can i get compilation version to promote by one and use in code in c++

i have meany compilations that each time i done compilation i move it to dyploy dir also i have debug and release versions , im getting lost here . my question is is there any way to promote some global variable by 1 each time im done compiling , maybe also getting the compilation type (debug oe release ) then i like to use this string in code: im using visual studio express 2008

something like :

Code:

---

std::string ver = VISUAL_STUDIO_MACRO_VERSIONING
if(ver > prev_ver)
{
 ..do something ..
 like print to log
}

---

you can use _MFC_VER and _DEBUG

examples:

#if _MSC_VER < 1202
//EVC 4.0 complier is cross 1200 - 1202
#else if _MSC_VER >= 1400
//Visual C++ 2005 complier is 1400
#else
//Visual C++ 2005 complier is 1400
#endif
///////////////////////////////////////

#ifdef _DEBUG
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

Thanks , but i dont understand how can i automatically promote it by one each compilation
how it can remember the last number , file ?

if you are using Vc++, this may help you.
