why the indirection? XSTRINGIFY could just #x its argument, right?

I think this is one of the oddities of the preprocessor, explained in e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16989730/stringification-how-does-it-work .

I tried various simplifications, and ended up with either a compilation error,
or the version reported as "Subzero_revision_SUBZERO_REVISION" instead of having
the git hash.

Oh, yeah! STRINGFY(x) #x stringfies x without expanding macros... you could
**probably** define SUBZERO_REVISION to be a string (add the escaped
double-quotes in the Makefiles), but this is better.

[Jim Stichnoth, 2016/08/08 17:48:09]

Yeah - I kind of prefer dealing with quotes in the C++ code, rather than
subjecting it to the weirdness of shell and Makefile quoting/escaping.

+#define STRINGIFY(x) #x
+
+#ifndef SUBZERO_REVISION
+#define SUBZERO_REVISION unknown
+#endif // !SUBZERO_REVISION
+
+namespace Ice {
+const char *getSubzeroRevision() {
+  return "Subzero_revision_" XSTRINGIFY(SUBZERO_REVISION);
+}
+}
