Use header to define PiPL .r and .rrc

[AnmolM]

For reference, here are 2 threads with a similar issue - https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/how-do-people-manage-versioning-their-pipls/m-p/1048407... and https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/pipl-and-code-version-mismatch-warning/m-p/5531272#M136...

I have defined a header - VersionInfo.h with

#define	MAJOR_VERSION	1
#define	MINOR_VERSION	1
#define	BUG_VERSION		0
#define	STAGE_VERSION	PF_Stage_DEVELOP
#define	BUILD_VERSION	1
#define Product_MatchName "PRSY Blrs"
#define VENDOR_NAME "Prosya"
#define PRODUCT_NAME "Blurs"

#define RESOURCE_VERSION	MAJOR_VERSION * 524288 + MINOR_VERSION * 32768 + \
BUG_VERSION * 2048 + STAGE_VERSION * 512 + BUILD_VERSION

If I use these values inside ProductPiPL.r file I get compile errors.

#include "Win\VersionInfo.h"

/* [2] */
Name {PRODUCT_NAME},
/* [3] */
Category {VENDOR_NAME},
/* [8] */
AE_Effect_Version {RESOURCE_VERSION},
/* [12] */
AE_Effect_Match_Name {Product_MatchName},

I use this inside the main effect in About() and GlobalSetup() and there are no compile issues

static PF_Err About(PF_InData* in_data, PF_OutData* out_data, PF_ParamDef* params[], 
PF_LayerDef* output) {

AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP);

suites.ANSICallbacksSuite1()->sprintf(out_data->return_msg,
"%s v%d.%d  - ©, %d, Company Pvt. Ltd.\nDescription.\n", PRODUCT_NAME, 
MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, getYear());
return PF_Err_NONE;
}

static PF_Err GlobalSetup(PF_InData* in_data, PF_OutData* out_data, 
PF_ParamDef* params[], PF_LayerDef* output) {
AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP);
out_data->my_version = PF_VERSION(MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION,
		BUG_VERSION,STAGE_VERSION,BUILD_VERSION);

Got the answer from here - https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/pipl-quot-version-mismatch-quot/td-p/11024001

I replaced

#define RESOURCE_VERSION MAJOR_VERSION * 524288 + MINOR_VERSION * 32768 + BUG_VERSION * 2048 + STAGE_VERSION * 512 + BUILD_VERSION

With

#define RESOURCE_VERSION (MAJOR_VERSION << 19) + (MINOR_VERSION << 15) + (BUG_VERSION << 11) + BUILD_VERSION
