Is it possible to figure out what solc versions (long format) forge installs?

[Saw-mon-and-Natalie]

When running forge build, is the solc version present in the contract is not installed, forge installs that version before compiling the contract and only outputs the version in X.Y.Z format.

Is it possible to find out the long version tag for the solc? Also where/ in which directory do the solc binaries get installed?

For example: v0.8.13+commit.abaa5c0e

The binaries are put in $HOME/.svm, and I think the only way currently is to run the solc binary manually to get the long version 🙂

Cheers, thank you. On my Windows machine using Git Bash I get:

$ ~/.svm/0.8.13/solc-0.8.13 --version
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.8.13+commit.abaa5c0e.Windows.msvc

I would be nice if forge had a flag to include the long version in its outputs.

Would you mind opening up an issue? It should be a relatively simple one or two liner here https://github.com/gakonst/foundry/blob/721093dc58c0d43b20c11acff04e21b34a6e76a0/cli/src/term.rs#L222-L228 :)
