Help: Glob manual/*.rst in Sphinx configuration Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value. This reduces the number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.

Help: Add introduction section to cmake-policies manual Explain the concept behind policies.

Introduction
============
Policies in CMake are used to preserve backward compatible behavior
across multiple releases. When a new policy is introduced, newer CMake
versions will begin to warn about the backward compatible behavior. It
is possible to disable the warning by explicitly requesting the OLD, or
backward compatible behavior using the :command:`cmake_policy` command.
Help: Mark up references to NEW and OLD policy settings properly.
2014-02-03 17:16:49 +04:00
It is also possible to request ``NEW``, or non-backward compatible behavior

for a policy, also avoiding the warning. Each policy can also be set to

either ``NEW`` or ``OLD`` behavior explicitly on the command line with the

The :command:`cmake_minimum_required` command does more than report an
error if a too-old version of CMake is used to build a project. It
also sets all policies introduced in that CMake version or earlier to

endif()

2014-02-03 17:16:49 +04:00
This has the effect of using the ``NEW`` behavior with newer CMake releases which

2013-12-20 15:19:11 +04:00
users may be using and not issuing a compatibility warning.
The setting of a policy is confined in some cases to not propagate to the
parent scope. For example, if the files read by the :command:`include` command
or the :command:`find_package` command contain a use of :command:`cmake_policy`,
that policy setting will not affect the caller by default. Both commands accept
an optional ``NO_POLICY_SCOPE`` keyword to control this behavior.

2013-10-18 21:22:09 +04:00
The :variable:`CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED_VERSION` variable may also be used
to determine whether to report an error on use of deprecated macros or
functions.

Consider targets with double colons to be IMPORTED or ALIAS targets. Introduce a policy to control the behavior. The AliasTargets unit test already tests that using a double-semicolon in the name is not an error. Change the ExportImport test to use a namespace with a double-semicolon too.

Export: Report error on relative include with genex. Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression. Introduce a policy to issue an error message in such cases. The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an error on import.

QNX: Introduce QCC compiler id for that QNX platform compiler. Introduce policy CMP0047 to control resetting the id for compatibility. De-duplicate content in the QNX platform file by including the GNU one. QNX is a form of GNU platform. Do not clear CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_${lang}_FLAGS variables. They are populated again later by the Compiler/GNU.cmake file anyway. Modify the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OBJECT variable only when the QCC compiler id is in use, and the language is CXX. Use the QNX recommended flag for QCC instead of the gcc compatible -x flag. Populate new module files to handle system includes and depfiles when using the QCC compiler. Remove code which unsets the system include and depfiles related variables. When a GNU driver is used instead of the QCC one, the appropriate flags will be used. These variables were previously cleared for lowest-common-denominator compatibility with both drivers.

project: Manage VERSION variables Teach the project() command to set variables {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK} holding the project version number and its components. Add project() command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default to the empty string when it is not given. Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility. Suggested-by: Alex Neundorf <neundorf@kde.org>
