| /* The date below is automatically updated every day by a bot. During | |
| development, we include the date in the tools' version strings | |
| (visible in 'ld -v' etc.) because people build binutils from a | |
| variety of sources - git, tarballs, distro sources - and we want | |
| something that can easily identify the source they used when they | |
| report bugs. The bfd version plus date is usually good enough for | |
| that purpose. | |
| During development, this date ends up in libbfd and libopcodes | |
| sonames because people naturally expect shared libraries with the | |
| same soname to have compatible ABIs. We could bump the bfd version | |
| on every ABI change, but that's just another thing contributors and | |
| maintainers would need to remember. Instead, it's much easier for | |
| all if the soname contains the date. This is not perfect but is | |
| good enough. | |
| In releases, the date is not included in either version strings or | |
| sonames. */ | |
