[xsd-users] Capturing schema version number

[Ray Lischner]

We are using C++/Tree 3.3.0. We need to be able to record the schema version number in the generated code when the schema provides the version attribute. What I'd like to do is to declare an extern std::string or char array in the generated header, with the definition in the generated source file. I can easily write a script to get the schema version, but the --prologue and --epilogue switches insert their text outside the generated namespace. This is usually what I want, but in this case, I want to inject text inside the namespace. How do I do that?

At this point, the only two options I see are:

1. Modify xsd to generate the information I want. Add, say, --generate-version-string switch.
2. Write a script to post-process the generated source files.

Are there any other options?
