Usage: (version-compare op v1 v2)
Converts v1 and v2 strings into 64 bit values and returns the
result of running 'op' on those values. It assumes that the version
is a 1 to 4 part dot-separated series of numbers. Suffixes like,
"5pre4" or "5-pre4" will be interpreted as two numbers. The first
number ("5" in this case) will be decremented and the number after
the "pre" will be added to 0xC000. (Unless your platform is unable
to support 64 bit integer arithmetic. Then it will be added to 0xC0.)
Consequently, these yield true:
(version-compare > "5.8.5" "5.8.5-pre4") (version-compare > "5.8.5-pre10" "5.8.5-pre4") |
Arguments:
op - comparison operator
v1 - first version
v2 - compared-to version
