver::version::from_string invalid version.

    It is quite common to omit the patch version. So the from_string/from_chars function pair should be robust against the omission and add .0.

    Hi @Neargye,

    thanks for implementing semver! We've been using it in our project since version 0.1.8, but had to add the build metadata ourselves. It would be nice if you could add this also to the official repo.

    We use it to store and compare the build hash.
