solc-parser

The default format

pragma solidity [version];

Description

• Version parsing method :
  • Parsing the version from the file provided by the user as input.
  • If the range is specified (e.g., >=0.5.0 <=0.8.9), the latest version within that range is installed.
    • The logic is performed based on the presence of <, <= signs.
  • If ^, ~, or >= symbols are present, the latest patch version of the corresponding minor version is retrieved.
    • �For example, ^0.8.9 would retrieve version 0.8.20. ~0.7 would retrieve version 0.7.6.
  • If >, < symbols are present, the closest patch version to the specified version is selected.

Requirements

• Operating System: macOS (updating for Linux and Windows . . .)
• Python Versions: Python 3.8 and above
